<P>Joplin was born into a musical family of railway laborers in <A href="/wiki/Northeast_Texas" title="Northeast Texas">Northeast Texas</A>, and developed his musical knowledge with the help of local teachers. Joplin grew up in <A href="/wiki/Texarkana,_Texas" title="Texarkana, Texas">Texarkana</A>, where he formed a vocal quartet, and taught mandolin and guitar. During the late 1880s he left his job as a laborer with the railroad, and travelled around the <A href="/wiki/Southern_United_States" title="Southern United States">American South</A> as an itinerant musician. He went to Chicago for the <A href="/wiki/World%27s_Columbian_Exposition" title="World's Columbian Exposition">World's Fair</A> of 1893, which played a major part in making ragtime a national craze by 1897.</P>
<P>Joplin moved to <A href="/wiki/Sedalia,_Missouri" title="Sedalia, Missouri">Sedalia, Missouri</A>, in 1894 and earned a living as a piano teacher; there he taught future ragtime composers <A href="/wiki/Arthur_Marshall_(composer)" title="Arthur Marshall (composer)">Arthur Marshall</A>, <A href="/wiki/Scott_Hayden" title="Scott Hayden">Scott Hayden</A> and <A href="/wiki/Brun_Campbell" title="Brun Campbell">Brun Campbell</A>. Joplin began publishing music in 1895, and publication of his "Maple Leaf Rag" in 1899 brought him fame. This piece had a profound influence on subsequent writers of ragtime. It also brought the composer a steady income for life, though Joplin did not reach this level of success again and frequently had financial problems. In 1901 Joplin moved to <A href="/wiki/St._Louis" title="St. Louis">St. Louis</A>, where he continued to compose and publish music, and regularly performed in the St. Louis community. The score to his first opera <I><A href="/wiki/A_Guest_of_Honor_(opera)" title="A Guest of Honor (opera)">A Guest of Honor</A></I> was confiscated in 1903 with his belongings because of a non-payment of bills, and is now considered lost.<SUP id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-4">[4]</A></SUP> He continued to compose and publish music, and in 1907 moved to New York City to find a producer for a new opera. He attempted to go beyond the limitations of the musical form that made him famous, without much monetary success. His second opera, <I><A href="/wiki/Treemonisha" title="Treemonisha">Treemonisha</A></I>, was not received well at its partially staged performance in 1915.</P>
<P>In 1916, Joplin descended into <A href="/wiki/Dementia" title="Dementia">dementia</A> as a result of <A href="/wiki/Syphilis" title="Syphilis">syphilis</A>. He was admitted to a mental institution in January 1917, and died there three months later at the age of 49. Joplin's death is widely considered to mark the end of ragtime as a mainstream music format, and in the next several years it evolved with other styles into <A href="/wiki/Stride_(music)" title="Stride (music)">stride</A>, <A href="/wiki/Jazz" title="Jazz">jazz</A>, and eventually big band <A href="/wiki/Swing_music" title="Swing music">swing</A>. His music was rediscovered and returned to popularity in the early 1970s with the release of a million-selling album recorded by <A href="/wiki/Joshua_Rifkin" title="Joshua Rifkin">Joshua Rifkin</A>. This was followed by the Academy Award–winning 1973 movie <I><A href="/wiki/The_Sting" title="The Sting">The Sting</A></I> that featured several of his compositions including "<A href="/wiki/The_Entertainer_(rag)" title="The Entertainer (rag)">The Entertainer</A>". The opera <I>Treemonisha</I> was finally produced in full to wide acclaim in 1972. In 1976, Joplin was posthumously awarded a <A href="/wiki/Pulitzer_Prize" title="Pulitzer Prize">Pulitzer Prize</A>.</P>

<P>According to author Edward A. Berlin, "One tenacious myth tells us that Joplin was born in Texarkana, Texas, on November 24, 1868. The location is easily dispensed with: Texarkana was not established until 1873." But, based on a letter discovered by musicologist John Tennison in 2015 in the December 19, 1856 edition of the <I>Times-Picayune,</I> it is clear that Texarkana was established as a place-name at least as early as 1856. Consequently, it appears possible that Joplin, born 12 years later, could have been born in Texarkana. Despite evidence to support such a conclusion, some insist that Joplin was born in <A href="/wiki/Linden,_Texas" title="Linden, Texas">Linden, Texas</A>, either in late 1867 or early 1868.<SUP id="cite_ref-birthdate_5-0" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-birthdate-5">[5]</A></SUP> He was the second of six children (the others being Monroe, Robert, William, Myrtle, and Ossie)<SUP id="cite_ref-jasen_6-0" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-jasen-6">[6]</A></SUP> born to Giles Joplin, an ex-slave from <A href="/wiki/North_Carolina" title="North Carolina">North Carolina</A>, and Florence Givens, a freeborn African-American woman from <A href="/wiki/Kentucky" title="Kentucky">Kentucky</A>.<SUP id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-7">[7]</A></SUP><SUP id="cite_ref-LindenBirthplace_8-0" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-LindenBirthplace-8">[8]</A></SUP><SUP id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-9">[9]</A></SUP></P>
<P>The Joplins subsequently moved to Texarkana where Giles worked as a laborer for the railroad and Florence was a cleaner. Joplin's father had played the <A href="/wiki/Violin" title="Violin">violin</A> for plantation parties in North Carolina, and his mother sang and played the <A href="/wiki/Banjo" title="Banjo">banjo</A>.<SUP id="cite_ref-jasen_6-1" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-jasen-6">[6]</A></SUP> Joplin was given a rudimentary musical education by his family and from the age of seven, he was allowed to play the piano while his mother cleaned.<SUP id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-10">[10]</A></SUP></P>
<P>At some point in the early 1880s, Giles Joplin left the family for another woman. His wife Florence struggled to support her children through domestic work. Biographer Susan Curtis speculated that the mother's support of Joplin's musical education was critical to the parents' separation. Joplin's father wanted the boy to pursue practical employment that would supplement the family income.<SUP id="cite_ref-Curtis38_11-0" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-Curtis38-11">[11]</A></SUP></P>
<P>According to a family friend, the young Joplin was serious and ambitious, studying music and playing the piano after school. While a few local teachers aided him, he received most of his music education from <A href="/wiki/Julius_Weiss" title="Julius Weiss">Julius Weiss</A>, a <A href="/wiki/Germany" title="Germany">German</A>-born music professor who had immigrated to Texas in the late 1860s and was employed as music tutor to a prominent local business family.<SUP id="cite_ref-Albrecht_12-0" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-Albrecht-12">[12]</A></SUP> Weiss had studied music at university in Germany and was listed in town records as a <I>Professor of music.</I> Impressed by Joplin's talent, and realizing his family's dire straits, Weiss taught him free of charge. He tutored the 11-year-old Joplin until the boy was 16, during which time Weiss introduced him to <A href="/wiki/Folk_music" title="Folk music">folk</A> and classical music, including opera. Weiss helped Joplin appreciate music as an "art as well as an entertainment,"<SUP id="cite_ref-Berlin7-8_13-0" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-Berlin7-8-13">[13]</A></SUP> and helped his mother acquire a used piano. According to Weiss' wife, Lottie, Joplin never forgot Weiss. In his later years, after achieving fame as a composer, Joplin sent his former teacher "...gifts of money when he was old and ill," until Weiss died.<SUP id="cite_ref-Albrecht_12-1" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-Albrecht-12">[12]</A></SUP> At the age of 16, Joplin performed in a vocal quartet with three other boys in and around Texarkana, also playing piano. In addition he taught guitar and mandolin.<SUP id="cite_ref-Berlin7-8_13-1" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-Berlin7-8-13">[13]</A></SUP></P>

<P>In the late 1880s, having performed at various local events as a teenager, Joplin chose to give up work as a laborer with the railroad and left Texarkana to become a traveling musician.<SUP id="cite_ref-14" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-14">[14]</A></SUP> Little is known about his movements at this time, although he is recorded in Texarkana in July 1891 as a member of the Texarkana Minstrels in a performance that happened to be raising money for a monument to <A href="/wiki/Jefferson_Davis" title="Jefferson Davis">Jefferson Davis</A>, President of the Southern Confederacy.<SUP id="cite_ref-15" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-15">[15]</A></SUP> He soon discovered, however, that there were few opportunities for black pianists. Churches and <A href="/wiki/Brothels" class="mw-redirect" title="Brothels">brothels</A> were among the few options for steady work. Joplin played pre-ragtime 'jig-piano' in various <A href="/wiki/Red-light_districts" class="mw-redirect" title="Red-light districts">red-light districts</A> throughout the mid-South, and some claim he was in Sedalia and St. Louis during this time.<SUP id="cite_ref-Kirk_2001_p._190_16-0" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-Kirk_2001_p._190-16">[16]</A></SUP><SUP id="cite_ref-17" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-17">[17]</A></SUP></P>
<P>In 1893 Joplin was in Chicago for the <A href="/wiki/Columbian_Exposition" class="mw-redirect" title="Columbian Exposition">World's Fair</A>. While in Chicago, he formed his first band playing <A href="/wiki/Cornet" title="Cornet">cornet</A> and began arranging music for the group to perform. Although the World's Fair minimized the involvement of African-Americans, black performers still came to the saloons, cafés and brothels that lined the fair. The exposition was attended by 27 million Americans and had a profound effect on many areas of American cultural life, including ragtime. Although specific information is sparse, numerous sources have credited the Chicago World Fair with spreading the popularity of ragtime.<SUP id="cite_ref-18" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-18">[18]</A></SUP> Joplin found that his music, as well as that of other black performers, was popular with visitors.<SUP id="cite_ref-19" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-19">[19]</A></SUP> By 1897 ragtime had become a national craze in American cities, and was described by the <I>St. Louis Dispatch</I> as "...a veritable call of the wild, which mightily stirred the pulses of city bred people."<SUP id="cite_ref-20" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-20">[20]</A></SUP></P>

<P>There is little precise evidence known about Joplin's activities at this time, although he performed as a solo musician at dances and at the major black clubs in Sedalia, the Black 400 club and the Maple Leaf Club. He performed in the Queen City Cornet Band, and his own six-piece dance orchestra. A tour with his own singing group, the Texas Medley Quartet, gave him his first opportunity to publish his own compositions and it is known that he went to <A href="/wiki/Syracuse,_New_York" title="Syracuse, New York">Syracuse, New York</A> and Texas. Two businessmen from New York published Joplin's first two works, the songs "Please Say You Will", and "A Picture of her Face" in 1895.<SUP id="cite_ref-26" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-26">[26]</A></SUP> Joplin's visit to <A href="/wiki/Temple,_Texas" title="Temple, Texas">Temple, Texas</A> enabled him to have three pieces published there in 1896, including the <A href="/wiki/Crush,_Texas#Scott_Joplin.27s_.22Great_Crush_Collision_March.22" title="Crush, Texas">"Great Crush Collision March"</A>, which commemorated a <A href="/wiki/Crush,_Texas" title="Crush, Texas">planned train crash</A> on the <A href="/wiki/Missouri%E2%80%93Kansas%E2%80%93Texas_Railroad" title="Missouri–Kansas–Texas Railroad">Missouri–Kansas–Texas Railroad</A> on September 15 that he may have witnessed. The March was described by one of Joplin's biographers as a "special... early essay in ragtime."<SUP id="cite_ref-27" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-27">[27]</A></SUP> While in Sedalia he was teaching piano to students who included future ragtime composers <A href="/wiki/Arthur_Marshall_(composer)" title="Arthur Marshall (composer)">Arthur Marshall</A>, <A href="/wiki/Brun_Campbell" title="Brun Campbell">Brun Campbell</A>, and <A href="/wiki/Scott_Hayden" title="Scott Hayden">Scott Hayden</A>.<SUP id="cite_ref-Scott37_28-0" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-Scott37-28">[28]</A></SUP> In turn, Joplin enrolled at the <A href="/wiki/George_R._Smith_College" title="George R.

Berlin notes that it was unlikely that a small college for African-Americans would be able to provide such a course.<SUP id="cite_ref-30" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-30">[30]</A></SUP><SUP id="cite_ref-31" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-31">[31]</A></SUP><SUP id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEEdwards2008_3-1" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEEdwards2008-3">[3]</A></SUP></P>
<P>In 1899, Joplin married Belle, the sister-in-law of collaborator <A href="/wiki/Scott_Hayden" title="Scott Hayden">Scott Hayden</A>. Although there were hundreds of rags in print by the time the "Maple Leaf Rag" was published, Joplin was not far behind. His first published rag, "<A href="/wiki/Original_Rags" title="Original Rags">Original Rags</A>", had been completed in 1897, the same year as the first ragtime work in print, the "Mississippi Rag" by <A href="/wiki/William_Krell" title="William Krell">William Krell</A>. The "Maple Leaf Rag" was likely to have been known in Sedalia before its publication in 1899; Brun Campbell claimed to have seen the manuscript of the work in around 1898.<SUP id="cite_ref-32" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-32">[32]</A></SUP> The exact circumstances that led to the Maple Leaf Rag's publication are unknown, and a number of versions of the event contradict each other. After several unsuccessful approaches to publishers, Joplin signed a contract on August 10, 1899 with <A href="/wiki/John_Stillwell_Stark" title="John Stillwell Stark">John Stillwell Stark</A>, a retailer of musical instruments who later became his most important publisher. The contract stipulated that Joplin would receive a 1% royalty on all sales of the rag, with a minimum sales price of 25 cents.<SUP id="cite_ref-33" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-33">[33]</A></SUP> With the inscription "To the Maple Leaf Club" prominently visible along the top of at least some editions, it is likely that the rag was named after the Maple Leaf Club, although there is no direct evidence to prove the link, and there were many other possible sources for the name in and around Sedalia at the time.<SUP id="cite_ref-34" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-34">[34]</A></SUP></P>

<P>There have been many claims about the sales of the "Maple Leaf Rag", for example that Joplin was the first musician to sell 1 million copies of a piece of instrumental music.<SUP id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEEdwards2008_3-2" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEEdwards2008-3">[3]</A></SUP> Joplin's first biographer, <A href="/wiki/Rudi_Blesh" title="Rudi Blesh">Rudi Blesh</A> wrote that during its first six months the piece sold 75,000 copies, and became "...the first great instrumental sheet music hit in America."<SUP id="cite_ref-35" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-35">[35]</A></SUP> However, research by Joplin's later biographer Edward A. Berlin demonstrated that this was not the case; the initial print-run of 400 took one year to sell, and under the terms of Joplin's contract with a 1% royalty would have given Joplin an income of $4 (or approximately $115 at current prices). Later sales were steady, and would have given Joplin an income that would have covered his expenses. In 1909, estimated sales would have given him an income of $600 annually (approximately $15,993 in current prices).<SUP id="cite_ref-36" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-36">[36]</A></SUP></P>
<P>The "Maple Leaf Rag" did serve as a model for the hundreds of rags to come from future composers, especially in the development of classic ragtime.<SUP id="cite_ref-Blesh_1981_p.xxiii_37-0" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-Blesh_1981_p.xxiii-37">[37]</A></SUP> After the publication of the "Maple Leaf Rag", Joplin was soon being described as "King of rag time writers", not least by himself<SUP id="cite_ref-38" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-38">[38]</A></SUP> on the covers of his own work, such as "<A href="/wiki/The_Easy_Winners" title="The Easy Winners">The Easy Winners</A>" and "<A href="/wiki/Elite_Syncopations" title="Elite Syncopations">Elite Syncopations</A>".</P>
<P>After the Joplins moved to <A href="/wiki/St._Louis" title="St. Louis">St. Louis</A> in early 1900, they had a baby daughter who died only a few months after birth. Joplin's relationship with his wife was difficult, as she had no interest in music. They eventually separated and then divorced.<SUP id="cite_ref-Ryerson_39-0" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-Ryerson-39">[39]</A></SUP> About this time, Joplin collaborated with Scott Hayden in the composition of four rags.<SUP id="cite_ref-Jasen88_40-0" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-Jasen88-40">[40]</A></SUP> It was in St. Louis that Joplin produced some of his best-known works, including "<A href="/wiki/The_Entertainer_(rag)" title="The Entertainer (rag)">The Entertainer</A>", "March Majestic", and the short theatrical work "<A href="/wiki/The_Ragtime_Dance" title="The Ragtime Dance">The Ragtime Dance</A>".</P>
<P>In June 1904, Joplin married Freddie Alexander of <A href="/wiki/Little_Rock,_Arkansas" title="Little Rock, Arkansas">Little Rock, Arkansas</A>, the young woman to whom he had dedicated "The Chrysanthemum". She died on September 10, 1904, of complications resulting from a cold, ten weeks after their wedding.<SUP id="cite_ref-41" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-41">[41]</A></SUP> Joplin's first work copyrighted after Freddie's death, "<A href="/wiki/Bethena" title="Bethena">Bethena</A>", was described by one biographer as "...an enchantingly beautiful piece that is among the greatest of ragtime <A href="/wiki/Waltz" title="Waltz">waltzes</A>."<SUP id="cite_ref-42" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-42">[42]</A></SUP></P>
<P>During this time, Joplin created an opera company of 30 people and produced his first opera <I><A href="/wiki/A_Guest_of_Honor_(opera)" title="A Guest of Honor (opera)">A Guest of Honor</A></I> for a national tour. It is not certain how many productions were staged, or even if this was an all-black show or a racially mixed production.

Joplin could not meet the company's payroll or pay for its lodgings at a theatrical boarding house. It is believed that the score for <I>A Guest of Honor</I> was lost and perhaps destroyed because of non-payment of the company's boarding house bill.<SUP id="cite_ref-43" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-43">[43]</A></SUP></P>

<P>In 1907, Joplin moved to New York City, which he believed was the best place to find a producer for a new opera.

In 1915, as a last-ditch effort to see it performed, he invited a small audience to hear it at a rehearsal hall in <A href="/wiki/Harlem" title="Harlem">Harlem</A>. Poorly staged and with only Joplin on piano accompaniment, it was "a miserable failure" to a public not ready for "crude" black musical forms—so different from the European <A href="/wiki/Grand_opera" title="Grand opera">grand opera</A> of that time.<SUP id="cite_ref-Kirk191_44-0" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-Kirk191-44">[44]</A></SUP> The audience, including potential backers, was indifferent and walked out.<SUP id="cite_ref-Ryerson_39-1" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-Ryerson-39">[39]</A></SUP> Scott writes that "after a disastrous single performance ... Joplin suffered a breakdown. He was bankrupt, discouraged, and worn out." He concludes that few American artists of his generation faced such obstacles: "<I>Treemonisha</I> went unnoticed and unreviewed, largely because Joplin had abandoned commercial music in favor of art music, a field closed to African Americans."<SUP id="cite_ref-Scott37_28-1" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-Scott37-28">[28]</A></SUP> In fact, it was not until the 1970s that the opera received a full theatrical staging.</P>
<P>In 1914, Joplin and Lottie self-published his "<A href="/wiki/Magnetic_Rag" title="Magnetic Rag">Magnetic Rag</A>" as the Scott Joplin Music Company, which he had formed the previous December.<SUP id="cite_ref-45" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-45">[45]</A></SUP> Biographer Vera Brodsky Lawrence speculates that Joplin was aware of his advancing deterioration due to <A href="/wiki/Syphilis" title="Syphilis">syphilis</A> and was "...consciously racing against time."

<P>The combination of classical music, the musical atmosphere present around Texarkana (including work songs, gospel hymns, spirituals and dance music) and Joplin's natural ability have been cited as contributing significantly to the invention of a new style that blended African-American musical styles with European forms and melodies, and first became celebrated in the 1890s: <A href="/wiki/Ragtime" title="Ragtime">ragtime</A>.<SUP id="cite_ref-Curtis38_11-1" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-Curtis38-11">[11]</A></SUP></P>

<P>The opera's setting is a former slave community in an isolated forest near Joplin's childhood town Texarkana in September 1884. The plot centers on an 18-year-old woman Treemonisha who is taught to read by a white woman, and then leads her community against the influence of conjurers who prey on ignorance and superstition. Treemonisha is abducted and is about to be thrown into a wasps' nest when her friend Remus rescues her. The community realizes the value of education and the liability of their ignorance before choosing her as their teacher and leader.<SUP id="cite_ref-58" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-58">[58]</A></SUP><SUP id="cite_ref-Crawford_59-0" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-Crawford-59">[59]</A></SUP><SUP id="cite_ref-Christensen444_60-0" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-Christensen444-60">[60]</A></SUP></P>
<P>Joplin wrote both the score and the <A href="/wiki/Libretto" title="Libretto">libretto</A> for the opera, which largely follows the form of European opera with many conventional arias, ensembles and choruses. In addition the themes of superstition and mysticism evident in <I>Treemonisha</I> are common in the operatic tradition, and certain aspects of the plot echo devices in the work of the German composer <A href="/wiki/Richard_Wagner" title="Richard Wagner">Richard Wagner</A> (of which Joplin was aware). A sacred tree Treemonisha sits beneath recalls the tree that Siegmund takes his enchanted sword from in <I><A href="/wiki/Die_Walk%C3%BCre" title="Die Walküre">Die Walküre</A></I>, and the retelling of the heroine's origins echos aspects of the opera <I><A href="/wiki/Siegfried_(opera)" title="Siegfried (opera)">Siegfried</A></I>. In addition, African-American folk tales also influence the story—the wasp nest incident is similar to the story of <A href="/wiki/Br%27er_Rabbit" title="Br'er Rabbit">Br'er Rabbit</A> and the briar patch.<SUP id="cite_ref-61" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-61">[61]</A></SUP></P>
<P><I>Treemonisha</I> is not a ragtime opera—because Joplin employed the styles of ragtime and other black music sparingly, using them to convey "racial character," and to celebrate the music of his childhood at the end of the 19th century. The opera has been seen as a valuable record of rural black music from late 19th century re-created by a "skilled and sensitive participant."<SUP id="cite_ref-62" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-62">[62]</A></SUP></P>
<P>Berlin speculates about parallels between the plot and Joplin's own life. He notes that Lottie Joplin (the composer's third wife) saw a connection between the character Treemonisha's wish to lead her people out of ignorance, and a similar desire in the composer. In addition, it has been speculated that Treemonisha represents Freddie, Joplin's second wife, because the date of the opera's setting was likely to have been the month of her birth.<SUP id="cite_ref-63" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-63">[63]</A></SUP></P>
<P>At the time of the opera's publication in 1911, the <I>American Musician and Art Journal</I> praised it as, "...an entirely new form of operatic art."<SUP id="cite_ref-64" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-64">[64]</A></SUP> Later critics have also praised the opera as occupying a special place in American history, with its heroine, "...a startlingly early voice for modern civil rights causes, notably the importance of education and knowledge to African American advancement."<SUP id="cite_ref-65" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-65">[65]</A></SUP> Curtis's conclusion is similar: "In the end, <I>Treemonisha</I> offered a celebration of literacy, learning, hard work, and community solidarity as the best formula for advancing the race."<SUP id="cite_ref-Christensen444_60-1" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-Christensen444-60">[60]</A></SUP> Berlin describes it as a "...fine opera, certainly more interesting than most operas then being written in the United States," but later states that Joplin's own libretto showed the composer, "...was not a competent dramatist," with the book not up to the quality of the music.<SUP id="cite_ref-66" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-66">[66]</A></SUP></P>
<P>As Rick Benjamin, the founder and director of the Paragon Ragtime Orchestra, found out, Joplin succeeded in performing <I>Treemonisha</I> for paying audiences in <A href="/wiki/Bayonne,_New_Jersey" title="Bayonne, New Jersey">Bayonne, New Jersey</A>, in 1913.<SUP id="cite_ref-67" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-67">[67]</A></SUP> On 6 December 2011, the centenary of the Joplin piano score's publication, <A href="/wiki/New_World_Records" title="New World Records">New World Records</A> released an entirely new recording of <I>Treemonisha</I>.

<P>Joplin and his fellow ragtime composers rejuvenated American popular music, fostering an appreciation for African-American music among European-Americans by creating exhilarating and liberating dance tunes.

<P>Composer and actor <A href="/wiki/Max_Morath" title="Max Morath">Max Morath</A> found it striking that the vast majority of Joplin's work did not enjoy the popularity of the "Maple Leaf Rag", because while the compositions were of increasing lyrical beauty and delicate syncopation they remained obscure and unheralded during his lifetime.<SUP id="cite_ref-Morath33_57-1" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-Morath33-57">[57]</A></SUP> Joplin apparently realized that his music was ahead of its time: As music historian Ian Whitcomb mentions that Joplin, "...opined that "Maple Leaf Rag" would make him 'King of Ragtime Composers' but he also knew that he would not be a pop hero in his own lifetime. 'When I'm dead twenty-five years, people are going to recognize me,' he told a friend." Just over thirty years later he was recognized, and later historian <A href="/wiki/Rudi_Blesh" title="Rudi Blesh">Rudi Blesh</A> wrote a large book about ragtime, which he dedicated to the memory of Joplin.<SUP id="cite_ref-Whitcomb_53-1" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-Whitcomb-53">[53]</A></SUP></P>
<P>Although he was penniless and disappointed at the end of his life, Joplin set the standard for ragtime compositions and played a key role in the development of ragtime music. And as a pioneer composer and performer, he helped pave the way for young black artists to reach American audiences of both races. After his death, jazz historian Floyd Levin noted: "Those few who realized his greatness bowed their heads in sorrow. This was the passing of the king of all ragtime writers, the man who gave America a genuine native music."<SUP id="cite_ref-Levin_82-0" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-Levin-82">[82]</A></SUP></P>

At first it focused entirely on Joplin and ragtime music, ignoring the urban milieu which shaped his musical compositions.
