       Ragtime is a musical form that synthesizes folk melodies
       and musical techniques into a brief quadrille like
       structure, designed to be played exactly as written
       on the piano. A strong analogy exists between
5      European composers like Ralph Vaughan Williams,
       Edward Grieg, and Anton Dvorak who combined folk
       tunes and their own original materials in larger
       compositions and the pioneer ragtime composers
       in the United States. Composers like Scott Joplin and James
10   Scott were in a sense collectors or musicologists,
       collecting dance and folk music in Black communities and
       consciously shaping it into brief suites or anthologies
       called piano rags.
