| Details: | American ragtime, a precursor of early jazz, exemplifies the ascendency of captivating musical elements—originating in African-American musical traditions—that contribute to the mass appeal of much popular music since the late nineteenth century. Ragtime, named for its “ragged,” syncopated rhythms, would peak in popularity toward the end of World War I. Not coincidental was the emergence of ragtime during the Industrial Revolution when an expanding middle class was increasingly able to afford new technologies for the home and for business. A wide range of musical boxes, player pianos, nickelodeons, and early phonographs provided families and customers an available supply of the newest, most popular music of the day.
