Born in Texas in either 1867 or 1868, Joplin was raised in Texarkana, the boy of a labourer and former slave. As a baby, Joplin taught himself pianoforte on an instrumental role belonging to a white family that given him access to it, and at long last studied with a local, German-born instructor world Health Organization introduced Joplin to classical music. Joplin attended high schooling in Sedalia, MO, a town that would process as Joplin's place base during his to the highest degree well-situated age, and where a museum now bears his constitute. In 1891, the beginning traceable evidence of Joplin's music calling is set up, placing him in a folk singer company in Texarkana. In 1893, he played in Chicago during the Columbian Exposition was held, reportedly in the lead a band with a trumpet. Afterward, Joplin colonised in Sedalia, worked with former boldness bands and origination a vocal radical called the Texas Medley Quartette. During an 1895 visual aspect in Syracuse, NY, the timber of Joplin's original songs for the Texas Medley Quartette so impressed a radical of local businessmen that they arranged for Joplin's number one publications. Around 1896, Joplin enrolled in Sedalia's George R. Smith College for Negroes to study formally, publishing a few more pieces in the age to come after. In 1899, publishing company John Stark of Sedalia issued Joplin's second ragtime composition, "Maple Leaf Rag." It didn't get on like wildfire instantly, but within a few age the popularity of "Maple Leaf Rag" was so tremendous that it made Joplin's name; and Joplin earned a diminished per centum of income from it for the rest of his years, portion to stabilize him in his last years. By the end of 1899, Joplin presented his outset challenging mould, the concert dance The Ragtime Dance, at the Wood Opera House in Sedalia. It didn't seem in print until 1902, and then only in a shortened form. Joplin touched to St. Louis in 1901, as did Stark, wHO go down his raw publishing speculation up as "The House of Classic Rags." Joplin wrote many of the other rags he is known for during this clip, including "The Entertainer," "The Easy Winners," and "Elite group Syncopations." In 1903, Joplin unionised a touring company to execute his number one opera, A Guest of Honor, which foundered afterward a couple of months, going away Joplin necessitous. He had cured well enough to seem at the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair to introduce his rile "The Cascades," which proven his second great success. Joplin likewise matrimonial for a second clip to a char wHO died only a few weeks into their marriage after a tear with pneumonia, plunging Joplin into some other bout of despair. During a visit to Chicago in 1907 he renewed an friend with the St. Louis pianist Louis Chauvin, world Health Organization did non long outlast the call in. Joplin utilized a breed drawn from Chauvin's playing into the finest of his "collaborative" rags, "Bloodstone Bouquet." This was promulgated after Joplin moved to New York in 1907.

With his third married woman, Lotte Joplin, Joplin formed his own music company and published his concluding pianissimo crucify, "Magnetic Rag" (1914), one of his best. By this sentence, debilitating, long-run effects of lues venerea were get-go to break down Joplin's health, although he did bring off to make 7 hand-played pianoforte rolls in 1916 and 1917; though heavily edited, these rolls ar as fill up as one is likely to get to hearing Joplin's have playing. One of them is W.C. Handy's "Ole Miss Rag," which suggests that Joplin mightiness own had a hand in its composition or arrangement. Joplin was hardworking and selfless in his advocacy of his dude ragtime composers, collaborating with James Scott, Arthur Marshall, Louis Chauvin, and Scott Hayden and portion to set up others by Artie Matthews and the patrick White New Jersey composer Joseph Lamb, whose knead Joplin pitched to Stark. "Maple Leaf Rag" remained a changeless in pop music throughout the Jazz Age, just the better part of Joplin's knead remained unknown until the "ragtime revival" of the former '70s, during which "Scott Joplin" became a house cite and Treemonishia was finally staged by the Houston Grand Opera.
