A Jolly little Rag here by the famous Scott Joplin, this one was a request by one of our subscribers. Are there any Ragtime afficiandos out there who can suggest some different pieces from other composers they would like to be seen played?
GREAT PICKING .... REALLY COOL SPECIAL EFFECTS .... LOOKS LIKE A PLAYER PIANO ON FIRE !!!! .... LOL .... UNIQUE .... I LOVE IT .... :-) .... PLEASE PLAY MORE JOPLIN .... ..........................................................................................................................................................
Good job ! Very clear and good tempo, I think it was a bit similar to Rifkin’s version. Also you should play Bethena. It is, to me, Joplin’s best piece.
Thanks so much, and best of luck with learning the final 45%! I’ve always enjoyed playing Ragtime on the piano, particularly “The East Winners” the “Maple Leaf Rag” and many other of Scott Joplin’s wonderful compositions. Are you planning on learning any more Rags soon?
@@masterkeyz959 Hello! update: I'm finally done after months of procrastinating! I as well love playing "Maple leaf Rag" I've been looking at "Weeping Willow Rag" As well as finishing the Eb section of "The Silver Swan" one of Joplin's more obscure pieces that I absolutely love! Thank you for this very useful video, Your rendition is my favorite. Looking forward to possibly seeing more of Joplin's rags from you! Also how would you personally rate the difficulty of "Magnetic rag?"
This is a nice rag fix since I'll be away from my piano for a week but it also makes me jealous! No rag playing for a week and all I can do it watch it how dare you Keyz!
great tempo, this is one of my favorite joplin rags. i suggest letting the left hand relax more on the jumps and let it have some bounce, then you can let gravity do most of the work for you.
With a couple exceptions, Joplin composed his pieces to be played at a slow (or, at least, very controlled) tempo. People playing ragtime too fast was one of his pet peeves, with many of his pieces (and his primer "School of Ragtime") containing strongly-worded notes warning players that "[i]t is never right to play Ragtime fast."
I love how the left hand bass kind of had a snare like sound. How do you do that? Im learning this piece and I'm unsure of how to get that snare feeling. Do I use pedal?
Great as to tiempo, rhythm, & syncopation. But the dynamics -- relative volume among different phrases -- bothers me a lot. Everything seems to be at the same annoyingly loud volume. And much of the beauty of this piece is lost because of that. I wish it weren't so, because the playing is excellent in so many other ways.
@@OpusPocusMusicJoplin’s last works were made in 1913/14/15/16/17 when he was suffering His finale ailment of dementia. The manuscripts are all still missing, and were very innovative. Symphonies, concertos, sonatas, plays/operas and much more. All of which were composed in a ragtime style. They were last seen in the 50s/60s. Only a single page has ever been found and was photographed and music uploaded to UA-cam years later.
In ragtime, especially Joplin, it is almost never right to pedal. The only Joplin piece that you might be able to get away with pedaling is Solace. Even then, you shouldn’t. Same thing with swing in ragtime. Some people like it, but you aren’t supposed to do it. Hope this explanation helps!

0:18 love that intro
This version sounds so punchy and bright, it's good.
Easily my favorite Joplin piece and you rocked it!
Spice Lord Glad you enjoyed this so much Spice Lord!😁Thanks for watching!!
Love you Master Keyz, thanks for giving my favourite composer some love
Good job ! Very clear and good tempo, I think it was a bit similar to Rifkin’s version.
Also you should play Bethena. It is, to me, Joplin’s best piece.
Scott would be proud!
Very well done! I’m using this vid to learn the piece, about 55% of the way thru

wow! perfectly played！
The slow tempo actually sounds good

People playing ragtime too fast was one of his pet peeves, with many of his pieces (and his primer "School of Ragtime") containing strongly-worded notes warning players that "[i]t is never right to play Ragtime fast."
I really like it!
Thank you for this!
You're welcome!
Nice Work! I like it very much!
4:15 is so satisfying
I love how the left hand bass kind of had a snare like sound. How do you do that? Im learning this piece and I'm unsure of how to get that snare feeling. Do I use pedal?
Wow 😳
If you think this is hard, then you should see his 1916 piano roll.
Can you do a Christmas series please? Would love that.
3:31 - 4:06
what software-settings did you use to get the split screen affect
Ho Jack, thanks for your interest in the piece. The top part is created using Adobe After Effects. Thanks for watching!

Can you do ragtime nightingale by joseph lamb.
What software makes the notes like that?
How do you make the visualizer work with an acoustic piano?
With an acoustic piano it's difficult but can be done with a midi strip.
Great as to tiempo, rhythm, & syncopation. But the dynamics -- relative volume among different phrases -- bothers me a lot. Everything seems to be at the same annoyingly loud volume. And much of the beauty of this piece is lost because of that. I wish it weren't so, because the playing is excellent in so many other ways.
Technically proficient, but a little too slow for my taste. But hey that's music! There is something for everyone
All of Scott Joplin’s last works are such a loss to the history of music…
What do you mean

Dude doesn’t use the sustain pedal at all

Insert drums and guitars and clarinets here.
