The Easy Winners (1901), a piece many
commentators believe to be one of Joplin's
greatest rags and one of his most popular, is
something of a celebration of horse racing.

Unusually for Joplin, he chose to publish it

himself (in October of that year). Why his

usual publisher, John Stark,

didn't publish the rag isn't known for certain; one

guess is that Joplin may have been trying to get

Stark's attention after he had passed on

publishing Joplin's ballet The Ragtime Dance.

Stark eventually purchased the plates and

distributed the piece, but the footer still

credited Joplin as the publisher.

BASIC MUSICAL STRUCTURE

Intro AA BB A Trio-Intro CC DD

The A section follows a well-known folk
pattern that was used in many black-

composed pieces throughout the era. It

is followed by his most intricate

syncopated melodic line to date in the
B section. The trio (C section) consists
of a simple pattern that is carried through
to the end, and the last four measures
of it also end the D section, which is
largely a call and response type of phrase.
