Scott Joplin is the greatest American composer of our entire history. Period. Sublime and haunting melody which once he grabs you with, you can NOT forget. How I love this music.

[@SconnerStudios]

I'd rank him as #2 or #3 ever. Beethoven is unmatched, and even though I'd choose Joplin over Tchaikovsky, either one could be #2 or #3. Probably Brian Wilson after and maybe John Williams or Little Richard #5.

[@kasajizo8963]

@@SconnerStudios what are you waffling about

[@andrewjacobs6576]

@@SconnerStudios he said american

[@SconnerStudios]

@@kasajizo8963 His influence basically created Jazz and Swing, which would sprout out to Rock music, which then would sprout into hip-hop. So if you listen to Jazz, Swing, rock, or hip-hop, you should appreciate and thank Scott Joplin for his work. It's just a shame he died so young, he had so much potential. Even wrote an actual opera on top of pioneering ragtime. Beethoven was the first person to truly make music emotional, though. He broke the mold of making music about something and not just "happy happy happy" music for wealthy European elites.

[@SconnerStudios]

@@andrewjacobs6576 then for American composers I would say no doubt Joplin. Though Joplin shouldn't get all the credit, as slave songs heavily influenced him and later genres. But there was no single slave composer, it was obviously something created by probably thousands of slaves across the hemisphere over centuries. Joplin understood and harnessed influence of their music for the first time, though.

After two months she pretty well had it licked. However, because it took her so darn long to learn it, she didn't want to play it anymore after she nailed it.

My entrée into music appreciation as a kid was Scott Joplin's music used in the movie The Sting. I used my allowance money to buy the soundtrack on 4 track tape. Later I bought several discs of ragtime. I watched this movie in its original broadcast and then again in a midnight showing on tv. The subject matter was rather trying for a twelve year old, both Joplin and his friend getting syphilis from prostitutes. But I loved it nonetheless. Thanks for posting this and bringing me back to my first love.

***** His buddy (Louis Chauvin) was a better player. Joplin was just the composer of the song. He just leaves so the publisher can hear the song he composed and that louis chauvin played by ear.

Brier would either go too far and his opponent wouldn't be able to follow nicely or he wouldn't play with all his heart and it wouldn't be right, sorta. People would know he could do more.

Ragtime (ragged-time, «tiempo rasgado»), abreviado en ocasiones como «rag», es un género musical estadounidense que se popularizó a finales del siglo XIX derivado de la marcha, caracterizado por una melodía sincopada y un ritmo acentuado en los tiempos impares (primer y tercero). Entre sus raíces aparecen elementos de marcha en el estilo de John Philip Sousa y de ritmos provenientes de la música africana.1 Es una de las primeras formas musicales verdaderamente estadounidenses y una de las influencias en el desarrollo del jazz.2 Su principal compositor fue Scott Joplin, quien saltó a la fama tras la publicación en 1899 del Maple Leaf Rag, el cual, junto con otros éxitos posteriores, contribuyó a definir la forma conocida como ragtime clásico, con una armonía, estructura y métrica particular, en contraste con las formas más primitivas de ragtime caracterizadas por una mayor flexibilidad
