Ragtime flourished in the united states from the 1890s to about 1915. It's a fast-paced, syncopated musical genre that helped pave the way for jazz, dominated American popular music from around 1899 to 1917.
In the final decades of the 19th century, ragtime developed through the performances of honky-tonk pianists along the Mississippi and Missouri rivers. It incorporated elements of European music as well as minstrel show tunes, African American banjo playing styles, syncopated (off-beat) cakewalk dancing rhythms, and other genres. Ragtime's distinctive expression was found in formally organised piano compositions. A quick, bouncingly syncopated melody in the right hand was in time with the regularly emphasised left-hand beat and provided the piece with its energising forward momentum.
The most popular of the early rags, "The Maple Leaf Rag," was published in 1899 by Scott Joplin, known as the "King of Ragtime." Joplin wrote hundreds of little works, a collection of études, and operas in the ragtime form because he thought it was a permanent and serious subgenre of classical music. Other notable performers included Tony Jackson in New Orleans and Louis Chauvin in St. Louis. Thomas M. Turpin is known as the "Father of St. Louis Ragtime."
