Did Scott Joplin improve ragtime music?

by Jose Leal

I think that Scott Joplin improved ragtime by turning it from an improvised style to written piano music because before it was transformed this type of music was seen as low quality or low class. Once it was turned into something more it was seen and treated with respect. Scott Joplin had done a different style with more cohesive sound rather than a repetitive sound. If he hadnt created sheet music this music of the ragtime era could have been lost. He was very particular about how to play ragtime music and explained why it wasnt right to play it in certain ways. It was argued that whether or not Scott Joplin damaged ragtime music or if he transformed it and turned into something more, because of him it was able to be preserved. Its now treated with respect rather than being turned down or looked down upon. He was able to make ragtime music and turn it into something classical. Scott doing what he did was able to keep this music documented and alive, because of this its able to be used many years later and can be played the same because of his sheet notes. If he hadn’t created this sheet notes it could have been lost to history and may have never been heard or played again. While its argued whether or not if he improved ragtime. I think that what he did changed it in a good way and if he hadn’t nobody would have known what ragtime was today. Overall he did change ragtime music for the better and not only improved it but saved it. The people may argue about the history but they cant aruge about the importance that Scott Joplin did to save it unknowingly.

• Do you think that Scott Joplin improved or damaged ragtime by turning it from an improvised style to a written piano music?

I wouldn’t necessarily say that Scott Joplin improved ragtime by writing his tunes down, but I would say that he improved American music as a whole by writing his tunes down. There have always been and will always be elitists and gatekeepers within musical traditions and genres that don’t want their traditions to change. However, it can be these breaks in tradition that push the medium forward.

Traditionally, ragtime was a style of playing that was almost entirely improvised. Musicians would learn ragtime playing from other musicians performing together on boats going up and down the Mississippi River. Players would improvised different strains of popular melodies and put their own flourishes and styling into it. It had a spontaneous quality that mystified listeners.

Once it was written down, it lost it’s improvised and unpredictable spark, but it gave everyone who bought the sheet music the ability to crack the code of what ragtime was. People at home could play basic ragtime tunes from the comfort of their homes. It allowed for many more performances of the ragtime music, even if it was a little more rigid, structured, amd watered down. This allowed for more people to hear and be influenced by the music and America got to produce one of it’s first truly American art forms. This pushed further into jazz, rock and roll, hip hop, and more.
