Stride and Noveltty piano were developed from the Ragtime. That was about1920. Stride piano came up in Harlem, NY where black pianists, which hadnt a musical graduation, began to improvise the Rags and so created an own style. Novelty piano developed about the same time in Chicago where only white pianist, which had a highly musical graduation and which were influenced by the european music-styles began to create their own style. Stride and Novelty piano sound very similar so they can be called the first Jazz-styles.
