At the turn of the twentieth century, Scott Joplin struggled on the
margins of society to play a pivotal role in the creation of
ragtime music. His brief life and tragic death encompassed a
tumultuous time that signaled the arrival of modern music, culture,
and technology. This biography follows Joplin's life from the
brothels and bars of St. Louis to the music mills of Tin Pan Alley
as he introduced a syncopated, lively style to classical piano.
Joplin's effect on popular music is closely identified with his era
and the role of African Americans on the music scene of the United
States.
