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!
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. 😄
@@pequod3782 You play a lot of tempo is faster than it needs to be. You are picking up speed., and after a while all melodies start to sound the same. Joplin didn't play so fast. His recordings may often be fast, purely because In that day it was a limited to how much they could get them onto the scroll. So he played some very fast so he could purely to fit them on. When playing live at jazz venues ,clubs in New Orleans, as there was no need to be quick , many were much calmerr than this,, not so rushed.
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!

@@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
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!
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!
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.
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!!
Im listening to this to 1.25x playback speed (sorry Scott) and it makes me focus on my tasks. Thank you for your endurance and insane talent playing these tunes for us! Respect!
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.
Don't have to tell you how talented you are. I am going to bet that your mom made you take piano lessons, instead of baseball or soccer. I could be wrong - but you have a gift, and thank you for sharing it with us. Wish I could be as productive when I am bored!
@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.
This music is better than any anything you could ever take. I am sitting here listening, and I have the biggest, dumbest grin on my face! Thank you so much Daniel. My daughter was born with the same gift as you. I know your mother was so proud and so happy. I know she was. 🤗 Because she knew you had it.
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.
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.
Goodness 😀💕 why did I find this at 3:00 AM 😅 I found a huge Ragtime piano book for $1 at the library sale this week. Great work 👍👏 Saving this video for reference.
Wow! Outstanding playing! I'm 64 years old and just started 3 months ago trying to teach myself piano (can't afford lessons) and I have a little $150 electric keyboard from Target stores to learn on. I know it would take me 150 years to play like this! Ragtime is my favorite. Anyway, Outstanding job man. Keep on playing!
Something else. I’d love to attend a black church service. Unfortunately my days of travel are behind me. But they so enjoy themselves. I have a CD & I refer to it as “the big black ladies belting it out”. & it’s contagious. You can’t not shake your booty!
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.
ive only recently got into ragtime and why are all the pieces so cool. i cant even imagine the joy of playing them think id break the keys playing out of excitement
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!!!
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.
Még mindig az egyik legjobb! Kösz az erőfeszítéseidért! Az állóképesség minden képzeletet felülmúl... A Zez Confrey darabjai nagyon megállják a helyemet! Ugyanúgy minden más darab... csak így tovább :)
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
Thank you for including the score and sheets of music. It makes it that much more rich to see your video of amazing playing!! Way to go, very impressive!
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!
My favorite 30 seconds are 1:14:07 - 1:14:39. The first run through the theme is awesome! It sounds like you heard an orchestration of The Nightingale Rag for piano 4 hands and played it by yourself. Of course, the sheet music has about half of the notes you played.
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 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.
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?

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 🔥🍻
You gotta be a hardcore piano player to play 2 whole hours of what is already considered to be a hard genre to play.
I could play almost every single rag I can.

gonna listen to this video while pumping out a whole essay and another project in one night, wish me luck🤞
1:44:20 Finally a chance to scratch his nose.
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
56:30
I found before.... 38:21
who will stare at him for so long, are you guys still human?
that's incredible how you can remember all those. mad respect my dude. mad respect.
I know and I have a hard time just memorizing one of the songs
maybe he's playing along to tunes on the headphones
Normally it’s not memorizing every note it’s just muscle memory
Quite right !!!
@@metamaggot even if he does tracks still have to be memorized
Without boredom, the world would be a boring place!
Imagine his camera turned off and he had to record this again...
That's what a marathon not in sports, but in music looks like!

Maple Leaf Rag has always been one of my favorite Scott Joplin tunes and you did it perfectly. You really know how to play these songs.
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!
This brought tears to my eyes especially when you faltered and started again. It reminded me of my husband practising. He died last year.

Thanks to you I finally found out what song was printed on a picture I have. It's Pineapple Rag!
Is there no limit in human memory but only a few people knew about it, thanks daniel to show us the way.
You can just hear this is an old western bar and then a whole shootout takes place. In other words, this is amazing.
Ragtime, Stride, Boogie Woogie, R'n'Roll simply are the best music. Besides all the other best music.
You're the "Rag Man". A little too fast but very enjoyable.
You can slow it down in "settings."
yes he is great but his mistakes in maple leaf rags killed me. overall great video though
Majic8ball that was an hour in! Still decent for that much time playing.
Rag is fast tho🤔
@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.

That was really good playing man! I could never play ragtime for 2 hours, I think my arms would eventually fall off. This really needs more views!
A ragtime compilation that actually includes wall street rag? Instantly liked 😎
Think i watch this video every few month😂 hope you are safe wherever you are daniel :D!!
Highly impressive, 2 and a half hours of playing!
This performance by such a young man you are to be congratulated hundred times over. Thank you for posting. Greetings from Canada, 2020.
Super love this! I listen to this often while I'm working. Helps with concentration! Thank you!
How the hell do you only have not even 1000 subscribers.. Dude.. Maestro!!
Am absolutely dumbfounded!! Put it supposedly as a background music and here I am watching you know...dumbfounded! Brother YOU RAG!!!
Daniel, you the man! I ain’t seen anybody other Scott Joplin, play the Stride this accurate before! Keep it up and the world will be happier for it!
30:15 sheet annotations say "Panic in Wall Street, Brokers feeling melancholy"... lol, over a century later and still relevant
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.

it shouldn't really hurt your arms if your have good posture... and over working muscles are easily recoverable
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!!!!

ive only recently got into ragtime and why are all the pieces so cool. i cant even imagine the joy of playing them think id break the keys playing out of excitement
Brother I hope you are still playing the piano. Your talent and your dedication are unique! Good job!
I appreciate you allowing me to listen. I love this style of music. And you are very talented. Thank you
Please come to Japan again ！！🥰 We'll be waiting for your visit sincerely 😘 I love you all ！
I can’t even imagine how much your fingers must be cramping during/after this! Respect, my dude ❤️
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!!!
You are A.M.A.Z.I.N.G! Love ragtime
I think that your tempos are sometimes too fast to savor the music, but I'm awfully impressed by your performances overall. Thank you so much.
That what makes UA-cam great, you can click the settings Gear ⚙️ and pick a playback speed you like, Warning 1.5x is just so FUN.
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.
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.
Ce qui est génial avec les oeuvres de scott joplin c'est qu'il y en à tant x D ♥
I love rag time music!😍👌
Még mindig az egyik legjobb! Kösz az erőfeszítéseidért! Az állóképesség minden képzeletet felülmúl...
A Zez Confrey darabjai nagyon megállják a helyemet! Ugyanúgy minden más darab... csak így tovább :)
😂👌🙏
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 really enjoyed listening to the 12th street rag here
Thank you for including the score and sheets of music. It makes it that much more rich to see your video of amazing playing!! Way to go, very impressive!
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!
thank you! I used audacity for recording the sound and a simple jack cable to connect the piano with my laptop.
マークさんとご飯食べてた方だ！
My favorite 30 seconds are 1:14:07 - 1:14:39. The first run through the theme is awesome! It sounds like you heard an orchestration of The Nightingale Rag for piano 4 hands and played it by yourself. Of course, the sheet music has about half of the notes you played.
It is awesome.
Thanks for your efforts.
I'm from South Korea.
Perfect music to listen to all day. Thanks.
Come back from my first visit 4 years ago. I was using this as the background music for studying lol.
Merci de France!!
Outstanding.
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... 🤣🎹🤣
Man I wish I could play all the Scott Joplin ragtime music as well as this.
Practice man :)
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！
Nothing is impossible, - now that I have heard him play, I am convinced! Awesome feat, rekindles my enthusiasm for rag time.
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.
You have an amazing command of these rags.
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?
This guy Ragtimes.
Congratulations ! You are a really freaky incredible memory monster !!!!!
Thanks! I think it's more about enthusiasm than brain capacity
@@danielsthings 👍 🙂
