Ragtime From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation , search This is an article about Ragtime music. For other uses of the word "Ragtime" see: Ragtime (disambiguation) . Second edition cover of "Maple Leaf Rag", perhaps the most famous rag of all

Ragtime is an American musical genre enjoying its peak popularity between 1899 and 1918. It has had several periods of revival in popularity and is still being composed today. Ragtime was the first truly American musical genre, preceding jazz . It began as dance music in popular music settings years before being published as popular sheet music for piano. Being a modification of the then popular march , it was usually written in 2/4 or 4/4 time (meter), frequently with a predominant left hand pattern of bass notes on odd-numbered beats and chords on even-numbered beats accompanying a syncopated melody in the right hand. A composition in this style is called a "rag". A rag written in 3/4 time is a "ragtime waltz".

Ragtime is not a "time" ( meter ) in the same sense that march time is 2/4 meter and waltz time is 3/4 meter, but rather it uses an effect that can be applied to music in any meter.

This results in a melody that seems to be avoiding some metrical beats of the accompaniment by emphasizing notes that either anticipate or follow the beat. The ultimate (and intended) effect on the listener is actually to accentuate the beat, tby inducing the listener to move to the music. Scott Joplin , the composer/pianist known as the "King of Ragtime", called the effect "weird and intoxicating". He also used the term "swing" in describing how to play ragtime music: "Play slowly until you catch the swing ...". (Joplin, School of Ragtime , 1908). The name swing later came to be applied to an early genre of jazz that developed from ragtime. Converting a non-ragtime piece of music into ragtime by changing the time values of melody ...
