Good for you, Daniel! What an incredible feat! 2 1/2 hours and 50 ragtime pieces from memory! ... just because you were bored and as a hobby! You express many features of what Ragtime welcomes and Eubie Blake encouraged: "Play it through the first time as the composer wrote ... then play it the second time the way you think it should have been written!" Fast ... slow ... Liberace ... JoAnn Castle ... even the piano rolls of Joplin ... tempos are personal and subjective ... you do you ... the "wishers" will always have something to find to nick-pick about ... but if they could do ... they would ... rather than comment. Keep up the good work!
I am a nearly 70 y/o struggling through The Maple Leaf Rag, making progress everyday. You bring great joy to my heart listening to you perform these forgotten gems. I will practice twice as long tomorrow, motivated by your great talent. Sincere thanks for sharing this!
That's cool. That was the first piece/rag I ever learned on piano many years ago. Only using a tutorial and memory, I learned it so fast because I just thought it sounded cool lol. Now I've learned a few more rags just as complicated and cool.
Ok, so I've visited this video about 50 times. I listen to it while charting on my patients, while paying bills, while doing my taxes. This has been the background music of my life. I personally play ragtime myself, only Scott Joplin and a few others (I used to have the Black and White and 12th st. rags in my hands). This video has really made me a believer in learning non-scott joplin rags. Again, thanks a million!
@@pequod3782 Can't go wrong with ragtime and healthcare! :) Good luck. Centering your career around helping others is a really good move, and will make you love going to work.
You are so fortunate. I was able to do the same by violin. A medical catastrophic illness ended that. But, it came back as I watched my daughter and son play for me. And they still do. A great piano virtuoso such as you cannot exist without great appreciators of the piano virtuoso. I venture to guess that you bring a smile to the faces of your patients. 😄
What I love about this, aside from the amazing playing, is that he keeps in the mistakes to show that this kind of music is difficult and everyone makes mistakes. It also just gives it character. You’ve earned yourself a new subscriber!

@@SQUAREHEADSAM1912 All of them should be played slower, there's a text on the top of every piece which says "not fast", I think in that video he's playing like this just to make the video shorter
Man this is great ! Some mistakes, sometimes lost totally, but 50 ragtimes in a row like this? I doubt many people can do it. Great job. I learned just Entertainer and Maple Leaf Rag and after a few months I forgot half of those songs... I wonder how u remember everything.
Awesome, I'm trying to honor a request for one of my fans by learning some ragtime. This is perfect with the sheet music too! I like your playing also. Thank you for posting this Wonderful 2.5 hrs of yourself playing this classic RAGTIME.
@just a name Shut the hell up you minuscule piece of nothing ... this person shared a video of him playing TWO HOURS of memorized ragtime pieces ... if you can do the same - do it ... otherwise, shut the hell up.
You are my complete idol. I would kill to be able to play like that…well maybe not kill but I would definitely give up a spare body part like maybe a kidney or a spleen. How many years have u been playing the piano? How long does it take u to learn each song. I am completely utterly amazed, impressed by your playing. I listen to you everyday. My favorites are: entertainers rag, tickled to death, Hungarian rag, coaxing the piano and black and white. I printed out the music but I can only dream. I took lessons when I was 5-14 but……I’m trying. Do you teach piano? How do you play so fast and so accurately? I have watched others playing those songs and no one plays them like you. You are incredible. I Love listening to you play ragtime…my favorite piano music. Thank you for making this video!!!
This is amazing Daniel. How you've managed to cram 50 different rags into your brain and actually play them back to back is beyond insane. Subbed on the spot; this is the kind of quality I look for on youtube. On a different note, I was wondering what kind of equipment you use to record the sound of your piano? It's a very clean, crisp one and I plan on working on a few videos of myself playing on my own channel so I could really use the tips. Cheers man!
I play accordion. After discovering ragtime and especially Scott Joplin, I can't play anything else. Listening to these 50 pieces, almost all by Scott is exciting. Incredible. Excellent!
I can't get tired of this tour de force. I wonder how you prepared it, if you played them all everyday during days, or one by one. Anyway, that's totally unique and doubt that it can be repeated by someone else
My congratulations. Remembering by heart all those rags is quite a feast. But recalling Eubie Black and Scott Joplin, remember that rag may not be played fast. That ought to have meant 4 hours of ragtime playing....for our delight!!
You know how it is, rabbit hole.......I thought you were talented until I read dudes comment you did it without sheet music. Tip of the hat to you my friend. you are gifted.
Really? You are in a select elite. I don't need to see you playing to know it's you. You have your own tone, and the piano you play has amazing sound. I found you randomly. It must be a lucky day. Truly, I'm going to play Lotto today too! Thanks
I am so amazed how long he can sit there and hammer out one complicated measure after another, piece after piece! Been watching the clock in the corner. I haven't seen any skips!
I love your failures. This way seems pretty authentic and to see that is not that 'perfect' gives to it a lot of value and humanity. Thank you for this. Your arms hurt already? Ma Jisus they have to hurt. Amazing job.
Such joyful pieces! Amazing performance! Incredible technique!!! 👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏😅😅😅 It must be so much fun to be able to play them! 😍😍😍 I would not be able to last for such a long time, my concentration span is pretty short especially for technically challenging pieces... 🤣🎹🤣
I hope this Keyboard Therapy worked for you, Daniel. I think you could do a lot worse. Of course, it would be asking too much for this to take care of every difficulty, but at least you have found out that if you apply your attention and energy in a well-focused way, you can effect real change. I should say, real improvement--- things will move out of your way. It worked for Scott Joplin--- his musical ability redeemed a life that was full of too many sorrows. We forget this, after such a remove of time; what we remember about his life is the glory. As I write in March, 2022, the anniversary of his death is just a few days in the future, on April 1; his birthday is not known. Syphilis invaded his brain. Horrible, devastating, but in the teeth of this, he continued to play, at least somewhat. It reminds me that music is not just the little tune that plays in the elevator, but the very heartbeat of life. You've certainly accomplished more than I have, although I'm working on it every day. I'm somewhat like you in that I tend to learn these pieces playing fast, then I have trouble slowing them down to tempo while still retaining accuracy. But there it is, at the top of the page in almost every one of the scored and published pieces: "Do not play this too fast--- it is never right to play ragtime music fast. (Signed) Composer." Easy to say, I suppose
Incredible stamina! Started looking into ragtime recently after ignoring it for several years, and I find it tiresome to let that left hand jump around for 1 or 2 minutes in a row... Feeling the pain at 1:01:05. BUT behold 1:07:50 - man, there's no reason to hide a pause after over an hour of playing =)
You should never play for so long, human beings need to move, create and be active... Here you create, but too much, unperfectly, you should take rest... Too much is never good... Enjoy better, live better...
I really like and prefer your renditions of ragtime pieces. You’ve got a real feeling for them. You don’t just plow through them. I love the sound of your piano! I wonder: did you learn all these pieces from the sheet music or from listening to recordings?
You are very, very good musician/ I am practice with you/ It is lot of fun but it is fundamental WORK/ Thanks also for that/ also for 2:24 and 15 break it down
I don't agree with his tempos, but he's certainly a fine pianist. Joplin said to play his stuff slowly, but as a wild guess, i'd say this was fine in Missouri, but the Harlem Stride pianist may have jazzed the stuff up quite a bit. That's purely a guess on my part.
I loved all of these, but I'd never heard the slower rag pieces before and I really liked them. My favourite was the Hungarian Rag, though. I feel sorry for your hands, though! Ouch. I wish I wasn't tone deaf, it would be nice to be able to play an instrument.
He managed to turn Original Rags into a silly sprinting exercise, with tasteless additions, and to mangle The Entertainer into the shape of a bad joke. Unbearable both (and I am by no means a purist!!!), so I simply bailed out.
Not only do i stand absolutely stunned at your memory and piano playing skills, i also admire your hands' stamina. My forearms usually start aching a few minutes after i try playing anything fast and i have to rest them a bit. But I guess it gets better the more you play. Anyway, this is absolutely epic and i like to listen to this often, whether it is playing videogames or studying. It's so long that its replayability is almost infinite.
Cela me faut chaud au coeur d'entendre cela, j'épluché mes patates, tout en regardant ta prestation (ca fait plaisir ce que tu joues), et comme toi, j'ai buché sur le ragtime, ce qui est marrant c'est qu'on à les mêmes soucies sur certains morceaux, pas facile, et un gros gg ! Après livré de jouer comme on veut le jeu de cette liberté que nous à donné Scott Joplin =) L'art de s'amuser à démultiplier les notes sur un morceaux avant tout pour se faire plaisir =) La qualité de ta présentation est super =), Je suis organiste et lié à des choses ou l'ereure n'est pas permise. Mon dieu si on pouvait jouer du ragtime sur les choses rigoureuses de la vie avec du ragtime, cela simplifierai les choses ^^ Le ragtime permet de dépoussiérer bien des choses, je tente de le faire sur du JS.bach, et sur du Tigran Hamasian, ^^ j'essaye de bosser sur des sujets simples.
It's a wonderful concert, i.e. performance but no sense of this hurry, this is not a racing against stopwatch. Slower would be more entertaining with less mistakes and more according to the original ragtime classic mode of play. Nevertheless I admire your endeavour,!
Not to take away from this guy's skill, but less frenetic tempi allowing for a little more expression would have sounded much better. Many Ragtime compositions, especially those of Joseph Lamb needed a lot of expression.
Hey there is a rag that I don't know the name and I've been searching for it for years would you want to email me and I can hum you a few bars and you can use your Ragtime knowledge to tell me which one it is? I went through every single one of these ones and it's not any of those . Let me know 👍

Awesome comment. I have wanted to learn piano since I was in high school to play rag time. Now I just make computer sound music lol love this 🔥🍻

Oh my gosh, I play video games a lot and I feel the need to scratch my nose or whatever is itchy like every 5 minutes.
He does so at 56:41 already. No endurance =D

You're the "Rag Man". A little too fast but very enjoyable.
You can slow it down in "settings."

Am absolutely dumbfounded!! Put it supposedly as a background music and here I am watching you know...dumbfounded! Brother YOU RAG!!!

I love rag time music!😍👌
本当にラグタイムが好きです！聞いてるだけで楽しくなります！
Where's the sign "Don't shoot the pianist" ???
You are A.M.A.Z.I.N.G! Love ragtime
I can’t even imagine how much your fingers must be cramping during/after this! Respect, my dude ❤️
Awesome playing, you do some nice dynamics that make the pieces shine.
PS this needs way more views than it has. Let's get it watched some more.
Sub on the spot. I CANNOT believe this. 1 year, 50 rags, 2 and a half hours of risking not hitting record XD. Fave my comment please.
Such joyful pieces! Amazing performance! Incredible technique!!! 👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏😅😅😅 It must be so much fun to be able to play them! 😍😍😍 I would not be able to last for such a long time, my concentration span is pretty short especially for technically challenging pieces... 🤣🎹🤣
This guy Ragtimes.
Incredible
You're awesome
I hope this Keyboard Therapy worked for you, Daniel. I think you could do a lot worse. Of course, it would be asking too much for this to take care of every difficulty, but at least you have found out that if you apply your attention and energy in a well-focused way, you can effect real change. I should say, real improvement--- things will move out of your way. It worked for Scott Joplin--- his musical ability redeemed a life that was full of too many sorrows. We forget this, after such a remove of time; what we remember about his life is the glory. As I write in March, 2022, the anniversary of his death is just a few days in the future, on April 1; his birthday is not known. Syphilis invaded his brain. Horrible, devastating, but in the teeth of this, he continued to play, at least somewhat. It reminds me that music is not just the little tune that plays in the elevator, but the very heartbeat of life.
You've certainly accomplished more than I have, although I'm working on it every day. I'm somewhat like you in that I tend to learn these pieces playing fast, then I have trouble slowing them down to tempo while still retaining accuracy. But there it is, at the top of the page in almost every one of the scored and published pieces: "Do not play this too fast--- it is never right to play ragtime music fast. (Signed) Composer." Easy to say, I suppose
Incredible stamina!
Started looking into ragtime recently after ignoring it for several years, and I find it tiresome to let that left hand jump around for 1 or 2 minutes in a row...
Feeling the pain at 1:01:05.
BUT behold 1:07:50 - man, there's no reason to hide a pause after over an hour of playing =)
You should never play for so long, human beings need to move, create and be active... Here you create, but too much, unperfectly, you should take rest... Too much is never good... Enjoy better, live better...
Man I wish I could play all the Scott Joplin ragtime music as well as this.
Practice man :)
I really like and prefer your renditions of ragtime pieces. You’ve got a real feeling for them. You don’t just plow through them. I love the sound of your piano! I wonder: did you learn all these pieces from the sheet music or from listening to recordings?
Excellent. Just the sort of entertainment we need now. Congratulations on spending your free time learning all this marvelous music.
You are very, very good musician/ I am practice with you/ It is lot of fun but it is fundamental WORK/ Thanks also for that/ also for 2:24 and 15 break it down
How many hours do you practice the piano a day?
We know it can be at least 2 hrs a day.

I don't agree with his tempos, but he's certainly a fine pianist. Joplin said to play his stuff slowly, but as a wild guess, i'd say this was fine in Missouri, but the Harlem Stride pianist may have jazzed the stuff up quite a bit. That's purely a guess on my part.
I loved all of these, but I'd never heard the slower rag pieces before and I really liked them. My favourite was the Hungarian Rag, though. I feel sorry for your hands, though! Ouch.
I wish I wasn't tone deaf, it would be nice to be able to play an instrument.
He managed to turn Original Rags into a silly sprinting exercise, with tasteless additions, and to mangle The Entertainer into the shape of a bad joke. Unbearable both (and I am by no means a purist!!!), so I simply bailed out.
I celebrate every mistake in your playing. That shows me that you are only human!
You play incredibly well! And you have an unearthly condition.
YOU ARE MAGNIFICENT!!!!!I LOVE IT..I LOVE IT..THE BEST EVER!!!! I need a Ragtime teacher with simple arrangements though..like reall real simple!!!!
Not only do i stand absolutely stunned at your memory and piano playing skills, i also admire your hands' stamina. My forearms usually start aching a few minutes after i try playing anything fast and i have to rest them a bit. But I guess it gets better the more you play. Anyway, this is absolutely epic and i like to listen to this often, whether it is playing videogames or studying. It's so long that its replayability is almost infinite.
My deepest respect, Daniel.
Thank you so much!! This video helped me sleep multiple nights!! Thank you!! (Also, how in the world are you playing two hours straight??)
Well played but much too fast, why the rush? Remember what Joplin said about never playing ragtime fast?
A ragtime compilation that actually includes wall street rag? Instantly liked 😎

Cela me faut chaud au coeur d'entendre cela, j'épluché mes patates, tout en regardant ta prestation (ca fait plaisir ce que tu joues), et comme toi, j'ai buché sur le ragtime, ce qui est marrant c'est qu'on à les mêmes soucies sur certains morceaux, pas facile, et un gros gg ! Après livré de jouer comme on veut le jeu de cette liberté que nous à donné Scott Joplin =)
L'art de s'amuser à démultiplier les notes sur un morceaux avant tout pour se faire plaisir =)
La qualité de ta présentation est super =), Je suis organiste et lié à des choses ou l'ereure n'est pas permise.
Mon dieu si on pouvait jouer du ragtime sur les choses rigoureuses de la vie avec du ragtime, cela simplifierai les choses ^^
Le ragtime permet de dépoussiérer bien des choses, je tente de le faire sur du JS.bach, et sur du Tigran Hamasian, ^^ j'essaye de bosser sur des sujets simples.
It's a little bit fast honestly...Incredible work! Impressive and nice design!
It's a wonderful concert, i.e. performance but no sense of this hurry, this is not a racing against stopwatch. Slower would be more entertaining with less mistakes and more according to the original ragtime classic mode of play. Nevertheless I admire your endeavour,!
Awesome...
Just awesome
The Entertainer is totally spoiled :( Great job anyway!
Not to take away from this guy's skill, but less frenetic tempi allowing for a little more expression would have sounded much better.
Many Ragtime compositions, especially those of Joseph Lamb needed a lot of expression.
Impressive 👍
Please tell me what kind of piano this is - the manufacturer and if it plays like a regular upright (keys)?
Hey there is a rag that I don't know the name and I've been searching for it for years would you want to email me and I can hum you a few bars and you can use your Ragtime knowledge to tell me which one it is? I went through every single one of these ones and it's not any of those . Let me know 👍
Ragtime, Stride, Boogie Woogie, R'n'Roll simply are the best music. Besides all the other best music.
an inspiration. watching this again a year after my first watch
Merci de France!!
