I'm taking a Music Literature class called History of Jazz and Rock and Roll. We're about half way through it and were nearing the 1900's. We just broke into march and ragtime music and our teacher introduced some of Scott Joplin's music. No I know The Entertainer by him and it is amazingly nostalgic from when I was in elementary school for some reason. Now that I hear his other music, I'm even more in love. I'm not as in love with certain songs or verses as I am in love with the general 'sound' coming across. I'm yet to take any music theory classes but he's definitely doing something I've never hear before with his chord changes and ways of playing. It's almost like he puts sounds together that I've never heard used along side one another.
Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

For those that don't, download The Entertainer and Maple Leaf Rag and listen with open ears

Be sure to download a solo piano version though to hear the original form. Some are of various band and symphony remakes.
