Thank you! You’re the only one that doesn’t play this super fast. Mr. Joplin always stated in his compositions “not fast.”

[@doyouhaveanyregrets]

Only the true legends show the sheet music score instead of a midi piano roll

[@thecluelesscomposer]

Well, both have their justification as they serve different purposes.

[@midnightmusic1087]

TheCluelessComposer what is the purpose of midi. Ninety nine percent of people who watch those can’t read sheet music and are therefore not advanced enough to play it.

[@thecluelesscomposer]

@@midnightmusic1087 well for me MIDI is a tool that helps me to learn the piano ...

In '74 when I was 17 I saw "The Sting" with Paul Newman and Robert Redford in London. A great movie and I loved the music. When I got back to Copenhagen I went to the record shop to try find Scott Joplin's rags. They were a bit curious about my sudden interest in rag time music.

[@TallysYunes]

Oh, man. I LOVE your dynamics throughout the piece. They're perfectly timed and have the perfect shifts in intensity. Whenever I'm good enough to tackle this piece, I'll use your interpretation as my go-to standard.

[@PiotrBarcz]

The second and fourth strains of this are the real masterpiece, the fourth in particular is one of the more sentimental things in ragtime.

[@ryanpaulsalazar7727]

So amazing watching your left hand movement. 😀 This is just so delightful to listen and watch.

Nice playing Paul, I grew up in a family of piano players and I defected to the guitar as my instrument of choice. But to this day I love hearing good piano music and yours certainly is very very good. A joy to listen to and to play along with. Never learned this song on guitar but thanks to you I have an opportunity to now. Thanks for the inspiration! :)

[@dang1861]

Historical note: This type music was relegated to the saloon because its composers were black and not allowed to play in the big concert halls of the time. Rag Time music had a more respected following in Europe by the European composers than it had in America with its silly Jim Crow laws. History kind of repeated itself 50 years later when many blues artists went to Europe and found a huge following...that later became the British Invasion.

I keep looking for classic ragtime pieces I can practice on my 61-key Casio. There is literally one note in this piece that stops me from being able to do it. Ah well, on to the next video. Also, great job! :)

[@saharatul]

Just skip that note

[@hnnymn]

Well done! Perfect tempo, nice clarity, without sacrificing the playfulness of this one. It reminds me of “The Easy Winners” - both are rare Joplin compositions of pure carefree joyousness without a hint of sadness or regret. I imagine Joplin wrote them during a happy uncomplicated time in his life, having found love, recognition, and a measure of wealth. But Joplin's nature was not given to endless sunshine. Your performance of this one is as good as I've heard. Much better than Rifkin's, which is idiosyncratically slow (however, I generally view Rifkin as the gold standard of Joplin players). Both you and Rifkin feel the need to accent the A♭ (bar 18) in the descending bassline at the end of the first strain. I don't like this at all. That note is so delicious in part because it is so far out of the key; it stands out on its own. If anything, it should be 𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳emphasized.

[@DangerRussDayZ6533]

I wouldn't be surprised if he was just sight reading this piece, or played it over once or twice before recording.

[@sstroh32]

I don’t mean to rain on your parade, but the king of ragtime didn’t enjoy a whole lot of carefree uncomplicated times in his life. As an African American living in the reconstruction era life was not easy, despite being a prolific musician. Despite record breaking sales he had continuous financial challenges and died relatively young of syphilis.
