Reviews Composer Back Scott Joplin (1868-1917) - Ragtime Composer Born in Texas in 1868, Scott Joplin was one of the originators of the new Ragtime music and certainly the best-known of such composers. Like many accomplished musicians, he started early learning the piano from age 7, and was taken onboard by a music teacher who helped to broaden his musical education. Joplin left home while still a teenager and worked as a pianist in the Southern States learning many of his skills on the job. The areas he worked in were the cradle of music where cultures met and mixed, and musical styles combined and expanded. Joplin then settled in St. Louis for a number of years, playing the cornet in a band and forming his own vocal group with his brothers for which he started writing songs. He also met Arthur Marshall (with whom he was later to co-write the Swipesy Cakewalk ), stayed with his family for a time, and the pair attended higher musical education classes. Like many other ragtime composers, his main trade was playing piano in honky-tonk bars and clubs. It was in 1898 that Joplin sold his first rag called "Original Rags" and soon afterwards he found a publisher, John Stark, for his

Ragtime By: Catherine Schmidt-Jones Summary: A brief history of ragtime music Just before the twentieth century began, a craze for "ragged music" swept the United States. After enjoying great popularity for a few decades, ragtime faded, as all crazes do. But it left a permanent mark on American music. Not only was ragtime itself one of the first widely popular styles of music that actually developed in the U.S., but it also played a major part in the development of a style that has been called "America's music": jazz. Origins There are four main types of ragtime music. The only type still commonly heard today is the "classic" instrumental rag that was so popular in ragtime's heyday. This is usually a march-tempo piece for piano or band, with a steady "boom-chick" bass and a very syncopated , or "ragged", melody. Ragtime songs , many of which were not particularly ragged, and ragtime or syncopated waltzes , in 3/4 meter, were also popular in ragtime's golden age. The fourth type of ragtime began well before the ragtime era and is still practiced today by jazz musicians. This is the practice of ragging an existing piece of music. To "rag" a piece of music is to take a well-known tune and change the rhythm of it to make it syncopated, or "jazzy"-sounding. (PUT audio example here)

Listening to Ragtime By: Catherine Schmidt-Jones Summary: For the beginning listener, how to recognize ragtime music and what to listen for while enjoying it. What is Ragtime? Please see Ragtime and Scott Joplin for more in-depth introductions to this style of music. Classic ragtime , which developed in the U.S. around the beginning of the twentieth century, is not jazz, but it was a very important precursor that strongly influenced early jazz. Taking important elements from both African-American and European-American musical traditions, ragtime was wildly popular in its heyday. It was also one of the first musical styles invented in the U.S. to have an important influence on music history. Basic Elements of Ragtime Here are some of the basic musical elements that are typical of classic ragtime. Rhythm The name ragtime refers to the "ragged", or off-the-beat, syncopated rhythms of ragtime. To rag a piece of music is to play with its rhythms, to make them jazzier. This is one of the most important characteristics of ragtime. In classic ragtime, in order to give the ragged

It contains downloadable MIDI sequences of ragtime, stride, swing and novelty piano. You can hear my versions of compositions by Scott Joplin, Eubie Blake, James P. Johnson, Willie "The Lion" Smith, Fats Waller and other pioneers, as well as some of their contemporary progeny. You will need a MIDI player in order to listen to the music. Most computers come with sound cards that will allow you to hear my sequences; however, a wavetable sound card or an external sound module will give the best results. Ragtime Ragtime's golden age was between 1899 (with the publication of Scott Joplin's "Maple Leaf Rag") and 1917 (the year he died). More than six thousand rags were published during those eighteen years. You can find on my web site many examples of Joplin's work as well as those of his contemporaries and stylistic progeny. Stride Stride piano (also known as Harlem stride piano) grew out of ragtime music. The energetic and dynamic style was fathered by James P. Johnson who mentored Thomas "Fats" Waller, perhaps the most famous stridemeister of all. The third "father" of stride was Willie "The Lion" Smith.
