Abstract

ragtime is an American musical genre that was most popular during the first twenty years of the 20th century. It is a dance form that is written in 2/4 or 4/4 time, where there is a walking bass that plays legato on beats 1-3 and staccato chords played on 2-4 beats in the right hand. A big portion of ragtime is written in classical (Sonata) form. This type of structure includes four themes, where the last theme is altered. ragtime is known to have a syncopated feel and is written so that off-beats get accented.
