Ragtime â also spelled rag-time or rag time â is a musical style that enjoyed its peak popularity between 1895 and 1918. Its cardinal trait is its syncopated, or ragged, rhythm. The style has its origins in African-American communities in cities such as St. Louis years before being composed and published as popular sheet music for piano.
Ragtimeâs upbeat style is perfect as a happy and inspiring backdrop for playtime! This collection focuses on ragtime, an American music style from more than 100 years ago, a long time before the invention of CDs and iPods. Back then, sound was recorded into things like wax, resin, paper and metal. The paper recordings were played by machine instruments.
