Wikipedia:
Scott Joplin was an American composer and pianist. Joplin achieved fame for his ragtime compositions and was dubbed the King of Ragtime. During his brief career, he wrote 44 original ragtime pieces, one ragtime ballet, and two operas. One of his first and most popular pieces, the "Maple Leaf Rag", became ragtime's first and most influential hit, and has been recognized as the archetypal rag.
Joplin grew up in a musical family of railway laborers in Texarkana, Arkansas, and developed his own musical knowledge with the help of local teachers. While in Texarkana, Texas, he formed a vocal quartet and taught mandolin and guitar. During the late 1880s he left his job as a railroad laborer and travelled the American South as an itinerant musician. 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. He began publishing music in 1895, and publication of his "Maple Leaf Rag" in 1899 brought him fame. This piece had a profound influence on writers of ragtime. It also brought Joplin a steady income for life, though he did not reach this level of success again and frequently had financial problems. In 1901 Joplin moved to St. Louis, where he continued to compose and publish, and regularly performed in the community. The score to his first opera A Guest of Honor was confiscated in 1903 with his belongings for non-payment of bills, and is now considered lost.
In 1907, Joplin moved to New York City to find a producer for a new opera. He attempted to go beyond the limitations of the musical form that made him famous, but without much monetary success. His second opera, Treemonisha, was never fully staged during his lifetime.
In 1916, Joplin descended into dementia as a result of syphilis. He was admitted to a mental institution in January 1917, and died there three months later at the age of 48. Joplin's death is widely considered to mark the end of ragtime as a mainstream music format; over the next several years, it evolved with other styles into stride, jazz, and eventually big band swing.
Joplin's music was rediscovered and returned to popularity in the early 1970s with the release of a million-selling album recorded by Joshua Rifkin. This was followed by the Academy Award-winning 1973 film The Sting that featured several of Joplin's compositions, most notably "The Entertainer", whose performance by pianist Marvin Hamlisch received wide airplay. Treemonisha was finally produced in full, to wide acclaim, in 1972. In 1976, Joplin was posthumously awarded a Pulitzer Prize.

It was the very last rag published by Joplin that survives to this day. He made numerous pieces after this that are now lost such as,
Pretty Pansy Rag (1915)
Morning Glories (1915 song)
Syncopated Jamboree (1915 vaudeville act)
Recitative Rag (1915)
For The Sake of All (1915/16 possibly a religious hymn)
If (1915 musical Comedy)
Lost Joplin Fragment (song from 1915/16)
Symphony no.1 in Ragtime (1916)
Piano Concerto no.1 in Ragtime (1917)
And allegedly many more.
How about the reflection rag that is lastly recovered?
@@FilipinoFurry actually, Reflection Rag came into existence after numerous unfinished manuscripts where recovered by John Stark and transformed into a piece. The manuscripts date from as early as 1902, to a recent ad 1917. But most of the manuscripts are from roughly 1914 or so, which explains why Reflection rags shares some resemblance to Magnetic Rag.
@@SQUAREHEADSAM1912 ah, thanks for the info
I'm so curious as to what the piano concerto would sound like. Unfortunate
@@blyntzbugg yeah. Though there is a chance that they may still exist, somewhere. But only (rag)time will tell.
A cheerful joplin masterpiece Has a tiny hint of melancholy joplins pieces always seem to reflect a spirit of joy showing solace and hope even during times of despair through music truly amazing!
Is there a mistake in the video at 3:00? The audio sounds correct but I think there should be a 2 b flat not 1 b flat and 1 b natural.
We lost so much invaluable work from S. Joplin… it is heartbreaking when we know how good is his last published ragtime.
This is my 3rd favourite Joplin piece and while I did enjoy this very much, when I play this I personally prefer a slightly slower tempo, which means the appoggiaturas are emphasised a bit more and make the piece a bit more melodic, and to play more legato, giving it a more melancholy feel. The final 8 bars also sound a bit rushed at this tempo and the piece ends quite abruptly, a rallentando might be more fitting.
Thank you for this🙏🙏
Thanks! I was waiting 😂
Love 0:08 that intro
Nice
No matter how many times i listen to this BANGER i cannot imagine anyone being dumb enough to try holding a joplin copy of this song toward a actual magnetic and thinking it would attract oh and btw @itsremco remember the 2nd comment i metioned in your INCREDIBLE rendition of the BANGER paragon rag once i get over to my grandmothers house (i switch between both guardian grandmothers houses one of which my daddy lives) i will comment on her account and tell you that that account and this are both me:)
One of my favorites
I love it, love it, love it. We are all indebted to Scott Joplin for this priceless gift that he has given us.
I can't decide whether my favorite is the _Magnetic Rag_ or _Scott Joplin's New Rag._ Both are impossibly beautiful.
I actually like this rendering of the Magnetic more than 95% of the others on TH-cam, despite this being computer-generated! _Thank you for posting and please give us MORE!_
Thanks for the comment! 😁 I try to have the visuals and especially the sound of the *highest* quality
The sound is good, but the piece is played entirely too fast.
@@mikeymutual5489For my taste, Joshua Rifkin can (almost) do no wrong. I prefer his somewhat slower tempo and sensitive interpretation.
@@mikeymutual5489 I personally don't like when ragtime is played too slow, this tempo is just right for this piece I think.
@@OmniversalInsect Ragtime is *rarely* played too slow, at least in any TH-cam videos. Besides sounding mechanical (like it is from a piano roll), this quick version cheapens the lovely sounds in this piece. Listen to the Joshua Rifkin version mentioned above for a proper version of this.
This song tells a story.
Nice! I wonder about the piano roll version
Great tutorial, thanks I love playing Scott Joplin pieces!
GREAT!!
I've made some new videos if you're interested.
Recently I've been playing around with making random characters sing the most random of things. At the moment my obsession is SpongeBob SquarePants. I've only made 4 videos so far on that.
It's mostly jazz and blues from Cab Calloway. You'll surely like it.
Im interested
What piano soundfont is this? It sounds really nice
I can't tell now what I exactly do/use but what I can tell you is that I don't use soundfonts. I use a Piano VST. Those are way better than soundfonts
