A - MA - ZING!!!!!! THIS YOUNGSTER REALLY GETS IT!!!! RAG, THAT IS. As an 'old Timer' who has adored Ragtime music forever....I don't recall hesring any Rag played with such gusto and this well. BRAVO, young lady!

Holy smokes! I am in awe as I watch you playing that piece. As a fellow musician, old enough to be your Grandfather, I have rarely seen someone who has it as together as you do, piece after piece.

Never seen your videos before... but about 2 seconds in I'm hooked

Another brilliant video from the undisputed Princess of the Ragtime Piano. Thank you, thank you

I always love the way you end the song .This time was whhoo perfect.

As I watched her videos throughout the years, Kristen just kept getting better and better... Weird, I know... but she and others like her just serve to reconfirm my life-long love of Ragtime music. Kristen, you rock!

I first heard this composition in the 1981 Warren Beatty film " Reds " . Warren and Diana were dancing . Thank you ! Maybe you could look into to performing the Charles L. Johnson catalog of works ? You do keeps classic Rag tyme music real ! Tremendous technique and execution , Bravo chica bella !

The accuracy of your left hand in those last few bars was just thrilling!!

A well-deserved "woo!" at the end. Bravo.

Kristen, I'm amazed every time I hear you play. I love how you articulate the notes, that makes a huge difference in giving the music some clear definition. And, when it comes to playing staccato in the bass, and legato in the right hand, you are the best that I've heard. Having that perfect technique really brings out the syncopation between the two parts. Well done!

I'm french, I like your old songs reprises !

You are truly the master of ragtime piano. Superb!

You simply cannot be unhappy listening to ragtime. Thank you!

As much as I love ragtime and thought I had heard 'em all, this is new to me and now my favorite rag. Now I don't have to play the Entertainer every day. JUST kidding. Not kidding about loving this song, though. And well played as usual. Talk about a finger workout - whew!

Kristen, its great that a young musician like yourself is interested ragtime, a wonderful music genre that is much neglected now. Growing up in the 40's and 50'd I learned the style by hearing the old timers playing in live, just the way it was in the turn of the last century. I suggest you get hold of a DVD of the movie "Ragtime" as the performances in the film are outstanding and very accurate. I think you will be surprised at how refined and lyrical the style actually was. And the tempos were much slower. I had the good fortune of playing in an authentic style ragtime band for several years during my career as a professional musician.

This is the best piano playing you've ever done. Nice job.

I am not one to smile but that just made me smile for two minutes. Great job! those fingers were just jumping all over the place!

The most exciting 2 minutes on KZfaq! You played it to perfection!

This is the best I’ve heard this rag played. Period.

Just Wow!!!

Ooooh, I really like that lively melody you play for this one and your ability at making the bass line having a jumpin feeling is divine, and that key change sounds great coming from your skilled touch!

Oh. My. God!!! You are BEYOND AMAZING!!! You are a ragtime genius! And this is coming from a pianist with decades of experience in ragtime! I learned The Maple Leaf Rag when I was 12 and thereafter it became my trademark song - and I could even play it perfectly while blindfolded! You play like I used to play...AND EVEN BETTER!!! You earned my subscription fair and square with just this one post!!!

Ragtime rhythms are so pleasing to hear. I think I love them so much because of the added difficulty.

Excellent job. This reminds me of the albums my mother had of Rag Time Jazz. She had ever single Del Wood. You should see if you can find any of her albums and give them a listen. That woman's fingers were like lightening.

So nice to see you back.

So KZfaq does come up with surprising suggestions. This is great music and incredibly well played. Will look out for more of this kind of old time music played by you.. awsome

Saw it live... legendary. Some very tricky bits and pretty perfect in my opinion.

Very beautifully played

Yay! Another great song. Thank you!

Right on! Great job, great feel, great accuracy, really superb. This is not an easy piece either…

Another top notch job. One of my favs and don so well.

Always fantastic to see you back with classic ragtime, and I loved the life and bounce you gave this one! Keep up the amazing playing!

every piece you upload is an absolute delight to listen to!

She is so incredibly talented. If the world ever opens up again, I hope you pop over and play in some of the piano bars in Edinburgh!

Yay! a new piece to put into my study playlist :) cheers

Thank you. Great as usual.

I love your interpretation !! Thank you Kristen

Can never get enough of Kristen...

What is it about this period of music composition that made it sound so rad? And, gosh dang, this lady is a master of it.

WOW is right Kristen!! That was great. I love it !!!

Your music always makes me feel so happy 😊

You had as much fun playing that as I did watching it! It was great.

Wow! Strong, steady and clear. Thank you for this. So fun.

Kristen you totally rock! Love your playing. Thank you for sharing.

i added it to my watch later, then immediately clicked on it, then liked it, then watched it, then loved it. and i smiled the whole time.

A great piece by Charles Johnson. Thanks!

No music amazing. How on earth do you do it. Your brain must be dancing with you too. Well done brilliant.

You make my day, every day. Thank you so much! 🌷

Excellent, Excellent, Excellent !!! Kristen, great work. Thank you !!!

I think the pace of that song got you into the aerobic zone of piano playing. You almost need a couple of assistants. One on one side wiping the sweat out of your eyes like a surgeon's nurse, and one on the other fanning you with a towel like a prize fighter's corner man.

Love listening to you play.

Such good music. Great playing!!

Great job! Looking this one up I’ve not played it…yet!

Love this, love your happy music,

Can't watch this without a big smile on my face. What fun. Terrific job.

The sounds of great tunes coming full circle...excellent rendition...👍

Another great tune, Kristen! If nothing else, this pandemic has broadened my music experiences, and you are one of the contributors to it! Thank you for posting these, and I hope see more from you!

I've watched you ever since you started on KZfaq and the improvement just keeps growing. You are gifted.

Awesome playing! Keep going!

I AM INSPIRED!! Thank you!

Awesome Kristen... Just Awesome! xx

She's baaaack! The brain is working as good as ever.

Kristen, you are wonderfully talented and I love listening to ragtime tunes. I'm rock& roll, blues-oriented in most of my tastes, but ragtime kicks it and you do it superbly!

Kristen, that was fabulous, thank you so much.

delightful as always !

Great rag! Gonna play it about a dozen more times!

Amazing as always. Thank you for sharing your talent.

This video is absolutely fantastic! ❤️

'Love this! Thanks for sharing. :)

Beautiful job! Love it. I havent seen you on here for a while! God bless all here.

Great playing on that Rag! I got a few Rags that I play and its great music. Sounds good on a Steinway D too.

Hey this is great, love the song and what a great left hand. Used to listen to Winifred Atwell. Cheers...

Catchy little tune. Thanks

Wow you’re soooo talented!! Not fair, I wanna play like this so badly!😩 Thanx for sharing

Ten people gave this a thumbs down. Five played spoons, three played a musical saw, and two blew on wax paper over a comb. I love your playing, Miss Mosca.

Sounds great!

Delightful. What a fun little rag!

This music always makes me smile 😃

Nothing makes me happier than to see a new video from you Kristen. By the way, I'm making some progress with my piano playing. I just learned The Cheers Theme song, Daydream Believer, and In The Summertime by Mungo Jerry. Thanks for the inspiration. The other 2 people that made me want to learn are Terry Miles and Brendan Kavanagh.

Many thanks from Reykjavik. So skillful this woman.

When you get down about not hitting every note perfectly, just remember what a gift you have. I will watch you just to make me smile. Thank you!

I just discover your channel ! Many thanks from France !!! It is a jewel !! I do love your way of playing that good piano pieces. I'll go on listening !! Excuse my bad english

Love this one. Keep posting

Very nice. A friend of mine plays that on the mandolin. I accompany him with the guitar. Thanks for all the great music.

Haven't heard that one before. Thanks well played!!!
