Scott Joplin - Easy Winners - Performed by Hope Miladinovich

[cebukid70]

Simply incredible touch and musical maturity at this age. :-) I'll need to check out your more recent works!

[bubuska101]

around 1:37, she messed up. 

[drandreacali]

The girl is amazing. Her staccato style denotes personality and her interpretation oozes musical maturity. Keep it up Hope!

[sjeine19]

Hope Milodinovich... sounds like translated name Надежда.

[pianorags]

Excellent job,thanks for this

[nootaramus]

why on earth don't they turn the piano sideways so you can see this girl's face/ she is brilliant !

[wannawatchu66]

Now just imagine if Hope sticks with it as I'm sure she will -- do I see another Diana Krall in the making here? -- doubtless she'll have a CD out by the time she hits 16.

[RagtimeRamFan]

This is great. I play many of Scott Joplin's pieces. This is one I am putting off because of the difficulty. Well played for someone this young!

[1CitizenEric]

Wow!! Great job Hope!  Very inspiring!

Thanks for playing and posting this, I hope to hear more of your playing...

[ErikDRed1]

Go to hell Titanic,or should I say to the depths of the atlantic.There's nothing wrong with her tempo.I'd bet that you couldn't play Chopsticks.

[jward720]

oh my god you live in nj don't you!its nice to have such a nice piano player in the state

[ThePVGS1]

Wow! Like for sure.

[Titanic19127]

Pretty good, but,The orignal song was really played a bit faster and on a player piano.

[Tolstoy111]

@Titanic19127 What do you mean on a player piano? It was written for people to play on all sorts of pianos.

[cebukid70]

Wow, great job and great musicality...especially at age 11.  :-)

[MickeyYahoo]

After listening in the background, I was shocked to see a little girl playing it. Wow. Good stuff. I like the slower tempo that the D part was done it best.

[nattynatti]

OMG

[Nemspy]

Wow - very, very impressive.

[PoutinePete]

This video should have a lot more views then 6,280!

[Ragtime95]

did she win ? :P

[paulcopeland]

Great performance for someone so young. Keep up the terrific work. Paul.

[thumbwhopper]

Nice job, Hope! You are an inspiration!! Thanks for posting.

[RE144]

it's a shame that they don't have a grand piano to play on it ;)

[boolaboolaman]

ragtime was mostly played on upright pianos

[perumnx]

Very impressive.

[phgiraud]

Bravo! I'm currently studying it and your great interpretation helps me a lot.

[asc11artist]

goooooooooooooood!!!!! really!!

[wakerds]

hhhmmm...its fine to me but you have too many mistakes. your tempo was fine just like as mine.. il give you 4 stars.

[Matthaeus42]

you have to mention that you're nervous in such situations!

[Reagge711]

wonderful, but it hurts inside me when i say "a ´little bit to fast" other whise just wonderful! 5stars

[gulgul2006]

considering the age, WOW. Obviously by perfectionist's standards, room to grow.

Her instructor needs to alow her to embellish beyond the mechanical... Although you have to drill that into the player until it's 2nd nature so grace notes, etc aren't in need of concentration, so maybe she's still getting there... WOW, she's going to be AMAZING in 5 years.... She's amazing now.

[MaesterCman]

Just watch your tempo. I think it started to speed up, but that could've just been nervousness of performing - I do the same thing when I perform.

[thaibu]

Easy Winners and the Cascades are the Joplin's hardest rags. A good performance.

[dangoth6667]

No, they aren't. I agree on Easy Winners' toughness, but Cascades is very easy compared to, for instance, the Maple Leaf.

[FREEASTHESTARS]

unbelievable, very talented young girl!

[idasynco]

WOW, keep it up! I love it!! 5*

[tdub1941]

Hi Ida!

Amazing and delicious! 5 STARS!

[tony9er9]

Great piano playing, well done!

[theragtimefan]

Very well played, this only a suggestion to help with the quality of the music, she should probably play a little louder because I couldn't hear the bottom notes. Other than that, very very well played.

[JaneHorstonDestiny]

she's very talented.

[bumblebee122]

excellent play

[TheColoradoan]

What a complex piece to be played by such a young girl. Very nice, you keep it up, young lady! :D
