Snippets of the old style ran through popular songs and jazz tunes, many of which placed “rag” in the title. But Joplin’s syncopated, intricate creations, such as “Sunflower Slow Drag,” “Elite Syncopations,” “The Entertainer,” “The Cascades,” and, of course, “Maple Leaf Rag,” continue to regale us. His music-and ragtime in general-lay dormant through the 1920s and ’30s. Lottie Joplin regretted that decision for the rest of her life. The maestro had requested that his most famous composition, “Maple Leaf Rag,” accompany the service, but his widow deemed such joyful music to be inappropriate. Joplin’s funeral was a quiet affair, with scant notice in the press. The big news of the day was America’s involvement in the Great War, not the passing of a once-popular composer. This year marks the centennial anniversary of ragtime innovator Scott Joplin’s death, on April 1, 1917.
