“Ragtime” emerged from Black music in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, characterized by unprecedented syncopation of ragged (displaced) rhythms and occasional emphasis on offbeats.
The difference between ragtime and jazz is whether playing follows the score and whether there is improvisation.
Ragtime is a musical style performed in saloons and similar venues mainly by African American pianists from the 1870s, characterized by playing according to the score. Pieces in 2/4 or 4/4 time feature rhythms with frequent syncopation. A common style has the left-hand accompaniment maintaining a steady 2-beat meter while the right hand plays rhythmic melodies.
Jazz, meanwhile, emphasizes improvisation, characterized by performing while creating music on the spot.

「ラグタイム」は、黒人音楽を基礎として19世紀末から20世紀初頭に従来とは違う、ラグした（ズレた）リズムのシンコペーション、時に裏拍の強調を特徴として生まれました。
ラグタイムとジャズの違いは、楽譜どおりに演奏するかどうか、即興性があるかどうかです。
ラグタイムは、1870年代から主にアフリカ系アメリカ人のピアノ奏者によって酒場などで演奏されていた音楽の様式で、楽譜どおりに演奏することを特徴としています。2/4拍子や4/4拍子の曲で、シンコペーションを多く用いたリズムが特徴です。伴奏部の左手が安定した2拍子を刻み、右手はリズミカルな旋律を演奏するというスタイルが一般的です。
一方、ジャズは即興性を重視しており、その場で音楽をつくりながら演奏することを特徴としています。
