| | RAGTIME : MusicWeb Encyclopaedia of Popular Music |
| | In retrospect ragtime is regarded as solo piano music, but that was only its most highly developed (and most enduring) manifestation; ragtime songs, music for small combos and brass bands, and ragtime waltzes were important, as was banjo music: ragtime may have begun with attempts to imitate the banjo on the keyboard. | | | The term ragtime like the words jazz and rock in later years was applied to music that was merely rhythmic; Irving Berlin was the most famous composer of 'ragtime', but 'Alexander's Ragtime Band' (1911) is probably not ragtime at all. | | | They All Played Ragtime '50 by Rudi Blesh and Harriet Janis was a seminal book, but easily superseded by Ragtime: A Musical And Cultural History '80 by Edward A. Berlin and Ragtime: Its History, Composers And Music '85 ed. |

| | Ragtime shares certain melodic, rhythmic, and thematic characteristics with early jazz, but its melodies and structures are far more syncopated and complex. | | | Pioneered by Scott Joplin (1868–1917) and his contemporaries, ragtime was established in popular culture in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, becoming wildly popular in the United States through distribution on piano rolls for playback on the player pianos that were then a fixture in many American parlors. | | | Berlin, Edward A.

| | 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. | | | Just as with jazz, rock 'n' roll, and rap, there were those who fulminated against the new trend ("The counters of the music stores are loaded with this virulent poison"). | | | New styles are being created: stride piano, and jazz, which will eclipse ragtime as a popular trend. |

| | The ragtime style first appeared in songs with banjo (later piano) accompaniment, but became famous when adapted for solo piano. | | | The genre reflected the higher musical aspirations of the new generation of black musicians seeking to broaden their horizons after emancipation: along with their widespread commercial success, composers of ragtime such as Scott Joplin ultimately hoped that they would create a new black American classical music. | | | The popularity of syncopation in black music of the 1890s is apparent in ragtime, which derives its name from the image of "ragged" rhythmic patterns. |
