Joplin moved to St. Louis in 1901, where he continued to compose and publish music, and regularly performed in the St. Louis community. The score to his first opera A Guest of Honor was confiscated in 1903 with his belongings because of a non-payment of bills, and is now considered lost.uring his brief career, he wrote 44 original ragtime pieces, one ragtime ballet, and two operas. One of his first pieces, the  Maple Leaf Rag , became ragtime's first and most influential hit, and has been recognized as the archetypal rag.
