Scott Joplin was an American composer and pianist. Dubbed the "King of Ragtime", he composed more than 40 ragtime pieces, one ragtime ballet, and two operas. He received the Pulitzer Prize posthumously in 1976. 

Gershwin's three most famous preludes, written in 1927, demonstrate his genius for piano writing. "Prelude I" exudes energetic syncopation, "Prelude II" is a lyric blues, and "Prelude III" closes the set with exciting syncopations.

“Graceful Ghost Rag”
Written in 1970 in memory of Bolcom's father, the piece combines the traditional rag style and pianistic features of the romantic musical era.
