I realize this is an old post, but the only sheet music I found for this piece is at:

Sheet music from french site:

https://ragtime-france.net/Ragtime/Bon/PDF/Steeplechase_Rag.pdf

In another web site I saw this link referenced with the comment that they weren't sure of the accuracy of the transcription. I downloaded the music from this link. I have my suspicions that it lacks accuracy but don't have enough expertise to be sure. If anyone can comment on this and/or has knowledge of sheet music for this piece that is accurate, I'd appreciate hearing of this.

And what site was that that you heard it from?  I'm curious because it's cute and I'd like to play it!

Birba,

I probably didn't make myself clear. The "another site" I mentioned is commenting on that same french link I show above. That link is the only one I have for sheet music to this rag. I no longer recall how to get to this "another site" but I'll get that info to you if I run across it again. I know I found it thru google but it really didn't have any more useful info than what I stated above.

Sorry about the lateness of this reply, but I do have "Steeplechase Rag" buried some place in my collection. If you are still interested, I will look it up for you.
