“Lead Belly was a big influence… When you listen to those guys, you’re getting down to the root of the tree.” – John Fogerty, Creedence Clearwater Revival

Maple Leaf Rag is one of Scott Joplin’s most famous compositions, first published in 1899 and often considered the piece that made ragtime a national craze. Maple Leaf Rag's syncopated rhythms & pleasant melodies became a defining example of ragtime piano style. The success of Maple Leaf Rag not only brought Joplin financial stability -- but also cemented his reputation as the “King of Ragtime.”
