This is my transcription of Adam Swanson's interpretation of the Tiger Rag, as played in the final of the World Championship Old Time Piano contest in Oxford, Mississippi. I partly used this live performance, and partly the album recording as a reference, so the details don't quite 100% line up, but hopefully it's close enough.
This is the only version I feel where you can really hear the tiger roar! It's so great.

Outstanding playing. I have to give credits to Ted Heath's version of Tiger Rag too- most insane version. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/paqSfJWh0JirkY0.html

The reason I love ragtime so much is because it always looks like so much fun to play! I'm glad you transcribed this, although I won't be undertaking to learn it anytime soon.

Wonderful! I wasn't even aware there was a notation for "play notes simultaneously with forearm". Now I know it's a vertical wavy line with an arrowhead at the bottom. This is a more authentic and joyful performance than Art Tatum's. I know that I'm supposed to swoon with admiration for AT but honestly I never hear the sense of love. This makes me a Tatum-Denier, I suppose

Sergei Rachmaninoff once said of Tatum, "if he ever starts playing classical music we're all out of a job."

Nice transcription. I've transcribed a lot of the medleys and other pieces from his album "Live at the Diamond Belle Saloon" including his full Alexander Ragtime Band medley and the Texas Song Medley, as well as a bunch of other ones. They're really fun to play but I find he will play way too fast to keep up with. His accuracy at such a high speed is quite impressive once you sit down and try it yourself though.

This is great! only things i'd like to mention is: measure 42 adds a flat and goes to E flat major, 74 adds a flat AGAIN and goes to A flat major! The switch to D minor is correct (yet it's notated a measure early 😂, it doesn't come until after the A Major dominant chord). I haven't checked your channel but I hope you transcribe regularly because damn you're good! Keep it up (even though it's like a year old LMAO)
