  • it's really great. Do you know where I can get the music note?

  • It can be found on Ted Tjaden's site. I'll send you a link.

  • Thanks, I've made the correction. There are actually 2 different pieces with confusingly similar title pages:

    Weeping Willow-Ragtime Two Step, Scott Joplin (1903)

    Weeping Willow Rag, H.A. Fischler (1911)

  • A very classical rendition - I love it.

  • Thanks to "rtpress", I really enjoy this real Ragtimer's performance, not only her piano play, but also her love to this composition and Ragtime itself... ;-)

    you judge hard, but there are different opinions from yours also.

    Please permit others to like greatly such great musicality and interpretation, me included.

    All the best to you

  • Beautifully done. I really appreciated the dynamics.

  • I promise I'm not one of the Scott Joplin police but this was nearly unrecognisable. Such a shame as Mimi Blais has a definite touch required to get the most out of Joplin. I think maybe I have a problem with rewriting original music rather than doing variations on a theme. Still, a good performance though and credit where credit is due.

  • That's so hot, it fried itself...

    Joplin would roll over with this one...

  • C'est tellement beau, j'aime tellement cette pièce et ta façon de l'interpréter.

  • Amen to that. Blais is obviously a fine pianist, but in this performance, she goes way beyond embellishment to wholesale rewriting of the piece. The charming lilt of the A section is destroyed.

  • oh my goodness, when it started I thought, oh geez this is far slower than how I would like it, but it was spectacular performance. I could feel the sincerity in the feeling the music. Thanks for this video. This new tempo is a fantastic interpretation.
