I'm so tired of Maple Leaf and other Joplin pieces being associated with saloons. Joplin wrote his first pieces a decade after the end of the Wild West era.

@kodachromatic 6 ай бұрын

I’m always a little sad when this piece is played because it’s not as well known as the Entertainer. (And that Joplin is under-appreciated today). For me, Maple Leaf Rag is the superior composition and far more enjoyable to listen to.

@captaincatchy 5 ай бұрын

@@kodachromatiche wrote so many good pieces, I don't think we have to rank them. What I like less about this piece is that the last two sections aren't as catchy as the first part. I wonder why in his rags he rarely repeats the first tune at the end - you'd think that would be the obvious thing to do.

@jastern949 3 ай бұрын

Indeed brilliant, technically. But I actually would like it a tad slower and a bit more cesura between the notes to show more feeling, and maybe even a little nostalgia.. But then -- I'm always right. ;-)

What a wonderful natural talent. This young man has clearly been sitting at a piano for many years and loving it. It is always difficult to maintain the attention span of children long enough for them to achieve sufficient skill to hold that attention and progress. This young man has surpassed the skill level of many accomplished adults. Spectacular playing. I am so in awe of talent like this. I will watch his career with great interest. Best regards from the Giants Causeway coast of Northern Ireland. 😀👍☘️

Flawless. I too played the MapleLeaf around his age, perhaps a little older. For ol' skool pianist, it's like a benchmark. In a few years as he continues to play it he'll b able to accent it and express it that much deeper. LOVED watching him. So beautiful and excellent playing. From where does he hail?

Your discipline and form at the keyboard are most studied and yet not unlike a ballet for the fingers. I have poor vision and often play with my eyes closed, but my training didn't lean toward discipline, or maybe that was me. I'm improvisational, perhaps by nature. Congratulations. I know how hard it is, but I also know the great joy of music. You're so young. Have a great life. I know you will.
