Scott Joplin earned the title "Father of Ragtime" due to his pivotal role in popularizing the genre in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His compositions, particularly "Maple Leaf Rag," showcased the syncopated rhythms and lively melodies that defined ragtime music. Joplin's innovative blending of African American musical traditions with classical elements helped elevate ragtime to mainstream popularity, influencing countless musicians and paving the way for future genres like jazz. His dedication to the craft and his efforts to formalize ragtime through written music solidified his legacy as a foundational figure in American music history.
The father's name was Jiles Joplin and the mother's name was Florence Joplin.
Ragtime music originated from African-American communities in the late 19th century, descending from the jigs and march music played by black bands. It began as dance music in the red-light districts in cities such as St Louis and New Orleans, before becoming a popular music genre published as sheet music for piano. An example of popular ragtime music is the 1899 publication of the song 'Maple Leaf Rag' by ragtime composer Scott Joplin.
