'stormy' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)

'piece by joplin with one sharp?' is the wordplay.
'piece' becomes 'r' (abbreviation for Rook).
'by joplin' becomes 'ag' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'with one sharp?' becomes 'ing' (I've seen this in another clue).
'r'+'ag'+'ing'='RAGING'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for raging that I've seen before include "(Of fire or storm) violent" , ". . . . . . Bull (Martin Scorsese film)" , "wild" , "Furious, behaving violently" , "Mad" .)
