From then, their company was gradually developed and Boone started to be in charge in the QRS Piano Roll Company. The company grew in the 1890s and 1900s, and it was almost performed at Churches and concert halls in Canada, Mexico, and the US. The performance was combination of classical music, coon songs, mazurkas, plantation melodies, polkas, ragtime, and spirituals. Besides, he developed a uniquely American sound by combining between classical and popular music. He also became the first performer to unite these forms on the concert stage.
