In this recording I use the harmonic pedal (only) in resonance half-position. The harmonic pedal was invented by Denis de la Rochefordière.

Notice how chill and relaxed his hands are
And the song is like ur so late for work
Probably because he can play way harder pieces! For example the Chopin Etudes really stretch you hands
@@thegodfather1499 nope. It's the his finger setting technique. But his attitude towards the piece shows through his playing here. In a sense that does reflect in the video to your example of this piece vs. Chopin etudes.
@@Ianthe22 no one cares. Say all you want
@@MyHealthyPlate_recipes apparently you did enough to reply...
the best version i have heard so far because it avoids over-interpretation.

what's overinterpretation?
@@selladore4911 like trying too hard to make the piece ‘your own’ if that makes sense. by doing things like using too much rubato (slowing down for interpretative purposes) or using weird phrasing, just anything like that in an attempt to make your interpretation unique, but then it ends up being too much/sounding forced, which is what over interpretation is
@@6894q got it
Paul played this pretty much EXACTLY as written.
Wow .. this reminds me of my mother .. she used to -play all of Joplins rags. She was the soul of the party, she could get everyone laughing and dancing. Folks would be holding their sides, tears rolling down their faces in fits of laughter as she sang and played the "Laughing Policeman". Such wonderful memories! My mom could sure make that piano move when playing.
oh wow aw
Ty for sharing
That was Mrs. Mills! LoL!
My goodness both his hand are so relaxed makes me think I have a lot more to work on my tense fingers
i think its something you get after playing a song many many times, when you know it well and you feel confident playing it your hands stop being tense and start dancing softly on the keys
@@izzy8655 👍 youre right, just practise
@@cdllc1956 no way its the real Beethoven
@@tibasproductions7267 I am
You have to use arm weight but keep a firmness to your hands so they don't just flop around and get sloppy.
Thank you for playing this at a balanced tempo and as written. More Joplin would be welcome.
I move my left hand in the same way, when i clean the table.
Well then go play the song!

@@Prod.Protonic :I
That's actually easy. The hard part of this song is, that the left hand plays a simple rythm 1 - 2 - 3 - 4, but the right hand plays 1.5 - 2 - 2.5 - 3 - 3.5 - 4.5 and then 1 - 1.5 - 2 - 2.5 - 3.5 - 4 - 4.5 . To catch this timing right with both hand together is super tricky and even a metronome doesn't help much here.
@@jiriurban5772 youre right! But you can learn it
I aspire to play someday like you
Good on you!
Scott Joplin said that ragtime should not be played fast.
I think you got the exact tempo the wanted them to be played in, good job!
1:55 to 2:05 is really giving trouble with learning and playing up to tempo. Watching this video allowed me to see how to play it! It helped me a lot.
To watch something so beautiful, played so effortlessly is pure genius.
I very much enjoy your technical accuracy. Another great performance as always.
I like it a lot that the left hand syncopates with the march 2-step rhythm once in this piece (played twice) in the trio part at 2:00 and 2:20, and that the right hand plays the march 2-step instead.
* bar fight intensifies *
Anywhow, I love the articulation =)
Ah give me the mind to think what is happening in the bar the song makes me think
Wonderful! I have been struggling with the simpler version but this one ....the way you play it is simply fascinating....I think the elephant would enjoy it too... running the risk that it might make all the seismographs in the area go crazy if it decides to dance to the rhythm!!!
Another flawless performance. Great work.
I've heard many people play this, but this is by far the best interpretation I've heard. Something about the voicing makes this sound so nice. Another great video, Paul :)
Cool cat! The right hand melody was played so crisply.
clear like crystal ! Fantastic.
Yass... I've been waiting for this!
Ottima interpretazione. Senza variazioni di stile . Grazie per averci reso partecipi di questo capolavoro. Bravissimo.
Thank you for showing the score while playing - very helpful for a learner.
Wow, what an amazing performance. I really enjoyed how steady you played it. Great job....
Very clean performance. Right-on tempo.
Elegantly played
One of the best renditions!
BLESS YOU FOR THE SHEET MUSIC !!
Good Morning , Paul Barton - Thank you so much for sharing this very inspiring music with everybody ! May God Richly bless you and keep them all , God bless you all 💙🙏

I love how the piece swings
Lovely hand independence
Bravo! My favorite Joplin by my favorite UA-cam performer!
It makes me happy😊
Paul, you always play this piece so well. But I really think your previous recent video of this with the little riffs included is the better of the two. Those riffs just somehow tie everything together. The tune sounds more complete with them in there. Joplin knew what he was doing by including these!
That piano roll wasn't Joplin's work.
An excellent performance! I tried learning that piece years ago, but I found the left hand too difficult for my skill level, especially in the trio section.
Que maravilha... simplesmente fenomenal, obrigado por compartilhar, vai ajudar muito meu desenvolvimento no piano! Ganhou mais um inscrito😎🎹
i will try this piece, how awesomely you play🥺
Nicely played, sir. Thank you
Как всегда: чудесная Музыка и прекрасное исполнение! Спасибо!
He plays very nicely, but I notice that he is adding another E flat octave in measure 4 every time through the first section.
Thank you sir
very easy looking, and high quality sound.
thanks a lot.
That's the most attractive version of maple leaf I have ever heard
Hey Paul, any plans on doing any Rachmaninoff or Liszt any time soon? I'd love to hear your approach to some of the more popular pieces such as Rach's Piano Concerto no 2 mov 1 or La Campanella.
I'd love to hear his Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2
The Maple Leaf Rag is popular
Beautiful as always!
Absolutely sensational!
I really love this song.
Wow!
This looks/sounds incredibly fun to play!
soo tru my g
It is!
Koselig pianomusikk som jeg blir glad å lytte til 🎶🎵🎶🎹🎹😊
I really like this rendition
Beautifully played! Congrats my friend!
Excellent. A+
Une fois, je suis allé à un récital de piano où on a joué du Ravel, du Debussy, du Satie et du Joplin. En regardant mieux le programme j'ai réalisé avec étonnement que l'oeuvre la plus ancienne jouée ce soir là était celle de Joplin!
Very clean. My only note is that it would be more representative of the style of the left hand was slightly louder, but other than that it was perfect.
Great performance. I love this 😃
I learned a lot. im training this song just now.
Gracias Paul por ese aporte,siempre te sigo,es una Pieza que podría compararla hasta con Chopin.Saludos desde Venezuela.
Awesome performance
Amazing... Thanx for this video 🙂
Amazing!
Interprétation magnifique, quel merveilleux pianiste êtes vous, vous jouez avec une telle facilité que cela fait rêver ! merci que du bonheur !
THIS IS MY FAVORITE PIANO SONG!! 2:25 I love this part
Incredible Video!!!
Este estilo de Música empezó en estudios como el #49 el Op.740 de Czerny y el 39# del Op.337 de Czerny
Wow Paul Barton, you make all the piano pieces you play seem so easy; your playing is wonderful! Thanks for all your uploads.
Wow clean and pleasant!
Thank you
Very good
This was "rock'n roll in Joplin 's day.
Lhe falta um pouco de alegria pois éssa música deve ser tocada de forma alegre
That was so cool
유툽서 자주듣던 배경음악
Wow! Sounds so much better when played by a real pro as opposed to beginner me
THAT was fun!!!
Is there a reason for the "unsanctioned" repetition of the E-flat chord in BAR 4?
yes. sounds nice
I've been curious about that myself.
I can do the the others but the “Trio” part is irritating.
relatable
Buddy The Dog im not a music genius but I think that part can be played with many instruments preferably 3. I think there is another meaning for it tho.
It really is. I'm learning this for a studio recital and I somehow keep messing up my fingering for the first few measures of this trio. I can play everything else fine, though.
@Buddy The Dog "Trio" is an italian word that means "three". With "trio" you refer to a group of three people/instrumentalists. But, instead, the "Trio" in the Maple Leaf Rag is an interlude, a piece inside a piece.
@@francescoc But it sounds like 3 instruments because the left hand is playing two melodies at the same time (and the right hand is playing the 3rd one)
Flawless
Bravo...!
Thank you ! I was waiting for this too ! Any other ragtime ?
Beautiful !
Is there some piano piece you can't play ?
Lovely performance, Paul, I challenge anyone to sit still while listening to this!.
Paul, I was first attracted to your wonderful, loving elephant "serenades", but then grew to appreciate your piano talents apart from that. I grew up listening to my Mom playing rags by Scott Joplin, who in my opinion was an underappreciated genius.
Are you familiar with William Bolcom's three "Ghost Rags", Graceful Ghost Rag, Poltergeist, and Dream Shadows? If not, I urge you to check them out; they are an absolute delight! And quite challenging, as I have heard. Thank you for your videos, especially those with your charming daughter Emilie.
so cool!!!!
Puzzling to keep hearing that extra Eb in the right hand on measure 4. The articulation on page 2 is unique, almost like it’s a baroque piece. That ritardando at the end doesn’t seem right either. Should be more abrupt.
yeah that's just a paul thing XD
Very interesting to hear a classical maestro play ragtime.
And play it as it should be played!
Super!!!!👏👏👏👏
Great!!!
Спасибо за игру и за ноты
Nice
Eu gosto dessa música mais rápida, então acelerei para 1,25x.
I'm finding the Trio very difficult esp the left hand. Any advice welcome.
With the trio the most difficult part is that damned arpeggio. You could try playing it as an octave phrase which takes some more bouncing around but you don't need to use 4 fingers, only 2. I can barely do it and I just ignore it for the most part. The long jumps are muscle memory, do them slowly and get the feel for swinging your hand down low and then get up to speed as you get more accurate.
Coo!
Magnificent! 👏👏
At 2:20 in the third and fourth quaver why don't you play the E note in Right Hand? I'm trying to learn the fingering from this video and hence the question. Great video otherwise!
Ideally and without any extras:) Thanks for the performance) Paul, did you ever think about playing Rakhmaninoff's musical moment op.16 no.4? It would be very interesting to hear your performance.
Can you tell me where the link is that I can get the music?
bravissimo
Hi Paul you should do the Chopin ecossaises
Left hand takes quite a beating in the initial stages of learning this. Otherwise a great piece! Well played!
No, it does not take any beating. Matter of fact, this one is one of the easier pieces performance-wise. That's ragtime for you, duh!
@@mitcherny6965 Not everyone is as great as you, Professor...
Very well done! I have also mastered the song and I am very impressed by how accurate your left had is in section C! That section is not easy to get right, VERY well done. One thing that may or may not make the performance better would be to hold the swing slightly more in the chord progressions specifically in parts A and B. This is not necessary, it just comes down to personal preference. the only question I have is how long did it take for you to fully master the song? It took me about a month and a half and I want to know how I would compare to others and again, Very Nice!
this transition hits me in the feels knowing how life was like for Scott Joplin 2:20
Beautifully played. However, am I right in thinking that you're playing an extra note which isn't in the score? You can hear it at 0.14 seconds (and where that part repeats)
I heard this too! It doesn't fit the piece, because it syncopates too statically compared to the exact same syncopation that follows in the next measure, which is where it should be.
@@ErikHuizinga true. The main thing is it’s not in the music score! 🙂
0:09 Start
Them 1815 bops
1899 you doofus xD
