Today composer Scott Joplin is mainly celebrated for his catchy ragtime pieces “Maple Leaf Rag” and “The Entertainer.” However, by overlooking his less famous works, listeners will miss the full range of Joplin’s creativity. For instance, his waltz “Pleasant Moments” and his opera Treemonisha skillfully blend ragtime and classical music. These masterpieces deserve as much fame as Joplin’s biggest hits.
