Ragtime Piano Player- Humoresque- A. Dvorak- Ragtime Style

[flashbak11]

Great version of a great piece. Nice work Mark.

[PianoFatso]

What a thoroughly enjoyable version of the piece. I've no doubt the ragtime police and classical buffs will be foaming at the mouth but who cares.

[jamjamsterjiggidyjay]

this is awesome dude :)

[surfingthechaos]

you should do a ragtime piano version of "humoresque of a little dog"

[Santosificationable]

Great stuff. Though Art Tatum's version is more exciting, I like this too.

[tiptipandtip]

I love it so much! Greattttttt!

[iloromero]

Wow, I can't believe it, this is very nice! I love the classic version played by Moura Lympany but this is quite different... Well done!

[lalalilalaaa]

Dvořákova skladba je úžasná, ale můžu říct, že tohle je taky skvělé. Dvořák je čech a jsem na něj hrdá. Dvorak´s composition is amazing, but I can talk that this is also great. Dvorak is czech and I am proud of him.

[maxwel411411411]

Amazing!

[maxwel411411411]

Awesome Waltz

[fearlissimo]

Great.

Great playing, great tune, great idea to rearrange it into ragtime.

[applause]

[justheidiok]

You know when I was little I would try to put my classical peices to a rag/jazz beat and my mother would yell. I glad you didn't stop because your mother yelled at you. YOU ARE AWSOME!!!

[LillyC68]

Wonderful to listen to... :)

best wishes,

Lilly

[callawaysam]

[scottjop656]

a nice rag in C... who couldnt like it? beautifull!

[Whimsicologist]

I meant to rate this five stars, but an errant click of the mouse seems to have made that impossible... But this mix of ragtime and classical music has made me happier than you can imagine! Keep it up, man. You're amazing.

[kro22x]

[TutorialMakerPyrofol]

Watch your back...

Play piano with a straight back...

[danslatente]

@TutorialMakerPyrofol ... or what?

[TutorialMakerPyrofol]

@danslatente It's just easier :P

[Roseann90]

ah dont mind that!!! i know its better for your back to sit straight but slouching shows youre really into it ans really enjojying it!!

[tehyoster]

This song sounds so much fun! If only you can write sheet music for this, I'd learn it right away!

[hanzi1212]

Very very very nice!!! I keep coming back to watch this..

[ThePhatboy3]

You look like a hippie...a cool hippie rag-time, piano-playing, dude-hippie.  Right on...

[JamesPriceJohnson]

yo, this is hot. if i do wind up making a fuure piano roll company, which ihope i do, ihope u would come and make a piano roll of this

[linkman553]

ragtime is bad ass, its great music to stroll down the street listening to haha

[samciz]

Hi, I like it very much. Antonín Dvořák would be proud of you :) I come from the same country as he did.

You guys, who are looking for the sheet, I am sure that you'll find good humoresque midis in rag pattern, than convert it to the sheet. Good luck!

[tzrmike]

wow i never knew that zombies could sleep whilst playing the piano?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? thats amazing!!

[forzaitalia2]

hehe so very nice. bravo

[et8ks2nrob]

how can u improvise something beatiful?? teach me!^^

you are awesome!

[allendale1962]

Very clean plying. Nice easy version of Humoresque.

[JanesCalamity]

Yay! So great. How DO you do it???

I wanna play like that and make it sound that easy.

[tati222yt]

I just saw the new one you posted for Humoresque... and I came back to see this one. This one is still my favorite. I just can't get enough of it! Thanks again!

[Mrsully51693]

does anyone have sheet music for this? ive looked everywhere!

[OrganicVeggieLoaf]

sorry I improvised this performance so no sheet music. Check back later as I'm working on releasing my first music CD and MIDI/sheet music available soon.

[pelotudo22]

really lovely playin! probably the best version of the humoresque i've heard. sorry to be a pain, but I would love to play this song as well, any chance of maybe uploading a midi file or something? thanks in advance

[hitthelightz]

@OrganicVeggieLoaf my god you're amazing, you just made that up on the spot, thats so talented, how long have you been playing piano for?

[tehyoster]

@OrganicVeggieLoaf

Please tell me it's been "later" yet. I still await for that sweet sheet music, as I clearly cannot improv like this!

[dorisga]

wow great great cover

jeje it's a nice work, keep on that feeling ; )

[harleyhawgn]

Excellent song and supurb playing.  All the stars and fav'd for this one, TOTALLY ENJOYED, C.W.

[ianjames67]

Nice playing. good time. good touch. thank you.

[ghostgal30e]

Awesome playing. 5*****

[ReturnOfTheStienway]

Mad piano playing here my friend!

[aardvaark069]

There's also "don't think about me when I'm gone" in there.

[NaomiWadsworth]

This is the best of all of the ragtime tunes I have watched on Youtube.

[pat7893]

Thanks so MUCH for putting this wonderful tune through the ragtime sieve!! Ragtime is a fabulous medium for any lyrical tune. You play with such beauty and ease, it's a joy to watch and listen to you! Thank you again.

[ddweason]

Bravo! I asked my piano teacher 'why don't you play like that', her answer is Western People listen to such music since they were young, they heard a lot, and they are familiar with the rhythm that kind, so they can play it spontaneously, for people in Mainland China like us, it's not an easy thing. Therefore I choose the Scotts Classic 'the Entertainer', for her, in order to train her about ragtime style, hope one day she can play like that too.

[phlporlando12]

Wait, so it is hard for you to get into the groove?

[rhapsodyphantom]

I like.

[yoyomin]

soo good

[GerritBoom]

Fantastic playing!

[ReneeSmyckova]

I have heard Humoresque by A.Dvořák many times (he is kind of our national treasure) but I must say your version is really fantastic!

[actionh]

the ring ;)

[casyopea1977]

I love it! Thank you for uploading

[TopD90]

Lovely!

[ponytoes]

You are in DAVIS!!! We are just outside of Sacramento and have friends in Davis! Where do you perform? How about the Palms Playhouse in Winters! We would LOVE to hear you live! WOW! kat

[ponytoes]

U R AWESOME! I just wish you were here playing our old turn of the century upright! Keep playing! Keep posting! kat

[iHennigs]

wooow, Supper Geil!

[rboneh]

You really have the knack in your fingers, heart & brain. Keep on tinkling, ok? Cos I'm enjoying your vids very much.

[musictranscription]

I can write for you any sheet music

[chickafinch]

Can you buy ragtime/honkey tonk/whatever kind of music?

You play awsome, thanks for the videos!

[goodridgewinners]

heck, what a clever idea. do this for fur elise, and then ill be impressed. Yes, i understand fur elise is a stupid piece of music, and lots of people on youtube think that their versions of it are good...but i think you will have a better go at making Fur Elise Rag/Jazz.

Wonderful!

[OrganicVeggieLoaf]

Yeah, actually I do play Fur Elise ragtime and it's one of my most requested pieces. I've been asked several times to post it. Will do so for my next video.

[BRazor78]

Wow, good luck with that piece! It doesn't sound easy putting a piece that's in 3/8 time into a 4/4 rag time.

[hitthelightz]

@goodridgewinners how is fur elise a stupid piece of music? ....

[goodridgewinners]

@hitthelightz oh dear...i wrote that?! lol a lot of my attitude has changed in 2 years. By stupid, in that context, what I actually meant was 'over played and about the only song people really know how to play.'

anyways, it most definitely is NOT stupid. I'm just over it. And I'm surprised half the world isn't over it either, but then I guess everyone has 'that song' they will never get sick of.

[hitthelightz]

@goodridgewinners sorry i also did not notice that it was a two year old comment lol, but yeah its great music, but it has been over played so many times i agree

[redshagy]

sweet

[phlporlando12]

do you happen to have what you just played written down, because that was amazing?

[borisgrichenco]

really awesome, nice groove ^^

[idamay1]

Fantastic!! I love this kind of music and you play it VERY Well~~ 5*

[caivietlong1988]

[gehinator]

This is wonderful! I wish I could play like that. :)

[KawhackitaRag]

Very neat arrangement! have you tried any of the "ragging the classics" pieces by Felix Arndt or George Cobb?
