Types of Ragtime
In the book Ragtime, John Edward Hasse states, “There are four main types of ragtime: (1) instrumental rags, (2) ragtime songs, (3) ragtime or syncopated waltzes, and (4) ‘ragging’ of classics and other preexisting pieces.” The next 4 videos will be examples of the these different types.
