Scott Joplin was a prominent figure in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, primarily associated with the genre of ragtime music. His most active years were during the 1890s to the early 1910s, a time when ragtime was gaining popularity in the United States. Joplin's compositions, such as "Maple Leaf Rag" and "The Entertainer," played a crucial role in defining this musical style. Thus, his music period can be characterized as the ragtime era, within the broader context of the late Romantic period in Classical Music.
