File:"That Captivating Rag" by Ruth Orndorff (1912).oga

Here's a really nice march rag from an otherwise unknown composer from Indiana who self-published it in 1912. There are a few printing mistakes which I've corrected so it plays as was intended, mostly missing accidentals and ties. But it goes to show what a talented individual working on their own could produce even then. The original score found its way into the collection at Indiana University which is online available to all.

Score #78 in my current ongoing series "Women Ragtime Composers".

This is a reproduction of the original score with a number of corrections made. Changed measure 17 to match the pattern of measure 9; added ties at measures 45, 53, 61 and 69. Added missing accidentals in a number of places in the C strain. Changed the third RH chord at measure 27 to an eighth. Changed the second RH chord bottom note to C# at measure 59.
