Scott Joplin (c.1867-1917) is known as the King of Ragtime.. One of the earliest African-American composers to have his works published, Joplin brought a classical sensibility to ragtime, which had served as music for popular entertainment rather than as art music.Although he is best known for his piano rags, he also wrote several songs and the opera Treemonisha.ne of the earliest African-American composers to have his works published, Joplin brought a classical sensibility to ragtime, which had served as music for popular entertainment rather than as art music.

Scott Joplin, the composer, spent only a few years of his life in Sedalia before he moved on to St. Louis and New York. The music publisher met Joplin only by chance; one story has it that he liked the music he heard one day when he stopped off for a beer. It was in all ways an unlikely combination. And yet it happened-with the result that later this month, Sedalia, Missouri, will be throwing a party to celebrate the 100th anniversary of its most famous export: Scott Joplin's Maple Leaf Rag. Joplin wasn't the only composer of ragtime in the 1890s, or even the first one. The new music, which blended march tempos, minstrel-show songs, and the ragged or syncopated rhythms, was percolating throughout the Midwest wherever African-American musicians gathered.
