Scott Joplin - Elite Syncopations

[@TwiddleXTormenT]

I could clean up my room listening to this song! ^-^

[@rollinstoneslover]

You know what i have noticed? When pianists get really into there music they rock back and forth. My chorus teacher does, you do, and i find myself doing it somtimes, i find it amazing! Btw, this is amazing! i love the grace notes.

[@KevinDaRoitBortoluzzi]

I am learning this piece! You play it very very well and the graces notes you added are very nice!

[@meistercoproductions5733]

been listening to this channel since I was 10 over 15 years ago, these are still some of the best versions of most of these compositions, nice

[@MalcolmTheProfessor]

You are simply just a joy to listen to. Joplin seems to be alive. He would be proud of you.

[@Sheenadesai]

I freaking love Scott Joplin and all his pieces. Trying to play maple lead rag, bethena and this song right now. You play them all perfectly I always refer back to your videos when practicing

[@kechones]

Dude, I love your performances! I'm listening to a few right now to help keep my homework from driving me insane. I am a piano student, and I've been trying a lot of Scott Joplin lately. I've been watching a lot of your videos to get an idea of how these rags should sound. Thank you very much for sharing your musicality with us all.

[@speechrighter]

Wow!!! You played this like you've got some sense!!! I've been listening to Joplin players for more than 30 years, and I don't think I've ever heard a pianist with a better feel for the music! You captured the rhythm, the elegance and the FUN of the rags written by the King of the Ragtime Composers!

[@lcrread]

I really enjoy listening to Scott Joplin playing. May you continue playing as I can see you really enjoy it too! Best Wishes to you as a musician.

[@sirlaughalot1992]

It sounds like Mr. Joplin had all these great rhythms running through his head, and he quickly put them all together in one song before he could forget them! I love it!

[@Heavymetalthunda3]

I like this version better than how everyone else plays it (faster) honestly. I think slowing it down was perfectly fine. Solo music is all about interpretation. And the speed allowed you to show the style more

[@Donkelo]

This video always puts a big smile on my lips. Beautiful playing!

[@Kazaazz]

Rags make me feel happy...contented....peaceful..... Thanks man!

[@godsmackdisturbed1]

I'm starting to learn this song, and it is one of the funnest songs I've ever played. Very well done.

[@undiente]

I'd surely buy your ragtime compilation album, I love your performances!!

[@Egaads]

Ohhh man, that's GREAT! The last third is brilliant. I don't know piano, nor this piece, but I was grinning from ear-to-ear throughout...and at the end, let out an audible "Wow!!" My nephew would love this. Can't wait to hear more. Thanks for the entertainment (and to Scott for the notes).

[@PianoGuitarandMore]

This is my favorite Scott Joplin rag so far.... Just printed the sheets

[@VikingHaakensen]

Beautiful! Very well played. The Professor himself would be proud. Excellent.

[@b.bigdaddy]

I just love Scott Joplin... fascinating music... enchanting... inspirational :D You play them like there's no carei n the world... terrific job bro

[@jeff94582]

There is something very soothing about Scott joplin. I enjoy the piano player as well.

[@PorterB]

I've been playing the Piano since I was 5, I gave up at around 22 because I was stuck at Grade 7. I just started playing again and am finally making improvement, thanks to these Scott Joplin pieces :) You play them brilliantly, far better then anyone else I've seen play them. I am listening to these again and again to help me play by ear, thanks a lot for the inspiration and these videos.

[@Beafteck89]

God Bless that talent of yours. You have quite a gift, and you are putting it to great use!

[@KingRat355]

Great job! Great touch! And great changes to the original. This is one of my favourite where I like all 4 parts.

[@prowlamongus]

You're amazing. You bring new enjoyment to Joplin

[@greob]

Very nice interpretation! I like your variations on it. Shows how much work you've done on this piece. Nice!

[@RMSAquitania]

Absolutely marvelous! This is one of my favourite rags and I have loved this music since hearing it at the Great America amusement park in California 20 years ago and finally matching it to Joplin while in college. I could listen to this all day.

[@RicAbapo]

gosh, dis is my comeback for almost a year now, coz i really was isolated from ragtime coz the music school here, where i study, doesn't want to hear me playing ragtime,tsk but now, ragtime still prevails on my heart.love it, heard it 2x alredi d 1st one when i was in my junior high school) and now i am a college freshman:), you chocotiger have been one of my inspiration to pursue music as my course, thnx.i've been playin ragtime and it's very very cool!

[@FemuD]

This is really really great!!! I danced to this song last year with my class! Very well done. :)

[@Prilly49]

Really nice! Really like your playing of this song. It's terrific! Thanks for sharing.

[@draftpunkracing]

Wow... speechless... 10 out of 5 stars!!! that was amazing! keep up the good work! loved the grace notes too!

[@paulcopeland]

Great romantic performance with plenty of rits and accels. You showed a lot of control with the tempo. Interesting ending when you speeded up. Well done indeed. Paul.

[@5L0wCu63]

i love how u make the pieces you play sound like they came originally from you. ur own little things u add to the song make it sound new. again, joplin would be proud =) 10/5 stars man.

[@Primverb]

Omg, all I was missing on this video was the applause at the end cO awesome job!

[@vxsonata]

you sir rock my world! keep it up!!!

[@valmllr]

You really drew everything out of the ending that you could! Of course the end is so fun so how could you resist. : )

[@unamidu88]

Very good, I love Scott Joplin

[@sxeflapjack]

Beautiful, as always. I love your performances.. it's obvious you put a lot of work into them. Thank you for sharing this with everyone. :) I've really been enjoying the Joplin pieces you perform -- I randomly come and listen to them occasionally. It feels deeper than when people just speed through them nonsensically.

[@catkinsx]

Wonderful interpretation! I especially love the faster tempo to finish it off with a flourish.

[@BMGraham]

Not only beautifully played, but off by heart also!

[@yuwong1000]

I really enjoyed it. I am kinda surprised that only a few thousand people have watched it. This song really isn't any worse than the entertainer or maple leaf rag.

[@ALex4815162342]

I just fell in love with the accelerando you did at the end. It is just too great to be true, but it is, IT IS!! (lol) Congratulations!! Great performance!!

[@gorii1234]

after I watched all of your video.. Now I become Your fan totally..

[@verdew8181]

this is pure ear-fun, it is like walking on air.

[@thecobraman]

YOU R THE BEST ON THE NET,,,FULL STOP,,

[@WhiteyMarsh]

Bravo! You have a really unique touch.

[@evandanger547]

You are the most amazing and talented pianist I have ever seen! You have talent. Keep doing what your doing!

[@valmllr]

I decided to learn this song after watching you play it. Thanks :)

[@medeforest]

Great Job!! Really great! I hope you get an upright grand. The longer bass strings are totally worth it. I like your other rag postings, too! You do a great job of interpretting and putting in personality without overworking the piece. You're an inspiration.

[@Protopteryx]

I'm stunned! You're great!

[@carpetime]

Great playing, fantastic

[@CJohnston079]

Excellent playing! Hope to see more Joplin's from you soon. 5/5

[@Eichetheking]

I´d really like it to play this song from scott Joplin... I think, It´s even better and harder to play than the maple leaf rag.. Very well played! amazing.

[@Dimmify]

This guy is amazing- he should record an album!!!

[@raggyelf]

I'm learning to play this at the moment. I must say you are a maestro of Ragtime! Keep it up! :)

[@lomaxxf3]

This got me inspired to pick up some more ragtime pieces. I learned Entertainer and Maple Leaf Rag, which the latter was tedious, but rewarding to learn. Good use of the pedal and good overall playing! Keep it up!

[@nguyenhuongxuan201]

Very well done! I love this song. I will learn this song some day. :D

[@turmat01]

nice! very very nice! Good job Choco!

[@Bessie99Big]

exquisitely played chocotiger.Happy Christmas from the\U.K.

[@thucydides01984]

Very nice. A lot of variations on the tempo, which is refreshing.

[@tomhunter0]

[@mrfreshmint]

dynamics, dynamics, dynamics. i would buy his songs on iTunes no doubt

[@matialex]

Wow!!! you are amazing!!

[@mikeXmosh]

you have a great sense of dynamics.

[@javipk7]

glad to see your new work! It's really good, as normal in you, and quite similar to joplin songs (they're all similar) Keep the good work ;) i was the number *7* of watching this vid ^^

[@Holyjtizzle123]

Scott Joplin the 2nd right here

[@msmusicbunny]

I think you played very well, as I am playing this song in the last month.

[@SimoneRugani]

Very good! Scott Joplin would be proud of you! And thanks for the comment on my video...

[@MariaMendoza-sk8lq]

[@o0xHorizoNx0o]

3 Years later you see people watching this video. Bravo.

[@johnjdunbar420]

Prob Farming more like 11 years

[@rimikabanerjee314]

i played this song this year:) it was really fun especially the ending

[@ralykSNtepnatS]

This is awesome! I'm learning to play this song right now, I can get through it...but it doesn't sound nearly as great as this!

[@pacerdanny]

Really superb job this time. The part around 2:50 - 3:00 looks really hard! Can't wait for the next one.

[@TCTriangle]

Whoa that last part was the best!

[@skrillblast]

i don't even like this kind of music and you make me want to learn to play it lol, very good ;)

[@Eichetheking]

I love this song!!! I´m also trying to learn it at the moment! I hope I have succsess!!! Very well played!

[@xinnono]

[@buffuzo4201]

my cat liked it so much he took a dump and missed his box. Very nice...

[@applegum34]

I luv scott joplin!

[@Henry_GamesX]

Great video!

[@Liltle]

OMG same, in fact this is always my gaming name "elitesyncopation" in all of my online games, unless i have to use fewer words, i will stick ti Lilt or Liltle. Your version of this rag is my favorite of all covers I've heard. Elite Syncopation is the best rag, Bethena is the best waltz.

[@johnrussell6602]

Congratulations on your achievement!

[@ounderi]

THANK YOU for not slaughtering the piece with speed!

[@crossrodde]

Perfect syncopation... I hope you get famous, good luck:)

[@Sony90210]

wow this is actually really amazing. i'm usually a dick when i'm judging other people playing joplin's rags, but you i have to say are a ridiculously amazing pianist.

[@chocotiger]

thanks flapjack. btw I haven't visited kyle landry's forums in a loooong time lol. I should visit there more often.

[@pianist380]

Luv it!!!!

[@BassistDuckface]

Who DOESN'T love good old fashioned syncopation

[@JordanDPiano]

hey im about to learn this song and i was wondering if you added stuff on it like on the maple leaf rag

[@schemer561]

Ragtime makes me smile

[@histaricaljoker]

:D Im supposed to start learning this and maple leaf rag pretty hard stuff so great job!

[@Dan474834]

lmfao u are so envious... the closest thing you have ever player to a piano is a sesame street keyboard roula... choco you are great!

[@alberteats]

Perfect.

[@yitah]

Very nice!

[@adamila98]

i lov your music

[@chocotiger]

never really heard of it. i'll try to give it a listen, thx

[@wilkesjournal]

Awesome. If you're taking requests, I'd love to see you play Joplin's "Easy Winners". Thanks.

[@heribertvonstomp8686]

Scott Jaoplin died 100 years ago: April - 01 - 1917. OK-Dreamband recorded two Ragtimes in Memory of Scott: The Entertainer and Clarinet Rag.
