"Russian Rag" is a 1918 ragtime jazz piano composition by George L. Cobb.[1][2] The composition was published by Francis, Day & Hunter Ltd.[1]
The composition is based on the opening chord progression of Rachmaninoff's Prelude in C-sharp minor, Op.3, No.2. The piece was such a hit that Cobb wrote The New Russian Rag in 1923 in an attempt to arrange more of the Rachmaninoff prelude for ragtime piano.[3][4]
Elena Kats-Chernin wrote another later piano composition entitled Russian Rag in 1996.[5][6]
