Description

American ragtime composer Scott Joplin’s “Pineapple Rag” (also spelled as “Pine Apple Rag”) was written and published in 1908. The Rag is in ABACD form, with the first theme returning before the trio section. Once the trio begins, the piece modulates from the initial key of B-flat Major to its subdominant, E-flat Major. The “Pineapple Rag” featured in the 1973 movie blockbuster “The Sting”, which heavily contributed to the Rag’s popularity ever since.
