Scott Joplin is now considered to be the most important American ragtime composer and piano player. During his lifetime, Joplin only enjoyed a brief period of professional success in the early 1900s. However, his work had an important, lasting effect on audiences, as well as other composers.When ragtime first appeared in the late nineteenth century, it was considered a low form of cheap entertainment, not a serious musical movement. Then in 1899, Joplin wrote a ragtime song called Maple Leaf Rag. The song showed Joplins creative blend (融合) of AfricanAmerican rhythm (节奏) and more established EuropeanAmerican musical styles. It was a huge success and helped to make ragtime popular with the general public. Maple Leaf Rag was the first instrumental composition to sell over one million copies of sheet music. It was also the first music by an African American to find a large audience among European Americans.Although the general ragtime style already existed before Joplin began composing, his work attracted a lot of attention from other ragtime composers of his time. Songs like Maple Leaf Rag influenced these composers mostly because they were very popular with the public. And many of them started to add similar fast and complex rhythm to their music. Later, composers came to appreciate the high quality of Joplins music, which has continued to capture (引起) the imagination of many composers and musicians up to the present day. For example, many later jazz musicians were influenced by Joplins complex Africanstyle rhythm, Jazz, in turn, went on to influence many more popular music styles. These include the blues, rock and roll, soul, and even hiphop. As a result, many music historians now list Joplins work as an early basis of all modern popular music.语篇解读：美国黑人作曲家斯科特乔普林创作的拉格泰姆音乐作品对美国音乐产生了巨大影响。5What do we learn about ragtime?AIt originated in Europe.BIt was started by Joplin.CIt disappeared
