Glad you like the interpretation. :-)

I wish Chopin had lived longer; I would have loved to hear him do ragtime too! (I find Joplin's music is pianistic, like Chopin's, and also has some of the same emotional depth. I'd've like for Scott Joplin to have lived longer too, come to think of it!)

Ciao, a me questo rag piace molto, lo sto imparando. Hi, i like this rag very much, i'm learning it. Great performance!

I think that tempo suits the song really well. You can't just say 'All ragtime should be played at this speed', but this is right at the redline so it's perfect.

Thank you! I agree: each rag seems to have its own tempo; some faster, some slower. Glad you enjoyed my interpretation of this piece! :)

just a touch faster wouldn't hurt

Pretty isn't it?

[Kamibambiraptor]

Yes it is. :) A friend of mine remarked that ragtime is very graceful music.
