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.
Latin American music, such as the Cuban habanera, also influenced its style. Until the end of WWI, ragtime was played by several different types of bands which include: dance bands, brass bands, country string bands, symphony, orchestras, and the classic ragtime style -solo pianists.
