Links Page Ragtime Music : Ragtime sprung up as a music form towards the end of the 19th century, and this was one of a number of forms which had their roots in this time period. This increasing diversity resulted from the fusion of African and European musical ideas in the Southern States of the U.S. It wasn't so much a deliberate crafting by music scholars, but more the result of experimentation and informal learning by example, often by self-taught musicians who played in streets and bars. This informal folk music became formalised into Ragtime by composers like Harvey and Joplin who played the music to large audiences and published it so that its popularity was able to spread. Ragtime was played usually on a solo piano, an instrument which most honkytonk bars and saloons possessed. The word Ragtime means "syncopated time", the main characteristic of these pieces being the Right Hand playing a syncopated tune while the Left Hand plays a simple regular line of alternating bass notes and simple chords, often called a "two-step" and not unlike the "Alberti Bass" used in classical music by the likes of Mozart and Haydn. Despite the fact that the Right Hand syncopations were far in excess of anything produced in classical music, the structure of these pieces was nevertheless quite strict in a classical sense. They consisted of a number of contrasting 16 bar sections (usually in 2/4 time) with repetitions and returns to previous sections or a "Da Capo" (return to the begining). This structure is very similar to various march or dance forms or the classical Rondo. Towards the end of each section or phrase there might be rising bass lines, changing harmonies or accidentals to give colour and emphasis to the cadences (phrase endings).

3. Ragtime Sheet Music & Books site Many folks have emailed me to ask where they can obtain sheet music of the ragtime pieces which I have sequenced, or recordings of ragtime music. http://www.trachtman.org/ragtime/musicbooks.htm

Download Some Free Ragtime Sheet Music Also, links to Ragtime Audio CDs and Tapes, collections of ragtime sheet music, and books about ragtime, which you can purchase mail-order, are provided below. As an experiment, I am going to provide some FREE downloadable, GIF format, scanned images of sheet music for some ragtime pieces. The available scores will be EXCLUSIVELY LIMITED TO PUBLIC DOMAIN COMPOSITIONS! Please do NOT ask me to include copies of any compositions published more recently than 1922. These GIF files can be printed out on your own printer, from your own computer, once you download and unzip the graphic archive file. The quality of these scanned images produces a very good result when printed using a reasonably good graphic program and printer, with 100dpi resolution or better. One program which works very well for printing the sheet music scans in Windows is a freeware graphics program called IrfanView. However, it is important that you do not use settings in your graphic program which may reduce the image resolution prior to printing the score. For example, some graphic programs have a setting which reduces the image to fit it entirely within the display screen on your CRT. If this setting is enabled, it generally will reduce the quality of the image, and the printed result will be very poor. Let the image on the computer screen spill outside of the viewable area, and fit the image to a single page when printing from the program. You can download IrfanView from the author's website at: http://www.irfanview.com/

Ragtime Ragtime's golden age was between 1899 (with the publication of Scott Joplin's "Maple Leaf Rag") and 1917 (the year he died). More than six thousand rags were published during those eighteen years. You can find on my web site many examples of Joplin's work as well as those of his contemporaries and stylistic progeny. Stride Stride piano (also known as Harlem stride piano) grew out of ragtime music. The energetic and dynamic style was fathered by James P. Johnson who mentored Thomas "Fats" Waller, perhaps the most famous stridemeister of all. The third "father" of stride was Willie "The Lion" Smith.

He moved with his family to Texarkana at the age of about seven. Even at this early age, Joplin demonstrated his extraordinary talent for music. Encouraged by his parents, he was already proficient on the banjo, and was beginning to play the piano. By age eleven and under the tutelage of Julius Weiss, he was learning the finer points of harmony and style. As a teenager, he worked as a dance musician. After several years as an itinerant pianist playing in saloons and brothels throughout the Midwest, he settled in St. Louis about 1890. There he studied and led in the development of a music genre now known as ragtimea unique blend of European classical styles combined with African American harmony and rhythm. In 1893, Joplin played in sporting areas adjacent to the Colombian Exposition in Chicago, and the following year moved to Sedalia, Missouri. From there, he toured with his eight-member Texas Medley Quartette as far east as Syracuse, New York.
