Scott Joplin wrote the perfect piece in the Maple Leaf Rag and performed to perfection by Allison you can hear every note being played . Well done
@markklein437 Жыл бұрын
Great job! You picked the perfect tempo. Scott Joplin once said ragtime should never be played fast. Many players will rush through this piece as if it were a foot race. They miss the subtleties that Scott so lovingly wove into its fabric.
@mikeymutual5489 Жыл бұрын
He said that most of the time. For this piece, he stated that it should be in "March Time."
@trandinhvietdung935710 ай бұрын
same, I also found that The Entertainer form Scott Joplin sounds much better in slower tempo than the quick one. Also the sheet clearly stated that it should be played as Not Fast, but somehow people still rush through the piece.
@jopeckxpress8 ай бұрын
Fast meant something else then compared to now. This a bit slower than ideal.
@SimonBellaMondo5 ай бұрын
The pianola roll created by Scott Joplin plays it about 1.5 this speed, which is still slower than a lot of people play it now.

At the top of the sheet music of “Fig Leaf Rag,” it says played slowly basically. This one u can have fun with.

Nice one! You're playing this at just the right tempo. It's my understanding that it drove Joplin near insane to hear people play his rags too fast. He'd hate me for that!

Nice job! This is my favorite song to play on the piano, I've been playing it about 10 years now. One suggestion I might make is to experiment with using the sustain pedal a bit. I like to use it to "extend" the low notes on the left hand. It helps the song feel a bit less staccato. Good tempo as well, most people tend to rush Joplin but you kept it at a nice speed.

I use the sustain pedal to accomplish this when I play ragtime. If you're really good you can use the sostenuto pedal (the middle one), but it doesn't always function correctly on uprights. It's also pretty tricky to get the timing right.

I wanna learn piano just to play this… scale 1-10 how hard we talking? I play some instruments but have zero piano experience…
@allisonplaysmusic Жыл бұрын
Honestly it wasn't too hard to learn. I learned it about two years ago and back then I thought to myself, "there is absolutely no way I can pull this off..." but I just sat down and separated it into segments and played each segment slowly until I mastered the mechanics of it, and then I sped it up gradually as I felt more comfortable with it. I may do a tutorial of this song in the future, but we shall see... If you already play some instruments, I would say picking up piano shouldn't be too difficult, and actually it would probably benefit you because so much of it translates to other instruments. I personally learned piano as my first instrument but I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to add it to the mix. So, to answer you question of how hard on a scale from 1-10, I would say 6-7 with some experience, but with no piano experience, maybe closer to 8. Just my opinion, but yeah :) All the best to you!
