Scott Joplin was an American composer and pianist renowned as the "King of Ragtime." His pioneering work elevated ragtime from its regional roots to a nationwide phenomenon. Best known for his ragtime piano compositions like "Maple Leaf Rag" and "The Entertainer," Joplin's syncopated rhythms and infectious melodies left an indelible mark on American music. He bridged the gap between classical and popular styles, influencing the development of jazz. Joplin's legacy endures as he remains a key figure in the evolution of musical genres and a champion of African-American musical artistry.
