Biography
Scott Joplin (c. 1868 – April 1, 1917) was an African American composer and pianist famous for his ragtime compositions. Born to a working-class family of former slaves in Arkansas, Joplin received piano lessons from local teacher and started his own dance band, singing in a vocal quartet and playing mandolin. Eventually he struck out on his own as an itinerant musician, winding up at the Chicago World's Fair in 1893, where his band helped contribute to the growing craze for ragtime music. He first achieved fame in 1899 when his piano composition Maple Leaf Rag became a smash hit, earning Joplin the title "King of Ragtime." He continued to compose and publish regularly, with his piano rags being reliable hits, and also trying his hand at more ambitious works. Joplin died in 1917 at the age of 48. His music was considered very influential in the development of Jazz, especially the Swing and Stride subgenres. In 1976 he was awarded a posthumous Pulitzer Prize.
