*Famous Jazz Rag.*

1. The Entertainer

Scott Joplin (November 24, 1868 – April 1, 1917) was an American composer and pianist. Dubbed the "King of Ragtime he composed more than 40 ragtime pieces, one ragtime ballet, and two operas. Joplin considered ragtime to be a form of classical music meant to be played in concert halls and largely disdained the performance of ragtime as honky tonk music most common in saloons.
