Ragtime music is performed primarily by pianists and combines a highly syncopated melody line with a rhythmically straight accompaniment. Originating in the American Midwest, ragtime music flourished around the world from about 1897 to 1920, becoming the first internationally accepted variety of popular music and the first African-American music to influence world popular music. Classic ragtime was popularized by composer and pianist Scott Joplin, who was well known by 1900 as the “King of Ragtime.”
