Joplin's music fell into obscurity after his death, but it was rediscovered in the 1970s during the ragtime revival. His opera "Treemonisha" was finally performed in full in 1972, and it was awarded the Pulitzer Prize Special Citation in 1976. Today, Joplin is recognized as one of the most important American composers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His music continues to be performed and recorded, and his life and work have been the subject of numerous books and films. | Joplin's music fell into obscurity after his death, but it was rediscovered in the 1970s during the ragtime revival.
