Odd that this article doesn't mention his piano teacher: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julius_Weiss

It's generally pretty hard for me to get through stuff written in this article's style, but overall I get the point.

As an amateur pianist, who has always loved ragtime music, I remember how irritated I was when I tried to choose a Scott Joplin piece to play at a recital or competition and was told I couldn't because it was "popular music".
