Update: ONE MILLION VIEWS!!! My 2nd video to hit this mark. Thanks everyone! (11/7/10)

Hi everyone, this is a re-recording of the maple leaf rag with less audio distortion. I hope that made it better. Unfortunately all your kind comments and ratings are gone, sorry!

About the speed: I strived to play it at this specific speed and I think it is appropriate and not excessive. Of course, you're entitled to have your own opinion though.

This piece was learned and recorded in 14 days :)

  • If you know how to play the piano, and that you want to play this so bad..but can't do it anyway.Dnt give up! When my teacher first introduced me to this song for our recital, I was like " IMPOSSIBLE, THERE'S NO WAY I'M GONNA PLAY THIS, PLS GET ME ANOTHER ONE"..but we used the piece anyway. At first it was shitty..i couldnt handle the notes which were complicated and that the tune was crazy, but after a few months..i could play it just like THIS GUY could! DEFINITELY, IT'S WORTH IT! DNT GIVE UP!

  • at the end he just walks away like a badass

  • this is what they want us to listen to while the economy is failing!! lol its true and you know it

  • THIS IS AMAZING but I hate to admit it but you're playing it too fast. I know how good this is (I've learned this) but Scott Joplin specifically wanted the original speed to always be played and  think we should follow his wish!
