It sounds like when my little cousin pushes the change key button on our electric keyboard :D But I mean that in all fun because this is a great piece to change keys in.

Cool!

What's all the pounding about? Sounds like an angry piano roll!

@metsmonkey75

I think one or both of the pianos had a serious infestation of carpenter ants, and you know how noisy they can be.

where can i find the sheet music?

[tdub1941]

@azngamer876

You can find the sheet music at a sheet music store or online.

@azngamer876 Maple Leaf Rag happens to be in the public domain and can be found, along with lots of other great musical scores at the IMSLP / Petrucci Music Library. imslp.org/wiki/Main_Page

I think there's not much of a balans... it could be the acoustics of the hall but... sometimes I 'have to listen very very well to hear the melody.

A great Ragtime duet ! 5 stars!!

Paul.

[FutureAbe]

this is outstanding, have they made a recording of this arrangement?

[tdub1941]

I don't know but if they have it would be available on Fredericks website which is listed in the "more info" section above. Go there and surf around a bit. It is a great website.

Thanks for watching.

@FutureAbe They did record an album this past November. I don't know if they did this on it or not, though. It has not been released as of yet.

[Keeper1st]

@FutureAbe Note that this indeed is on their album "Double Trouble: Hot Piano Duets", taken at a more controlled tempo. The album can be bought through cdbaby.

Great! I would love to hear this on disc (properly recorded in a studio) as there's a lot going on and the reverb of the live performance sometimes masks it a little. However, very enjoyable. Thanks.

What a surprise from Swanson & Hodges' earlier video of Maple Leaf Rag which already has some 10,000+ views. This one is camped up. Great.

[TheKnabe]

Warning--This video requires re-visitations!

It is super-delicious. Fantasie Fantastique!

[Keeper1st]

Yeah, they've definitely worked on it! Tom should set this as a video response to the other one ("Maple Leaf Rag with several key changes"). It'll get more views that way. This is the first I've seen of this one and it's been here for five months!
