Ethan Uslan @ Scott Joplin Ragtime Festival / June 2007

Great playing, but too fast.

Great playing for sure, but "too fast?" That is a matter of opinion, and one usually expressed by piano players that can't play very fast.

You could be right, but Scott Joplin himself is quoted as saying, "It is never right to play ragtime fast." If you're looking for authenticity, I think it pays to pay attention to the King of Ragtime, don't you?

Hi,

Here is a copy of the comment below -

MrBooyah314 (7 months ago) Played absolutely perfect. I mean this with no pun intended to J.R.Morton's "Perfect Rag".

Thanks for your question, and I hope you enjoy some more of the videos I've posted here on YouTube.

to be nit-picky, I spotted some tempo issues, but really, the whole performance is superb, especially the trio variation, with the nice execution of those triplets... that's tough to play this so cleanly!
