Note: The ragtime march Maple Leaf Rag is the composition that established Joplin as the preeminent composer of ragtime piano music. Contrary to popular conception, it has nothing to do with Canada or Canadians, having been written in Missouri. Maple Leaf Rag was first published in 1899, bearing the epithet “King of Ragtime Writers.”
