Scott Joplin (short bio)

(Texarcana, 1868 – New York, 1917) American pianist and composer. to formal perfection He brought ragtime, pieces with a syncopated rhythm that were very popular in the first decades of the 20th century in the United States, in which a rhythmic sense close to that of jazz can be seen. His Maple Leaf Rag (1899) for piano was immensely successful. The opera Treemonisha (1911), a mixture of black rhythms, ragtime and Italian opera, is his most ambitious work.

Scott Joplin received private piano lessons from a very young age. In the mid-eighties he undertook a long journey through the American Midwest, and in 1893 he performed at the Columbian Exposition in Chicago. Joplin wanted to succeed as a pianist and as a classical composer; For this reason he settled in Sedalia in 1895 and studied music at the George R. Smith College for Colored People. In 1900 he moved to St. Louis to work alongside music publisher John Stark.

In 1902 he published and directed the choreography of his first ballet piece, in which numerous ragtime rhythmic devices appear , and in 1903 he published his first opera, guest of A honor .

In 1907, she moved to New York, and that same year she wrote the instruction manual The school ragtime of . Joplin developed and perfected ragtime with a series of compositions that have become classics of this genre, such as Maple leaf rag , Wall Street rag and The entertainer , a theme on which composer Marvin Hamlisch would base his unforgettable soundtrack film The Sting (1973), starring Paul Newman and Robert Redford . His contract with John Stark ended in 1909.

One of his most notable productions was Treemonisha , from 1911, a work that synthesizes all the ideas that the author had about music in a classic opera. Of this opera between acts, for which Joplin also wrote the libretto, only the edition for voice and piano is preserved, edited at the time by the same author, although the handwritten score for orchestra, which Scott Joplin finished, has not been found. but that remained unpublished.

Treemonisha has been defined as “the first great American opera, since it speaks a genuinely American language with the conventional forms of Western opera, such as the overture, the aria, the airoso, the recitative, the choruses and the ballet” (WJ Schafer and J. Riedel). The work is closed in form and consists of twenty-seven numbers. Some precise choreographic instructions, written by Joplin, accompany some scenes; They are of particular interest for the assembly of numbers 4, 13 and 27.

The action takes place in 1884, when Treemonisha, the protagonist, is eighteen years old. The scene takes place on an Arkansas plantation and in the thick jungle that surrounds it. The area is inhabited only by blacks, since its white masters have abandoned it after the defeat of the Confederates.

Two tendencies confront the population: one fetishist, dominated by superstitions and linked to magical culture, ridiculed by Joplin, and another that trusts in the progress acquired through culture, personified by Treemonisha and her parents. Treemonisha (whose name derives from the fusion of the words “tree”, tree, and Monisha, name of the woman who wanted to have a child, found the girl under a tree, and raised her as her own) is the only literate person from the black community, for whom the civil war has meant freedom.
