Music by:

Scott Joplin (1868-1917) grew up in the time and place where a new music was evolving....

He was one of the pioneers of Ragtime Music making a name for himself with "Maple Leaf Rag". Usually credited solely to Joplin, "Swipesy" was a collaboration with his pupil Arthur Marshall.

Joplin also co-wrote rags with Scott Hayden (1882-1915), and he provided some assistance to James Scott when he introduced him to his publisher.

Scott Joplin is almost an exact contemporary of Debussy, and in fact influenced some of his work.

History of the Ragtime Music :

Ragtime in general and Scott Joplin in particular reached a new audience when "The Entertainer" was used on the soundtrack to the movie "The Sting".

Ragtime emerged as a form of music towards the end of the 19th century, and this was one of a number of musical styles which had their roots in this time period.

This increasing diversity resulted from the fusion of African and European musical ideas in the Southern States of the U.S.

It wasn't so much a deliberate crafting by music scholars, but more the result of experimentation and informal learning by example, often by self-taught musicians who played in streets and bars.

This informal folk music became formalised into Ragtime by composers like Harney and Joplin who played the music to large audiences and published it so that its popularity spread across the country.
