Later in 1899, Scott Joplin, an American pianist and composer, released âMaple Leaf Rag,â which turned out to be one of the most influential pieces of the era. His beloved hit brought a bit of sophistication to the ragged rhythm and became memorable; however, that was not to be his only great contribution to music. The well-known King of Ragtime composed 44 ragtime jazz pieces, 2 operas and 1 ballet.
He went to Chicago for the World's Fair of 1893, which played a major part in making ragtime a national craze by 1897. Joplin moved to Sedalia, Missouri, in 1894 and earned a living as a piano teacher; there he taught future ragtime composers Arthur Marshall, Scott Hayden and Brun Campbell. Joplin began publishing music in 1895, and publication of his Maple Leaf Rag in 1899 brought him fame.
