Ragtime is a kind of music that developed in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century in the United States. Ragtime is usually written for the piano and has a bouncy kind of rhythm. It was very popular in the 1910s and 1920s, and people liked to dance to it.
When jazz developed, it became even more popular than ragtime. |
