	Ragtime
		Ragtime was preceded by its close relative the Cakewalk, but the emergence of mature ragtime is usually dated to 1897, the year in which several important early rags were published.
		Ragtime is usually seen as one of the main precursors of jazz (along with the blues).
		Ragtime is mostly associated with the piano, but was and is also performed on other instruments, such as the guitar or banjo, or by groups of musicians.

		Ragtime was less popular by the 1920s by which time Jazz was making an impression, which unlike ragtime had an emphasis on improvisation.
