	SPECTRUM Biographies - Scott Joplin
		In 1902, Joplin's first major composition was a ballet suite that utilized the rhythms of a type of music called "ragtime." Ragtime was a combination of folk tunes, African rhythms, and Creole influences.
		Joplin became so involved with the success, or lack of it, of Treemonisha that he suffered a collapse in 1911 followed by a nervous breakdown that caused him to be institutionalized in 1916.
		Joplin's most famous compositions are the Maple Leaf Rag, and The Entertainer, which became popular again when it was heard in the movie The Sting.

	Biography & History of Scott Joplin
		Among Joplin’s significant publications in St. Louis were Sunflower Slow Drag (a collaboration with Scott Hayden), Peacherine Rag, The Easy Winners (all in 1901); Cleopha, The Strenuous Life (a tribute to President Theodore Roosevelt), A Breeze from Alabama, Elite Syncopations, The Entertainer, and The Ragtime Dance (all in 1902).
		During the next two years, Joplin composed several new rags and songs, a vaudeville act, a musical, a symphony, and a piano concerto, but none of these were published and the manuscripts have been lost.
		By 1916, Joplin was experiencing the devastating physical and mental effects of tertiary syphilis, a disease he had probably contracted almost two decades earlier.

	Scott Joplin: King of Ragtime (1868-1917)
		Joplin's syncopated musical style found expression in the popular idiom of piano Ragtime, a style that flourished along the Mississippi river in the closing decade of the Nineteenth Century and which endured as a prominent piano style until the end of World War I. To this improvisational genre Joplin brought great artistry, craftsmanship, and elegance.
		Scott Joplin was the child of a former slave and a free-born fl woman, Giles and Florence Givens Joplin, and he grew up in the town of Texarkana on the Texas-Arkansas border.
		Joplin’s Rags, unlike those of most of his contemporaries, are notable for their melodically interesting inner voices, consistent and logical voice-leading, subtle structural relationships and rich chromatic harmonies supported by strongly directed bass lines.
