Ragtime street pianist all'aeroporto di Palermo

[@donovans6472]

it's very impressive when played fast like that...the only negative is that we don't get to hear the full beauty of the song. but to get attention speed will always impress...this guy deserves a lot of credit to play that song so well in a crowded place like that. he was playing effortlessly great stuff!............

[@srenhaandbk7904]

Hmm, I agree, and Scott Joplin had a very clear perception on that too, going so far as to have "Don't play quickly !" written on his published sheet music. Yet I guess that this idea of playing fast just became a parallel respected way to play too, like it was with classical music, and which Tom Scott himself persisted that his music was before it had been given its own genre.

[@洪諒]

It's within the best tempo for this piece, so tired of people dragging the tempo and making it sound boring. Ragtime was the kind of music to which people danced, not tea party or bedtime music...

[@rgtime6460]

You totally right Sir 🙂

I think it should be slower. 105-115 bpm is best

The very last strain played (repeat D strain) I love how he adds a chromatically descending part and changes the bass notes following it (apart from the original sheet music). I transcribed it and now play it like this.

[@thatrecord5313]

Yes, but I made a mistake in my comment: it doesn't go down chromatically. (The following instructions are all eighth notes) It goes down Ab, Gb, F, Eb, and then Db, followed by *Chord 1* (Ab, Db, F), bass notes Ab, *Chord 1* again, bass notes Db, *Chord 1*, bass notes Ab, *Chord 1*, then bass notes Ab again, *Chord 2* (Eb, Ab, and C), bass notes Eb, *Chord 2*, bass notes Ab again, *Chord 2*, bass notes Eb, *Chord 2*, and then the final bass line of the original score (you know, the one with the 16th and 8th notes together?)

...véritablement heureux de constater qu'une certaine jeune génération, aussi, est capable d'apprécier et d'interpréter avec brio des airs du patrimoine musical mondial tel que celui-ci par exemple. Si ma mémoire ne me joue pas de vilain tour, le "Maple leaf rag" de Scott Joplin, doit dater de la toute fin du XIXème siècle (peut-être 1898 ou 1899), antérieur donc à Jelly Roll Morton, "l'inventeur du jazz", ou plutôt le précurseur d'une nouvelle façon de le jouer. Merci à ce jeune homme talentueux et fin connaisseur !

[@gilgard294]

Ciao, ascoltare il video mi ha strappato un sorriso perchè questo brano è stato uno dei miei primi brani "seri" che ho suonato al pianoforte, e mi divertivo davvero come un matto a suonarlo. Concordo con chi dice che sei andato un po' troppo spedito ma comunque bravissimo!

[@magnumopus1628]

Complimenti! Devo essere sincero, quando ho cercato ''ragtime'' su youtube l'ultima cosa che mi aspettavo era quella di vedere un video fatto da un italiano. Ma ne ero piacevolmente sorpreso. Saluti da MIlano.

[@gigantiscrap]

“Weird guy” nailed it! Joplin did say not too fast however, fast can be good as you just heard! Don’t tell me you didn’t feel it! This guy just rocked out the Maple Leaf Rag! Hands down!

[@davidelongo6438]

Lascia stare chi ti dice di rallentare, non dare loro retta affatto!!! Sei stato semplicemente straordinario e strepitoso in tutto e per tutto, dal tocco ai piccoli guizzi improvvisatorî (Anche Scott applicava variazioni nei suoi piano-rolls, specialmente nell'accompagnamento, facendolo, a tratti, sincopato)!!! Il Rag-Time è Rag-Time, Chopin è Chopin. Quando Scott Joplin diceva di andarci piano non intendeva di andarci lento e moderato (e poi dipende dal brano in esame, ovvio), ma di non eccedere, perché non si perda la sincope. Joplin stesso affermava che il 'Rag-Time' ha un effetto intossicante per chi l'ascolta. Parole sue. Per anni ed anni ed anni si è considerato il Rag-Time una musica tranquilla e compassata. Basta tempi oscuri. Si pensi alle incisioni di Mike Bernard, al pianoforte, autentico testimone dell'epoca. Era musica concepita sí per pianoforte, ma bisogna immaginarla pure eseguita da bande militari: un orgasmo di fiati e tamburi festanti. 'Rag' deriva dall'arabo 'Raqs', ossia 'danza'! Per cui, danziamo, danziamo!
