I want to ask, do you play this song?

[RagtimeDorianHenry]

A piano roll play without player

[AmericanEvita]

This charming ragtime piece makes me feel like I'm in a luxurious NY hotel in 1902, a lobby with elevators, gilded mirrors, beautiful flowers, palm leafs, grand staircases and chandeliers. Very charming

[08AbsoluteZero]

wonderful, love the piano roll

[MooPotPie]

Great tempo! Too bad it doesn't do legato. Nice to hear a roll that is so faithful to the actual score without all the added third hand crap with which most roll editors cluttered these rags.

Thank you! Thanks for posting this music... all of Joplin's recordings... very informative stuff.

(Ha! Ha! I'm a lead rock guitar player. Now 6x10x23 will say, "Aha! See!")

@confettigirl1 That's a very romantic and nostolgic thought, but couldn't be further from what it was really like. Ragtime's equivalent today is Rap and I doubt you'll be hearing that at the Waldorf anytime soon. At the time, Ragtime was only suitable for the bowery saloons and dance halls IE: brothels, cat houses, ladies of ill repute etc. It embodied all the things that proper ladies and gentleman stood against at the time.

@AmericanEvita I think you have your history confused. Ragtime was music for the "common man" back then. Only suitable for saloons and beer halls. Places where a proper lady wouldn't be caught in lest her virtue come into question and she be labeled a soiled dove. Boy, how things have changed in 1 generation. It's only relatively recently that we apreciate the music. It won't be long till we start hearing Rap in elevators. I can't wait for that to happen

@rawritzsarah Me too! With it I have learned the maple leaf rag, and am currently learning the Fig Leaf Rag.

Just got a Scott Joplin piano book it makes me happier than a small child with candy.

Listening to this I feel like dancing on air.

1:02 made me smile a lil LOL

How inspirational... Ah, voyage on the Titanic, but alas I do agree with you, AmericanEvita, that this does remind me of NY hotel in 1902, everything included. Joplin will live on forever.
