Maple Leaf Rag & Heliotrope Bouquet & An original composition on piano

I love Scott Joplin and the ragtime era. It's really fun music. Here's a little Maple Leaf Rag with some Heliotrope Bouquet blended in at the end of Maple Leaf. I am still learning both of these pieces. I added a little swing to it just for fun.
The very last part is just a little ragtime composition I'm current writing & playing around with. I wasn't expecting to play that all. I kinda messed up my own song. lol. :P

How do you compose a ragtime piece? I want to know what kind of cord they use the most.

Great job. So nice to see a young pianist play ragtime. I learned my first Joplin tune at age 10, and 37 years later, I'm still playing them. Keep up the great work!
