It's all compositions of Scott Joplin who created Ragtime."Ragtime, also spelled rag-time or rag time, is a musical style that had its peak from the 1890s to 1910s. Its cardinal trait is its syncopated or "ragged" rhythm. Ragtime was popularized during the early 20th century by composers such as Scott Joplin, James Scott and Joseph Lamb. Ragtime pieces (often called "rags") are typically composed for and performed on piano". Some of his pieces are The Maple Leaf Rag, Stoptime Rag , and The Ragtime Dance.
