To Chaveznieves: Joplin himself said "Ragtime should never be played fast." This is a perfect tempo. The piece would gain nothing by being played faster. Ragtime should SWING, not zip around at breakneck speed.
Congratulations to this young man who has an excellent feeling for the style. I'm waiting to hear you play "Magnetic Rag"!!
Grandma Charlotte should be justly pleased and proud.
Please wish your Grandma belated Birthday greetings and God's richest blessings from one of His servants who loves you rendition of Scott Joplins "Cascades"
Nice performance!!! I could listen to this all day. :-)

Perfect! It takes a lot of discipline to play Joplin RIGHT, and have it down pat. Happy birthday to your Grandma.
