I think it is OK. I left out the last section, because I haven't learnt it yet.

  • sounds so much like MAPLE LEAF RAG

  • I must disagree with you on this point. Cascades has a more 'linear' melody in A+B section. The C section's running octaves and counterpoint is very different to Maple Leaf. Joplins genius is the weaving of original ideas, melodies and themes into what is a fairly rigid structure.

  • not a genius... try writing a coherent ragtime song yourself man. You'll see it's hard as hell. In my opinion, Scott Joplin is a genius in every respect. He always knew how to make 3 or 4 themes fit into 1 piece seamlessly AND make it sound like it is natural and easy.

  • Im caucasian and I think scott joplin is a genius :)

    Plus latibes does these clips in one take mostly.

    5 stars.

  • left out the B section... but that's what i do when I play it.

  • wow...slow down just a little and you will be able to work thru that Csection. Good job...this is a Joplin masterpiece.....

  • Joplin wrote this rag as a tribute to the magnificent waterfall display called the "cascades" at the 1904 St Louis World's Fair in 1904.

  • Composer's prerogative! :-)

  • yes, and gladiolus too, i think its intentional

  • have you ever noticed though that the structures of the 1st parts of maple leaf rag, the cascades and sugar cane are almost identical

  • Have you learned the last section yet?

  • Wait, wait wait, your great-grandfather saw Joplin in 1902?? Can you give more details??

    BTW, great video, Latibes! That C theme is a tough'un.

  • OMG i have the same metrenome as YOU!!!! OMGGGGG!!! @.@.... good playing also

  • im learning that song,i wish i could play it like you
