One of the most versatile performers in the history of the Canadian music scene, John Arpin was as comfortable playing solo piano as he was performing in concert with full symphony orchestras or for singers. Though he played everything from turn-of-the-century classics to jazz to Broadway show tunes, John Arpin's name has become synonymous with piano rags. He was respected as one of the top Ragtime musicians in the world. The late Ragtime great Eubie Blake pronounced John Arpin "the Chopin of Ragtime", while The New York Times labelled him "the Richter of Ragtime".
