very nice
Wowweeee!!!!! You are a master pianist!!!!!!!!!
Wonderful!
You’re so talented! I want to practice this on my friends piano 🎹!
You play it perfectly!
Thank you.
I'm a 70-year old fourth year piano student. Last week my piano teacher handed me my lesson book and said she had assigned a new piece to me, but she didn't want me to know what it was until I got home. This was it. I almost fainted when I saw the sheet music. I'm hammering it out (very slowly) and am enjoying the learning process. When I grow up, I want to play Maple Leaf Rag just like you do!
I'm so impressed that you are taking on this challenge at 70 and arrived at this point after only 4 years of lessons. I think you might have a future in music, son ;-). Good for you!
Thanks! You will do!
This is wonderful, I hope you're still going strong ❤️
Yes! Go for it! For years I only could play the first and second parts but baulked at learning part three. However, I am so glad I eventually did learn it because it is SUCH fun to play. Persevere through all of it, especially part three. You won't regret it. Everything suddenly clicks and you realise that it may be hard to read but one you get into the swing of it, it is not as hard to play as it first seems to be because you begin to recognise the sequence of patterns in the keys you are playing and not the sheet music. Wonderful stuff.
When you grow up?
One of the best performances I’ve heard of this piece: no rushing, clean as a whistle, every note and color coming through. Bravo.
So many thanks!

It’s supposed to be played faster than this though.
I prefer it a little messy for some reason lol. He did good though just different tastes
Bro playing on a steinway ❤
Best performed/played version I have heard. It's so rare to find someone who can play it at the correct "marching" speed and not hammer away on a sprint. Your superb tempo ...with the high quality piano ...you can actually hear each note and its intensity and the pedal ..it seems to hang in the air long enough to hear and visualize each one. Bravo!
Concur
Check out Tom Brier.
You should hear it syncopated if you haven't already. It's looser/swinging beat is probably closer to the way it was actually performed in the saloons Joplin originally played in. Most people who learn it now, including myself play in a classical piano matching time signature but playing it with a swing beat is actually pretty fun but also more challenging.
This *is* syncopated. That’s sort of the point of ragtime.
I agree! Many people play ragtime as if it’s a contest of who can play it the fastest!
One of my all-time favorites. Not rushed as so many players do and the tone of the Steinway is magnificent. Thank you sir for your years of hard work and study as well as the talent to perform for us.
Thank you for your time and interest. Cheers
exactly. I love this tempo. It's crystal clear and wonderful.

Who came After the kreekcraft video
The notes are nice crisp and clear. An excellent performance.
Thank you!😉
@dave4248 Thanks Steinway & Sons...
in tune
I was brought up on the classic Joshua Rifkin recordings, and to my mind Dario's bass accompaniment is just *slightly* too stacatto for my liking. But perhaps I'm being picky. The tempo is just right. The likes of Tom Brier can play Maple Leaf Rag at machine-gun rate (and in every key under the sun) which is a prodigious achievement - but Dario's (and Joshua's) renditions are music.

My first time hearing this song. I love UA-cam and the Internet. I can listen to Ragtime Clasic Rock Spanish Flamenco Mexican. I love all kinds now that I otherwise would never have known.

we gettin roblox sued with this one 🗣🔥🔥🔥
LOL
Perfect tempo. Brilliant. We can hear every note and every nuance of the dynamics. And it's a tempo you can march to and dance to, which was the intention of the ragtime. Most people just murder this piece by playing it far too fast. This was a breath of fresh air, so thank you.
Agreed, it's the perfect tempo!
Oh agreed he got the tempo PERFECT. I can’t stand how people try to play it as fast as possible. I don’t enjoy that at all :/ this is the BEST performance of this song on UA-cam hands down
I love the way this piece is played, I’m currently trying to learn it and always keep coming back to yours for reference, as it’s the best version on the net... sounds fantastic... thank you.
Thank you so much!
This is the way that ragtime should be played. Not too fast with that wonderful base, particularly in the Maple leaf Rag. Thank you once again Dario.
Thank you for wathcing and for the kind compliments!
Actually, the right tempo for this particular piece by Joplin, one of his most fastest ones-we talking about a 2/4 American march tempo, indeed-, is exactly 120 bpm (about 1.25x), which isn't fast at all (like 144 or 152 bpm, for example), but a regular and steady one-listen to the band/orchestra cylinders of that era-. And this isn't just an opinion and a personal one, but the pure application of musical Philology. Also, Rag-Time is music historically written for dancing, not just listening to, as we use to do nowadays. And you can't improvise a lively two-step or cake-walk over a piece this slow. Of course, one person can say he likes this tempo, but saying it's the proper one, too... well, I'm deeply sorry, about this, but History and musical sciences tell us different things. To like one thing doesn't mean that thing's objectively good.
@FinnCraftYT absolutely not, of course: all my adfirmations are just the result of my musical studies and debates with important musicologists like Marcello Piras, who also wrote various essays and articles about Scott Joplin, Rag-Time and Afro-American music in general.
@FinnCraftYT If he did copy and paste that, so what? The vast majority of people posting comments are not anywhere near professional typists and I am quite certain most of us do copy and paste to avoid the agony of trying to properly compose a comment and completely type it out error free.
@@davidelongo6438 There is no objective exact tempo, at least other than what the composer writes the tempo as. Joplin himself did put one one of his pieces (not this one) that "ragtime should never be played too fast".
The sound of that Steinway!
The skill and talent of the musician!
Both!
those fabulous bass strings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Groovy!!!!!!!
It's way too closely miked.
Perfect....clean..crisp as Ragtime is supposed to be. This 90 year old should know : )
I’m sure you’ve lived a full life full
Of many stories to tell.
How many songs did Scott Joplin write?
@@rosemarygeary649 ?
My grandfather, who would be 128 were he still alive, went to New York with an uncle in 1910 and heard Joplin playing at a venue I have not yet discovered. Grandpa was 16 at the time. He was so enthralled by Joplin's piano playing that he bought sheet music for as many pieces as he could find and when he returned he tried to talk my great grandfather into buying a piano. Great Grandpa compromised and bought a player piano and gifted Grandpa some Joplin piano rolls to go with it. Rumor has it that the rolls were cut by Joplin himself though the tubes they originally came in are no longer around so I can't confirm it and there is little useful information printed on the rolls. I remember my grandfather cranking up the player piano, turning a switch and away it went playing this, his favorite song. As little kids we'd dance or sit at the piano and pretend it was us who were making the music. My uncle got the player piano about 50 years ago and my Dad got the rolls. Dad died and I went off to college and when I got back I discovered Mom had relegated them to the landfill as "worthless junk" due to the inability to play them on any modern machine. A few years later I found out that my little brother had rescued them from the trash and kept them in a hidden cache in his bedroom and had forgotten about them until Mom sold the house. He gave them to me as a birthday gift the following winter. I've had them ever since. My point in all this is that this recording here on UA-cam is very close to the piano roll I recall. I've not had access to a player piano in about twenty years but to me, the rolls are worth more than the piano. Hopefully one day I'll find one and hear it again.
@@nunyabiznez6381 Thank you for your invaluable historical testimony on Joplin! I would be very pleased to have, if possible, more details on the Joplin concert of 1910, maybe you could talk to someone from your family (brothers or cousins) who knew about this fact told by your grandfather. I know that Scott Joplin, also to advertise his most recent pieces, used to perform on the piano in music stores where it was possible to buy the sheet music of the piece played on the piano. Maybe your grandfather had gone to listen to him to consider whether to buy the sheet music. Thanks
Love Scott Joplin music, always makes me feel like I’m in a old western saloon.
And it's so sad that saloons and brothels were the only places his music could be appreciated in his early days.
Ragtime wasn't played in old western saloons. That's something Hollywood came up with. Ragtime's era was around 1890 to 1910 and was played mainly in bars in the South.
The reason he was played in the old saloons was the invention of the player piano. Only a few, to this day, could play it properly, thank you for this fine performance.
@@pikachuchujelly7628You literally just described western saloons
@@cia5602 Yeah, saloons are pretty similar to bars and clubs, but the time period, location, and culture surrounding it is different. Ragtime wouldn't have been played in the saloons of the old west, which was the mid 1800s. Its origins are in cities like New Orleans and St Louis during the early 1900s. Ragtime developed mostly from marching music combined with the syncopated rhythms from cakewalk dances.
I've heard several different people play Maple Leaf Rag on UA-cam. So far this the best performance I've heard yet. I also appreciate the Steinway piano and high definition recording equipment you obviously use. Well done, sir.
He played it very well. Most people who play this miss half the notes and make it sound very messy.
I do miss the swing, he doesn't really play it with emotion.
Agreed, it's really nice!!
best of the best
Hello everyone,
today I would like to tell you why I played the Maple Leaf Rag at that speed of execution, also in order to clarify many contrasts of opinions I see among you. It is true, Joplin did not indicate, at the beginning of the score, the metronome beats number, but nevertheless we read "Tempo di marcia" (March Time). We understand that most of the marches in binary time (2/4, 4/4 etc) did not reach high execution speeds, but they were not even too slow. The second factor that convinced me not to go too fast were Scott Joplin's words used in his "School of Ragtime" method, that I would like to share with all of you: "We wish to say here, that the" Joplin ragtime " is destroyed by careless or imperfect rendering, and very often good players lose the effect entirely, by playing too fast
harmonized with the supposition that each note will be played as it is written, as it takes this and also the proper time divisions to complete the sense intended."
Hoping to have been useful I wish you a good listening!
Dario
"Maple Leaf Rag" conveys the feeling of a leisure walk on a sunny and brisk April Sunday morning. You render it beautifully. Bravo!
You version is the only one I can hear on UA-cam. Though other versions have players that have a very good technique, your version is the only one which doesn't make my ears bleed. The others are just too fast and loose all the perfect harmony that this piece has.
Your version is the only one I can hear (;
Thank you for being a professional and true pianist and not a show off like the others.
Amazing!
@@MiSt3300 "...make my ears bleed" An excellent way of expressing discomfort with a particular musical piece! I agree that this piece played in this manner is very comfortable to listen to. If I am not able to distinguish every note and/or instrument then I do not enjoy the music.
Yes, although your's is slower than Joplin's, I have to say, "I feel your version." It's the only piece that I've learned where I actually felt my brain split, working independently. I'm self taught. Thank you. Absolutely beautiful!
That big Steinway really delivers those bass notes the way he wants.
Yes!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
It's very closely miked. A bit too close for my taste.
@@smudger671 As far as I'm concerned,there's no other way than Steinway...
@@jeandesaulniers9711 What's that got to do with being closely miked?
Extraordinary performance. I think you did great honor to Scott Joplin. You should feel proud of carrying this ragtime rhythm in your blood and passing it on to future generations. Congratulations!
I swear I heard this song randomly through my childhood. I don’t remember a single time I willingly chose to listen to this, yet I’ve heard it a million times. I didn’t even know the name of the song
That’s what you call a classic 👏
maybe its from meepcity?

Wow, I love this performance. The amount of pause/slowing just before the new section at 1:48 is perfect! It really lifts and carries the listener on. Thanks for sharing.

Well I’m not exaggerating if I say this is the BEST Maple Leaf Rag interpretation I ever heard. Perfect from every point of view - tempo, precision, dynamics, clearness, recording quality, piano sound (this Steinway is truly appropriate for this piece). Thank you, grazie!
Grazie a te Francesco!
Agree 100%. I especially enjoy the tempo - it's the best for toe-tapping!
YES! But to be honest, it is a top line Steinway Grand and was never really intended to be performed on such instruments, LOL! Yes, I agree it's awesome.
I have to admit it: This is the best MLR I've ever heard! Not a single embellishment. Not too fast. To prove you're human I caught a single slipped note at 2:57. Absolutely fabulous. Thanks for posting.
Thank you

I've only ever heard this played quicker, but I think I prefer this tempo. You have more time to appreciate little textural ripples that fly by otherwise. Very crisp.
The version played by Joplin himself clocks in at 2:46, but I like this tempo better, maybe because the joy lasts longer!
@@CorePathway Joplin never recorded this tune.
This is the best version on the Internet. Wonderfully played!
Thank you very much!!
For sure, Super clean and neat!!
I have listened to many versions of this on UA-cam and this is by far my favourite. I love the tempo, the precision and the quality of the sound. So many of the others seem rushed.
That's because they are.
This is the only version I've found that plays at the proper original speed in high quality, thanks so much for making this.
I was raised to believe this was the "correct" way to play this, with very square march-like rhythm and tempo. But I recently heard an old piano roll recording of Joplin himself playing the piece, and was surprised to hear lots of "swinging eighths" in his rendition and even some blue notes. It sounded "wrong" to my ear, but I suspect that was the more common way ragtime was actually performed, with square tempo in the left hand juxtaposed with swinging syncopation in the right hand. Of course, this eventually evolved into "stride" style.
If you heard Scott Joplin play his own music in a different way than we hear it now, for me that’s the way it should be played - since he wrote it!!! I’d love to hear the original - wonder if it can be found online somewhere?
Joplin's piano roll? HAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA, YOU GOT FOOLED TOO XDDDDD That's not Joplin's roll
"The Maple Leaf will make me the king of ragtime composers" - Scott Joplin
Scott, you are the king. You will always be the king. Not even one person in a hundred could name any of the others. I sure can't.
For me, Tom Brier comes extremely close
@@EwanGamingnintendoclubcouk really close, he literally reads sheet music in one stare lol
This was the first-ever million-selling song. Available as sheet music, piano rolls, and Victrola cylanders. Crazy!
This came out in 1899. Just for perspective, that was the year Duke Ellington was born.
I want the maple leaf rag played at my funeral!!😊 Because I won't be able to do it myself!!😅😅!
Listening in May, 2023.. An excellent performance. Perfect. I love Scott Joplin.Great.
thank you for playing it with straight time as it was intended, rather than dotted quarter note time....ragtime is closer to Bach than jazz in my opinion...
Yes I agree with you. Cheers

Superb! This is the best I've heard!

You take your time to enjoy the ride, and I love the humor in your phrasing! To me it almost sounds like old friends reminiscing about their times together - reliving the moments and laughing! I just love this!!
Un interpretazione perfetta come tempo ritmica sfumature di suono di un brano famoso non facile da capire e rendere nello spirito dell'epoca senza farsi travolgere come spesso accade da eccessi di velocità a discapito della qualità
1:49 It’s just so satisfying and empowering when the piano kicks in with full force. Excellent cover mate.
exciting !
I think this is the best rendition I have heard.
Joplin says on most of scores ' do not play ragtime fast'. Unfortunately it was taken up by the early jazz bands and ' jazzed' up destroying it's inherently elegant character. Wonderful to hear this tag played correctly as this one is more abused than most
Bro was to mad at meet city. got sued for this lol

Thank you for sharing your wonderful talent. My mother is dead now, but I remember when I was growing up I would hear piano music in the middle of the night. I'd come upstairs to the music room. I'd see mom playing without any lights on in the room. She she was feeling sad or stressed, she'd play from memory songs that she had learned when she was younger. One of those was the Maple Leaf Rag.
I close my eyes as I listen to your performance and I can see her--fifty years ago. Memories are incredible things. Thank you for that memory.

I truly enjoyed this performance. It is genuinely a celebration of this marvelous piece, not just a chance for the pianist to show off. Thank you, Mr. Ronchi.
Amazing to think Joplin wrote his rags on a basic upright piano! What would he have thought listening to it played on a grand piano?? It's a shame really but great credit to ronchi and marvin hamlisch for keeping his music alive today!! Most of today's artist's are plonkers who can't even read a note 🎵 of music and use the piano as a prop!! True ragtime will never die because of Scott Joplin, simple.❤❤😊😊!

Most Steinway & Sons concert pianos can play this without the help of a human. Dario, I speak in jest of course, your playing is nothing short of phenomenal. Brilliant tempo, flawless. I love this song and will be looking from you. :)
In fact, it was a phenomenal experience like driving a Ferrari. Thanks for the compliments, they're very welcome
@@Dario_Ronchi Just Fantastic your beautiful sounding performance Dario of Scott Joplin's Maple Leaf Rag. I just had to hear your performance over and over again. Thank you Graci!
Thank you for not putting "swing" into it like a lot of artists do. Ragtime doesn't need swing.
I agree with you!
Cheers
Andre. Watts. Pianist. Plays. Listz
Scott Joplin himself put swing in it, you’re both wrong, he wrote it to be swung, find an original recording of him playing it you’ll see
I think it sounded nice and yes I agree, it's nice that he didn't add the OVERLY strong swing. A little wold have added a touch more flair.
there isn't really a "should" and "shouldn't" in terms of things like that (including tempo), it all just depends on how you yourself wish to express what you're playing, which is the direction that a big part of music culture was headed towards at that time anyway
you'd of course still be entitled to an opinion that playing with a such a tempo and without swing is better than other variations or that swing is essential and is the best-sounding, but it'd by no means be the "correct" one
I just found this (I'm always late to the party) ASTOUNDING !!! the dynamics and sensitivity combined with graceful interpretation (just amazing) giving new life to this piece
Truly Master Work Sir Dario
Perfection!
Absolute perfection, played to utter perfection! Joplin is outstanding, one of the greatest composers for the pianoforte!!!!👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌
He was so brilliant. He should be amongst the most celebrated of African Americans!
Small mistake in 2:58? Anyway, sounds great.

me bruh this song is ayse
So beautifully played with feeling. So many people just to try show off how fast they can get through it. Brilliant and inspiring to this novice pianist.
Thanks!
i displayed my favorite transition in my latest video on ragtime. But i have to say this transition right here is LEGENDARY 2:04
Dude that part ALWAYS sounded so awkward for me whenever I’ve played it. This video helped me soooooooooooo much with playing it.
@@KevinScottFries If your practicing a piece, listening to it consistently in your free time will help improve in your playing. If you know what it sounds like, it gives you more understanding
I don’t know if you people will understand me, but if I move the speed up to 1.25. It becomes more lively than what a typical rag sound like. It makes me feel more alive!
why are you suing roblox and meepcity for this when they aren't even using it anymore?
Scott Joplin has been dead for 100 years and this wasnt the guy that sued him
The art, class and the elegance of the artist at the service of the music.
Really tired to hear the absurd and ridiculous versions of this beautiful piece, but now we have the reference.
Perfect tempo, fantastic left hand and pedal
Why some people are asking for faster performance?. This is a ragtime not a 100m race
The Steinway helps, of course, but the magic is from Dario
Thanks for sharing
Thank you so much, your words are very appreciated and made me happier. Cheers 😉
Thank you Dario Ronchi. This is my favorite recording of Maple Leaf Rag.
Clearly, this man is a professional pianist. He must have a degree in music from Juilliard in New York or the Royal Academy in London. Maple Leaf Rag is not a piece that a novice or amateur can simply perform. This performance is concert hall worthy and it sent shivers down my spine.
Thank you so much!!
Not gonna lie this song is pretty good compared to others on YT. Good playing by this guy
