[@carlorachel]

As a composer, myself, I studied every genre across every "Age" of music through its evolution. Something about the accessibility of ragtime and its inherent inclusiveness captured my greater attention. While this particular version of MLR is a bit "mechanical," one can still readily hear the life that is within this work. When I teach music appreciation, I usually begin with ragtime as a general base. While this may sound completely nuts, it isn't. People respond to what they recognize and everyone seems to recognize ragtime, regardless of age. Once they are trained to focus on what makes ragtime a "live" music, I can more easily focus their attention on similar details found in all other genres. Scott Joplin was opening a huge door when he wrote his works. I cherish him for enabling a greater light to enter in, ensuring that music would continue to grow.

[@evoplanet627]

oh wow any tips for composing music? ive always wanted to make my own song but idk where to start :(

[@carlorachel]

​@@evoplanet627 Hey YT, it's great to hear you've got the music in you. When you say "I've always wanted to make my own song," I'm guessing you don't mean a rag in ragtime but rather a popular song with music and lyric. Writing pop songs is not hard, but to write a memorable, engaging one is always a challenge. The best-and only-place to start is in your heart. What does your heart, not your mind, have to "say?" Think of one single line that describes everything you are feeling. That's going to be your song's "hook." The verses are the words-usually rhyming, always rhythmic-that connect your hook. Here's a lame example: Hook: "I love ya too much, I can't count the reasons, but let's try!" Then, you have a verse that begins listing the reasons you love that someone. These verses are based on 8-"measure" or what they call 8-bar phrases. That equates to four lines of verse. So, think of a "hook" line that repeats after every verse, and then think of four-line "minipoems" between each repeat of the hook. Read these out loud and "listen for their melody." I swear to you that a melody will emerge out of your heartfelt words. If your words are just words and not feelings, your melody will be poor. But if your message is truly from the heart, the melody that shows up will soar. Godspeed, brother.

[@idkman-c4y]

@@carlorachel In 101 Dalmatians, they said melody first, my dear, and then the lyrics

[@carlorachel]

@@idkman-c4y, Hey C, the process of songwriting that puts the melody first tends to produce a bit more formulaic songs. Because inherent in the melody is an already dictated rhythm, you find yourself to many times "forcing" rhymes and using words only because they "fit" the rhythmic pattern and not because they carry the exact message and emotion of your song's intent. Try it. You'll quickly see what I am saying. Let us agree on this: In the end, songs can be written in any way that produces a song! The goal is to release the spirit and let it rise on its own rhythm and soar on its own melody

[@innatebubble121]

I can answer the first question. Complete. Utter. Determination. Scott Joplin made it clear to himself one day he would dedicate most of his life to the piano. I bet he practiced about 8 hours a day. That’s really with any instrument. You just need to absolute drive to perfect your technique. And by chasing perfection, you will attain excellence.

[@nebulousparadox]

To be fair, there are also other pieces such as Chopin's Ballade No. 1 in G Minor or Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 which are much harder than this piece - it probably required a lot of determination and hard work.

[@Kira-pv4xq]

You gotta be creative, talented, and determined to write something like this. Scott Joplin had all of those things.

中嶋茉莉花 I respectfully disagree, the song was written and played without the sustain pedal in use. Therefore the correct version is without sustain

This video was the motivation for me to start learning this. Finished learning it in September of 2022. Thank you Tom!

I’m impressed with myself that I learnt this, I’ve been playing for 2 years and I’m 12

This rendition makes me want to put on a bowler hat, run around at twice my normal speed in black and white, and communicate only through intertitle cards.

I just had someone try to call this "the entertainer" because "it sounds like the entertainer, so it must be it". They would not listen, despite me informing them that they are both written by the same person, which is why they sound similar. Even with video demonstration of both songs. Like damn, admitting you're wrong won't kill you

Scott Joplin is without a doubt one of my favorite composers. There's nothing like some good old ragtime music to give you a nice late 1800's saloon kinda feel. XD my second favorite must be Franz Liszt though. Why? Do you ask? *Because I'm always on the good Liszt* 😶👏

I can't believe I put off the last half of trio for almost a year especially after how hard the first was to get that muscle memory in the left hand. I've always loved this peice because my grandad played it all the time.

When you play it on x 0.25 it gets a horror movies theme song

[@yoavshati]

Maybe if it were in minor

[@Boamfares]

Omg

[@applescruff1969]

Every song will if you do that.

Landon Cooper ‘Let it go’, What about that? ;)
