Hello, this is Cortes Martin. I'm doing black history on Scott Joplin. He was a great pianist.There's a lot of people who listen to Scott Joplin music. I would love to listen to his music someday.
He's a great composer of rag-time music. He stills remains the best-knowned rag-time figure. His famous composition was " the Entertainer." Scott joplin was born in eastern Texas 1867. The Scott Joplin family moved to Texarkana,Texas after 1871. His mother cleaned homes so that he could a palce to practice hsi music.
This was a complete rag of Scott Joplin.
Joplin wanted to experiment further with compositions like Treemonisha, but by 1916 he was suffering from the effects of terminal syphilis. He suffered later from dementia, paranoia, paralysis and other symptoms. Despite this, he recorded six piano rolls that year — Maple Leaf Rag (for Connorized and Uni-Record labels), Something Doing, Magnetic Rag, Ole Miss Rag, and Pleasant Moments (all for Connorized). These are the only records of his playing we have, and are interesting for the embellishments added by Joplin to his performances. A surviving copy of the 'Pleasant Moments' roll has not yet been discovered. It has been claimed that the uneven nature of some of Joplin's piano rolls, such as one of the recordings of the Maple Leaf Rag mentioned above, documented the extent of Joplin's physical deterioration due to syphilis. However, the irregularities are just as likely due to the primitive technology used to record the rolls.
