The turn of the century was the heyday of ragtime, the most popular music form in the mid 1890Æs to the First World War, 1917. Ragtime, was quite crude by professional standards. ... That view of ragtime suggests that white men were at the forefront of sculpting the art form, and that the best ragtime was committed to the printed page. The Negroes were playing ragtime long before white people. ... Ragtime probably got its name from its syncopated rhythm, and because of this, its timing seems ôraggedyö. ... Syncopated music could be found before ragtimeÆs popularity at the turn of the century, but unlike its predecessors that used syncopation as a stylistic feature, ragtime used syncopation as the basis for the underlying structure of its composition.
