This is me playing the piano. I'm pretty rusty on it, so please forgive my numerous mistakes.
Some history - this song was written by Scott Joplin in c. 1897, and it was the first instrumental piece to sell over one million copies in sheet music. This piece popularized both Scott Joplin and the music he helped pioneer, Ragtime. Many musical historians directly tribute Maple Leaf Rag as the piece that birthed the ancestors of all modern popular music, because the interest in ragtime it created transferred in to interest in dixieland jazz, swing, etc.

SO

This song could possibly be the most important composition of modern music. But probably not.

  • Incredibly impressive playing.

  • @CHROSSTOPHER Haha I'd like to think so but that was a much less than stellar performance. If I could perfect that song, THEN maybe I'd be good at the piano.
