Personally, I've always heard "Turkey in the Straw" in the New World first
movement!

Subject: Re: [Finale] Brahms, Dvorak and Ragtime
When I was young, I was certain that the ending of the "New World"
symphony was boogie-woogie. Anachronistic of course, but it is now
generally accepted that D. really did make use of music he heard from
the Fiske Jubilee Singers, at least as a model.
As to conjectures abt. how ragtime might have fared at the hands of
various 19th-c. masters, I thing the closest we'll ever come is Borodin,
who is known to have been influenced by Gottschalk in _Prince Igor_
