First of all, before undoing revisions, you can provide a source attesting what Joplin "considered" -- he published very few written words in his own life, and I am curious to see your evidence. Moreover, this article itself, as well as the article "Classic Rag," both describe how Joplin, in practice, both formalized and standardized the existing genre of ragtime. The matter is purely of a technical nature, and is totally unrelated to your vague, imprecise term of "the ages" Undid revisionTags: UndoReverted
