Ragtime

Ragtime is a predecessor of jazz, originating in the USA, which had its flowering period between 1899 and 1914. It is considered as "America's classical music" and today is essentially perceived as a piano style, but was first played on other instruments and by larger ensembles. The usual etymological interpretation derives the name Ragtime from ragged time, which refers to the syncopated melody lead and its contrast to the rigid rhythm of the accompaniment. A different interpretation suggests a reference in the musical record of 1899, which states: "The negroes call their clog-dancing, ragging 'and the dance a, rag' And even John Philip Sousa orchestrated Ragtimes in his repertoire, and blues musicians such as Blind Blake and Blind Boy Fuller also transferred the ragtime to the guitar. Today they are mostly understood as "City Ragtime" on the piano. Ragtime ist ein in den USA entstandener Vorläufer des Jazz, der seine Blütezeit zwischen 1899 und 1914 hatte. Er gilt als „Amerikas klassische Musik“ und wird heute im Wesentlichen als Klavierstil wahrgenommen, wurde aber zunächst auch auf anderen Instrumenten und von größeren Ensembles gespielt. Die übliche etymologische Deutung leitet den Namen Ragtime aus ragged time ab, was sich auf die synkopierte Melodieführung und ihren Kontrast zum starren Rhythmus der Begleitung bezieht. Eine andere Deutung legt ein Hinweis im Musical Record von 1899 nahe, in dem es heißt: „The negroes call their clog-dancing ‚ragging‘ and the dance a ‚rag‘.“ Während um 1900 mit Ragtime verschiedene Sparten des afro-amerikanischen Musik-Entertainments bezeichnet wurden und selbst John Philip Sousa orchestrierte Ragtimes in sein Repertoire übernahm und Bluesmusiker wie Blind Blake und Blind Boy Fuller den Ragtime auch auf die Gitarre übertrugen, versteht man heute darunter zumeist den auf dem Klavier gespielten „City-Ragtime“.
