Show Notes
Scott Joplin, often called the King of Ragtime, transformed American music with compositions that blended African American musical traditions with classical structure. His famous works, including Maple Leaf Rag and The Entertainer, helped popularise ragtime at the turn of the twentieth century and influenced generations of musicians. In this episode of Compact Biographies, we explore the life of the composer who helped shape the sound of modern American music.
