He was one of the greatest American musical composers of all time. His music is loved by all Americans of every ethnicity and even non-Americans who love American culture. Rest in peace Mr Scott Joplin.
Indeed...I am 72, and, like most people, have my problems now and again...but putting this music on makes me dance and sing. I probably look a proper idiot, but I don't care : It makes me feel young and happy again.
@PC...You might say the same about Judy Garland's big screen, small screen and stage performances. In fact, I suspect Garland and Joplin would've been good friends -- as artists!
No way he could have imagined! I'm one of the old boomers and I never could have imagined cell phones with computer displays and less than the size of a deck of cards. This music lives on with Mozart and Beethoven, Brubeck and Armstrong!
If he came back right now and we played one of his songs on a computer he would straight die again from sheer fright. It would literally like break his brain.

« in the fall of 1900, the “Maple Leaf Rag” caught on with the general public, and became the first piece of sheet music to sell more than one million copies-a figure all the more stunning when one realizes that there were fewer than 100,000 professional musicians and music teachers in the United States at the time. » -- Ted Gioia, The History of Jazz
William Fishman that’s around the time Joplin Created the magnetic rag, the last piece he made before syphilis forced him Into an asylum. Might be wrong.
"became the first piece of sheet music to sell more than one million copies" CORRECTION: Maple Leaf Rag was the first piece of INSTRUMENTAL sheet music to sell more than one million copies. "Old Folks at Home" by Stephen Foster (Way Down Upon the Swanee River), published in 1851, sold more than 20 million copies of sheet music, but that one had vocals.
Yes fewer than 100k professional musicians which just means people whose job they get paid for is playing music. Put back in those days people had pianos in their home and someone in the family or whoever at a party or something would play. This was before recorded music to listen at home tech really existed and so that’s how people listened to music in their homes.
Well, I feel like Scott was a big part of American classical music. In my opinion, he really bridged the gap between European classical and American classical.
Can you imagine walking down some cobbled street back then, having heard nothing but classical music your entire life, and then hearing this glorious racket drifting out from some open window?
I was walking home from the theater one night with my brother and sister and I heard a radio playing opera so clearly- only after a moment, i recognised the voice. My aunt was singing! It was so facinating.
There was an episode of Murdoch Mysteries where ragtime came to Toronto for the first time, and while some people liked it, others considered it a bunch of noise since the ragged syncopations didn't agree with them, and still others considered it unholy music that should be banned. Probably not the most accurate view, but it was a fun episode to watch.
For me, ragtime tunes have an amazing medicinal effect when i'm feeling stressed. It's a soothing mental and emotional vacation with blue skies, warm sun, fresh sea breezes, and fragrant blossoms.
This is a very well recorded album...can hear the notes travel up and down the keyboard. Scott Joplin wasn't just a gift to America, he was a gift to the World.
This album sounds like it was recorded in a tin can with a cheap piano. Additionally, the pieces are performed mechanically, and sometimes too fast as well.
Scott Joplin published a tutorial with very precise instructions on how he wanted his rags to be played. One of his demands was precision. Also, Scott Joplin was taught classical music.
It’s incredible that this one man managed to create so many instantly recognisable and famous pieces. He’s probably made more famous songs than most musicians ever will
There were hundreds of people writing rag tunes inspired by Joplin, thousands of tunes that have been lost to history. But Joplin’s works were published and I suppose that’s how they survived.
I like how the piano is professionally "DETUNED" giving it that honkytonk" RING" I use to play a lot of his music on piano!!!.( entertainer, maple leaf rag, got the most requests)
I could listen to this ragtime all day. It's not intrusive, angry, melancholy or bombastic. Reminds me of a summer afternoon picnic. They danced something called a 'cake walk' to this in its day. A risque dance at the time. It's as American as apple pie. Love it!
I think the main reason he isnt praised as much as the ones that came before him is because he only wrote like, 80 works. Even though he deeply influenced American Music and broke racial barriers, people like Bach literally wrote HUNDREDS of masterpieces. Not only that but he goes to the "top 100 greatest musicians of all time" category, and they only teach about the top 5 usually
This is a genius, I am Italian and I love this sound melody, which accompanied the comedians of Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy, Buster Keaton, Harold Lloyd, and other characters that were broadcast on TV in Italy ..... Thanks Scott
Joplin deserves A LOT LOT more credit for his contribution to classical popular music than what he is given. He indeed was a very accomplished pianist and composer!.
I am such a big fan of this genius , so many people have asked me' magic fingers maxwell ' if they could play along side me on RUclips sadly the people who I would love to do this with are so far above me that I can only dream of doing it, and in this case only his music lives on and if there is any justice it will live on for ever . I sit at your feet
Scott Joplin's music is timeless. This stuff is absolutely popping. What a genuine lad. I was taught that he was uneducated an poor, but he is an absolute master. Fantastic music!!!
i remember back in 6th grade being asked to write an essay about who from the past i would want to meet and why..i wrote immediately about scott joplin
THE STING! What a movie and what a music score! I knew Rag Time but t was that movie that reminded me of Scott Joplin and the music he brought back to my attention...
Scott Joplin is America's best composer from the 1900s. He is to music what Van Gogh is to painting. Both chose their styles in which to work in. Joplin did ragtime and Van Gogh was an impressionist. Both died destitute. I'm always saying Joplin is one of my favorite songwriters. Most people say, "Janis?"
Two different genres, Janis was a blues singer. Scott Joplin did his own thing Rag time. they're both blues but Scott came up with a whole different style of music. Though he did not create Rag he was known as the King of Rag time. so lets just leave it at that and give Mr. Joplin his due. The King of Rag Time. Honestly on of Americas Best Black Performers. Yes we had some wonderful and talented Black Artists Louis Armstrong, is another of my Favorites. But sadly today's Black artists Suck. they really have no talent. Not like these Artists. Are you going to try to say that Kayne West is an Artists.. Not by any means. To me he's just a lucky loud mouth that got famous. Being Famous doesn't make you an artist or talented. It just makes you famous.
@@j.barryarlington4621 you've obviously never took the time to appreciate any of Kanye West's music. He may be really stupid sometimes, but he can make some really damn good music. We've always have great musicians in history, black or white. Scott Joplin and Kanye West are both extremely important figures to American culture and society.
I really like felicity rag, something doing, sunflower slow drag, paragon rag, fig leaf rag, original rags and a breeze from alabama. truly fun and well composed piano tunes!
@@gregoryclemen1870 True. And it seems to me that rock and roll was somewhat a dumbing down of the complexity and nuance of Rag. And I grew up in the rock and roll age.
@@LifeIsThePrayer , it is a cross between COUNTRY and R&B music, in 1955 it was known as ROCK-A-BILLY music. correct me if I am wrong, I think" rock-&-roll" music was coined by the disk jocky ALLEN FRIED.
Utter happiness from listening to this music! But it also drove me to read more about Scott Joplin than I have ever done before, and my admiration for this composer has grown. He was a tenacious man living in enormously difficult circumstances, possessed with enormous self-belief in the value of his work. If not for his early death, perhaps he might have seen some of the wider recognition for his opera that he had tirelessly sought. It is a pleasure to hear his music over a century later.
One of the best musicians who ever lived! The Entertainer is an amazing piece of music especially when Mr. Joplin plays it. Too bad he did not get the recognition he deserved when he was alive due to prejudice. May your soul rest in peace, Mr Joplin.
Great ! Indeed great music! I love Scott Joplin' s compositions! I think he'd be surprised to know that after 100 years people search on net after his music! 😊 His music was played in very famous places on those times ,like the famous ship, the Titanic!
I think Joplin would be astonished, but incredibly proud of the respect given to his music today, as that respect could not be guaranteed in his day. I have a copy of his tutorial on playing rags, and he complained about people calling his style a "rag" and insisted that it would be taken seriously as a genre of music whether people liked it or not.
When I was in high school this is all I wanted to play. My piano teacher got me a book of his songs and I was in heaven! Still have it and anytime anyone asks me to sit down and play, first thing I play is The Entertainer or Maple Leaf Rag. One of the greats!
My favourites: - Maple Leaf Rag - The Entertainer - The cascades - The Easy Winners - A Breeze from Alabama I compose rags too & publish them on my channel
This reminds me of my teenage days back in the 1910s when I was just chillin on my porch, listening to ragtime jazz on a cloudy Sunday afternoon. It's great to rehear this beautiful genre again this 2020. Brings me back to simpler times. :)))
@@user-cj6pe3vy3b oldest person from 1907 so technically its possible. Scott died 1917 so there are potentially people who’ve witnessed his existence still living which is quite amazing to think about, or better yet Teddy Roosevelt, Bass Reeves the gunman (pretty unlikely tbh lol) or even Babe Ruthe in his prime
@@mattdad8429 That is an idiotic statement. Popular music had been written for centuries around the world. Even in America, and Stephen Foster and John Phillip Sousa had been writing popular songs decades earlier. SMH
As someone born in the early 21st century I must say, why did ragtime have to stop? The best music genre of all time in my opinion, and one that definitely deserves more appreciation. And Scott Joplin's especially, they are the greatest sounds to have ever graced my ears.
Thats what I bee askings. :[ LIKE MMM, Ragtime was such a amazing genre that didn't deserve to die out like it did. Yet at the same time, I suppose it's seemingly short-secret history is one of the things that makes it so special. :>
Ragtime had a full 20 years to be an international craze. But music changes, and ragtime transitioned into jazz, so that worked out pretty well. But continue being a fan and keeping the music alive!
I think I'm going to break the chair I'm sitting on: I'm dancing wildly and smiling endlessly, I've just realised about it. Pure happiness! Thanks God for Joplin. And thank you for posting it! "like it", of course!
I can't play the piano but my oldest sis can and when I was a boy she would play Joplin all the time. That was over 50 years ago and I love it to this day.
this is pure classical in all its kind must have heard this wayy back on radio 4 in the uk and only recently heard online again just can beat it pure gold dust 👌
Watched the movie "The Sting" with Paul Neuman and Robert Redford when I was 12, I loved it but did not understand it, just watched it last night, wow what a great movie, I highly recommend it, its what brought "The Entertainer" to the general public attention.
Scott Joplin created a sound that is instantly recognisable as well as composing timeless scores that are enjoyed today over a hundred years on. Thank you for posting.
Thank you for paying respects guys.

Right you are!
You know, I could easily give ANYTHING for a simpler time than now because you cannot be any more right than you are now
It sure does remind me of the sweet, simple pleasures of life... My ice cream truck used to play some of these tunes as a kid! ;)
Life is still poggers, even if the world is bonkers*
I feel the same way about Chopin's mazurkas.
I'm sure Scott never imagined the world would be listening to his works across the world over computers on the world wide web long after he's gone.
No way he could have imagined! I'm one of the old boomers and I never could have imagined cell phones with computer displays and less than the size of a deck of cards. This music lives on with Mozart and Beethoven, Brubeck and Armstrong!
I'm sure if Joplin were alive today he'd be thrilled with the technology available for him to make even more music and with ease.

To me , rag kinda sounds like the bridge between classical and jazz music. Oh yes, and Scott was crazy talented.
If you come from that standpoint you might want to look up Gunther Schuller. He thought much like Joplin.
It really was more of a bridge from blues to jazz
Kind of reminds me of some of Chopins late waltzes in some way. But in a rythmic and 4/4 time signature of course.

Utter happiness from listening to this music! But it also drove me to read more about Scott Joplin than I have ever done before, and my admiration for this composer has grown. He was a tenacious man living in enormously difficult circumstances, possessed with enormous self-belief in the value of his work. If not for his early death, perhaps he might have seen some of the wider recognition for his opera that he had tirelessly sought. It is a pleasure to hear his music over a century later.
Thank you for everything Scott! ❤ 😢
Thankful to see people coming here in large amounts since I last visited.
@Barlos Must have been a damn good time
No matter how far into the huture we go S.Joplin's pieces will never die. S. Joplin's music is timeless ....from Fort Worth, Texas
One of the best musicians who ever lived! The Entertainer is an amazing piece of music especially when Mr. Joplin plays it. Too bad he did not get the recognition he deserved when he was alive due to prejudice. May your soul rest in peace, Mr Joplin.
Patsy Ryan....and he died very poor, financially speaking.
😷🙏🌞
He was famous and he wasn't a good pianist
@@justina9914 how was he not?
@@洪諒 he simply wasn't a good pianist
@@洪諒 he only wrote mainly
I like this music!!!
Great ! Indeed great music! I love Scott Joplin' s compositions! I think he'd be surprised to know that after 100 years people search on net after his music! 😊 His music was played in very famous places on those times ,like the famous ship, the Titanic!
I think Joplin would be astonished, but incredibly proud of the respect given to his music today, as that respect could not be guaranteed in his day. I have a copy of his tutorial on playing rags, and he complained about people calling his style a "rag" and insisted that it would be taken seriously as a genre of music whether people liked it or not.
Simple. Simple and sweet. Complete.
I have been listening to this beautiful piano ragtime and I instantly have a smile on my face and the world is great again !!!
Hello Stephanie, How are you doing?
Doing so well still loving my Scott Joplin ragtime!
The world's best ragtime (or jazz) piano composer. No other qualifiers need be mentioned.
Gotta say, I've heard a lot of versions, but this one really jumps out. Crisp & lively!
When I was in high school this is all I wanted to play. My piano teacher got me a book of his songs and I was in heaven! Still have it and anytime anyone asks me to sit down and play, first thing I play is The Entertainer or Maple Leaf Rag. One of the greats!
Génial.Ca donne la pêche.Merci beaucoup.🤩😇😃🙏
Grazie grazie grazie Scott!!!
This is 130 year old rock and roll and it still rocks
not rock, it's Rag
@@HUTINAK oh, don't worry, I think it's a joke
@@HUTINAK ragrock
It was pretty edgy for a lot of people. The kind of music “civilized folk” wouldn’t be caught dead listening to.
Yea
Scott Joplin always brings a smile to my face .
My heart dances when I hear this album
Beautiful music. Thanks Mr. Joplin.
For some reason I never get tired of listening. Day and night.
My favourites:
- Maple Leaf Rag
- The Entertainer
- The cascades
- The Easy Winners
- A Breeze from Alabama
I compose rags too & publish them on my channel
La música es tan enterna e increíblemente hermosa, este es un àlbum hermoso, verdaderamente original y brillante...
This reminds me of my teenage days back in the 1910s when I was just chillin on my porch, listening to ragtime jazz on a cloudy Sunday afternoon. It's great to rehear this beautiful genre again this 2020. Brings me back to simpler times. :)))
Is this a joke or for real? If this isn’t a joke that’s amazing! Simpler times... 😄
Back in my teenage days in the 1860s we had no ragtime.
Well back in my day, all we had were the cannons on our ship for music
@@user-cj6pe3vy3b oldest person from 1907 so technically its possible. Scott died 1917 so there are potentially people who’ve witnessed his existence still living which is quite amazing to think about, or better yet Teddy Roosevelt, Bass Reeves the gunman (pretty unlikely tbh lol) or even Babe Ruthe in his prime
You was a teen then and now you commenting on RUclips???😳
Magnificent. Play this from time to time. Love it.
Good dance music thanks
scott joplin's chord progressions continue to influence music even now.
how :DDDD
Certainly the song structure. He basically invented the pop song.
he also used "SYNCOPATION" in his music, that is still used today.
@@mattdad8429 That is an idiotic statement. Popular music had been written for centuries around the world. Even in America, and Stephen Foster and John Phillip Sousa had been writing popular songs decades earlier. SMH
@@gregoryclemen1870 While he didn't invent syncopation, his use of it influenced jazz and other forms of black American music since his time.
As someone born in the early 21st century I must say, why did ragtime have to stop? The best music genre of all time in my opinion, and one that definitely deserves more appreciation. And Scott Joplin's especially, they are the greatest sounds to have ever graced my ears.
Thats what I bee askings. :[
LIKE MMM, Ragtime was such a amazing genre that didn't deserve to die out like it did. Yet at the same time, I suppose it's seemingly short-secret history is one of the things that makes it so special. :>
Ragtime had a full 20 years to be an international craze. But music changes, and ragtime transitioned into jazz, so that worked out pretty well. But continue being a fan and keeping the music alive!
Trueeee I was wishing we could have new ragtime pieces.
New ragtime is still being written. My late husband's rags are being produced right now! Ain't the way it makes you feel just grand!@@mistymoonrose
I was looking for The Entertainer, stumbled on this vault of golden music of Scott Joplin, thank you so much.
Yes, what a find!
Loved the Scott Joplin Festival (Joplin Mo) every year.... From all over the world they come to play -ragtime!!!!
I think I'm going to break the chair I'm sitting on: I'm dancing wildly and smiling endlessly, I've just realised about it. Pure happiness!
Thanks God for Joplin. And thank you for posting it! "like it", of course!
I call listening to this music "the poor person's Disneyland", it's a magical ear-heaven.
fattie
I can't play the piano but my oldest sis can and when I was a boy she would play Joplin all the time. That was over 50 years ago and I love it to this day.
How in the world could anybody down vote this incredible music?
Good question. People can be shallow
I just love old music😍🎶🎵🎹
me too! Ragtime gives me life
This especially. The talent is there!
you extremely annoying
this is pure classical in all its kind must have heard this wayy back on radio 4 in the uk and only recently heard online again just can beat it pure gold dust 👌
Watched the movie "The Sting" with Paul Neuman and Robert Redford when I was 12, I loved it but did not understand it, just watched it last night, wow what a great movie, I highly recommend it, its what brought "The Entertainer" to the general public attention.
I'm looking for a movie to watch tonight I will look it up! Thank you!
And The Entetainer is a hard one to play!
Thank you for putting these songs up‼️ Love them all🤗
Scott Joplin created a sound that is instantly recognisable as well as composing timeless scores that are enjoyed today over a hundred years on. Thank you for posting.
I want to live in a place where Scott Joplin meets Mozart to share musical ideas. Maybe in the next world
What a wonderful iteration that would be. I'd love to here what a pianist/composer could come up with following this theme.
You mean next life
Mozart wasn’t the nicest person. And he wasn’t open to new things very much.
Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure 4?
Actually, you'd get far better results with Joplin and Beethoven. Beethoven was a known improviser. I think he would have loved and appreciated jazz.
He's my favorite ragtime artist!
MIne, too!
He Was a Genius, No Other Word for It
