Joplin's genre (7)

I believe the answer is:

ragtime

(Other definitions for ragtime that I've seen before include "Syncopated piano music from the 1890s" , "Syncopated piano music - migrate (anag)" , "Kind of jazz for Maigret" , "musical style" , "Syncopated music form" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post.
