[@mickkennedy1344]

When you take two identical strings, tune them to the same note, then detune one of them very slightly it produces 'reverb' -- that's the way this piano is tuned, a Honky Tonk piano

[@keithhayes3600]

Mick Kennedy Not reverb, dissonance. Old strings, worn out hammers, dampers, lack of maintenance, etc. creates the sound. A piano is like a car. It get worn with usage and age. Regular tuning is a must. Old beer soak saloons are not a good place for a large musical instrument.

[@mickkennedy1344]

@@keithhayes3600 Why do you think I put the word 'reverb' in quotes? -- and it was what he was talking about anyway. Musicians have known for years the trick of slightly detuning, particularly 2 rhythm guitars -- I used to do it many years ago when playing in bands, it enlivens the sound, makes it sound like 'stereo' -- cancellation of beats is what a piano tuner uses to perfectly tune paired strings, pianos, 12-string guitars, mandolins, bouzoukis

The joy I felt the day I finally found Scott Joplins home/apartment in St Louis early 1980’s. A gentleman opened the door to us surprised to see visitors. He invited us in and I actually sat on Scott’s bench at Scott’s very old piano. He found my favorite of Mr. Joplins music called “Solace”. I will never forget that moment .

This song hits a very special chord for me. Growing up in the suburbs of Chicago and being poor, as a child, I remember my parents would save up all year to take us kids to the Six Flags Great America Amusement Park. When you walk into the park, there was a sprawling garden full of every color of flower you can imagine, a huge wishing pond and directly ahead, as a kid, looked like the biggest carousel ever created. There were stands serving fresh popcorn, cotton candy, you can hear the roar of crowds on the rollercoasters and I remember holding my parents hands, as excited as a kid can be. Throughout the park were speakers blaring old rag time music and I always remembered this song playing on the loudspeakers, smelling the popcorn and cotton candy, seeing all the bright flower colors, hearing laughter and screaming on all the rides. I sit here, crying, of how wonderous those moments in time were. Thanks for playing this song, a big fan of yours, but, this one really tugged at my soul.

[@ambivalentdisaster673]

My grandfather taught himself to play piano by ear starting with this song. He loved ragtime. We asked him yo play “Ragtime Daddy” when we’d visit as kids, lying on the floor as we watched his feet move under the baby grand. In the end, the cancer had taken most of his energy and he became too weak to play. The last time we saw him, he said he had just had a blood transfusion and was feeling great. We asked him to play The Entertainer (“Ragtime Daddy”) for us. I was in my 30s, but I lay on the floor and watched his feet, knowing it would be the last time, and crying the entire time. He died a couple months later, this piece playing his photo montage at his funeral. Every time I play, I remember sitting with him as he taught me. Every now and then, I will listen to this song and just remember him. Thank you for the great memories. ☮️💟

Not too slow either - I have heard way too many pianists play this tune at a slow, very dragging pace, and have heard the evidence that Joplin himself played it at a nice clip.

Once you play a lot of songs your brain kinda understands how the songs works that makes you learn songs faster. I have been playing the guitar for some time and i can just hear the song and play it. I am not saying that he is not impressive tho

[@ADrunkBassist]

@@nerfwalid9568 piano is not like a guitar where you don't need sheet music. On a guitar, you know where your chords are, you know the patterns of where your scales are going to be and you can just improvise stuff without having to play solos note for note every time. On a piano, you're using your left hand to play bass notes and your right hand to play scales. I can't imagine how hard that must be to do without any sheet music to keep track of where you're supposed to be in the song. That's why you don't see a whole lot of pianists playing without sheet music, because it's not easy.

[@mr.mcnuggies]

@@ADrunkBassist When playing piano, after playing the song so many times with the sheet music, you don't even need the sheet music anymore since your hands just subconsciously know which keys to press. Once you play a song so many times you start to memorize every note you're supposed to play

[@ADrunkBassist]

@@mr.mcnuggies i can't argue with that since I don't play piano myself. I was merely reflecting that guitar is a much easier instrument to learn because the chords and the scales are always the same shape once you learn them and because you don't have to use both hands to play notes, one hand for bass notes and one hand for higher pitches. To me, that would be much easier to do with sheet music whereas with a guitar, you don't necessarily even need a tab to learn a song.

[@cynthiaklenk6313]

You are correct. EVERY piece that Mr.Joplin and W.C Mr. Handy wrote was annotated "Not too fast" . As I was saying above, it was intended as a form of dance music for the Cake Walk which was very popular. It had a very strictly structured form as well, with a series of refrains and repeats. The key is getting the syncopation correct. The left hand "stride" is almost like a metronome and rather independent of the right hand. . Its all about the syncopation.
