Scott Joplin's Ragtime
Session Topics: AMS

Session Abstract | ||
This presentation explores the development of Scott Joplin’s ragtime piano style in the context of the evolution of American popular music from 1890 to 1917. Ragtime was a newly invented style in the 1890s. It translated popular songs into piano pieces that were suitable for the parlor but retained the rhythms of social dance, integrating features from European and Black American dance forms. Nonken demonstrates how we can see in Joplin’s music the several kinds of music that were combined to create a new, commercially viable style. | ||
