pianos were built for this song, not the song for the piano

i am only upset that all the black talent around when classical music was big...did not get a chance to create...i am sure there were many many motzarts out there who never got the chance....they were busy keeping house or picking cotton or being lynched....how much greatness we have missed in the classical music era.....the jazz musicians are so unbelievably creative ...i just dream ....joplin is just the tip of the unknown iceberg....yet i love his music...thank you scott.

original recording?????

@imattdotnet it was probably recorded using a machine that cut the holes into a piano roll. wax cylinder technology wasn't good for piano, and since his music didn't have/need vocals, the rolls had superior quality for his needs. I guessed wax cylinders at first too.

Cue black-garbed mustachioed top-hatted villain, stage right.

I played this song once on my iPod. Next thing I know, I saved a girl from this mustached guy in a black top hat who was tying her to a railroad track.

So glad to have found a version of this music that was recorded on a piano roll. When it comes to ragtime music, nothing can compete with the muffled sound of an old recording (and i mean that in a good way!).
Le son semble différent sur cet enregistrement ... Ce n'est pas un rouleau ?

@RagtimeDorianHenry
Alors c'est le piano sur lequel est placé ce rouleau qui donne cette ilmpression ...dommage que Scott Joplin n'ait pas joué sur un Welte Mignon ( possible en 1905 mais à Leipzig ) , on aurait aujourd'hui la restitution exacte de son jeu ...

@jeanpi314159 Je me demande quand même pourquoi jamais Scott Joplin n'a été enregistré sur cylindre... Je veux dire que d'autres pianistes de ragtime avant 1917 (je pense à Mike Bernard, Luckey Roberts, etc,) ont été enregistré, jouant eux-même les morceaux.
