I am a Scott Joplin expert, and I want to say that this early French Baroque translatilon of Joplin's 'Solace' is EXQUISITE, breathtaking, stunningly beautiful. I commend you most highly~!!
Thanks for your kind words! This is a bit different Joplin, a great melancholic piece of music, we did play it slower then usual, and enjoyed it a lot!
I see in a reply that you say it's played slower than usual, but I think this is a piece that lends itself perfectly to a range of tempos. The secret is to maintain its habanera rhythm. They actually made it "dance" at a slower tempo, which is in keeping with what Joplin wanted I think. And I love it when the last section is repeated at two different intensities - either loud-soft or vice-versa - this did it a bit, but I think it certainly could have been more. And I'm not quite sure how someone called this an early French Baroque translation...?
Do you have an email address that I can contact you to get the music for this arrangement? It is one of my favorites by Scott Joplin, and this arrangement is beautifully done!
Here's a version that does what I described about the last 2 times through - arranged for another type of quartet: ua-cam.com/video/NjFmxVUXl74/v-deo.html
@@NellieKAdaba concert pianist never perform Joplin and the regs are written for piano but orchestras string quartets and violinist and pianist with them and play them classical pianist are losing a lot of money by not including Scott Joplin in their repertoire
Lovely arrangement. This wonderful Joplin tune suits a string quartet so beautifully.
I think he'd be so pleased with this.
Played with great sensitivity but never maudlin They bring out the poignancy and unparalleled beauty of Joplin's best piece Bravo!

Laurentiu, is this your own arrangement? Would you be willing to share it?
Yes and yes. look for me on fb, we speak there.
Fantastic but it seems like all classical musicians play Joplin except for classical pianists
It depends on the pianists.
