A REAL pleasure to hear Maple Leaf Rag played so well and at the correct tempo.
Why do people try to play it so fast???
Perfect BRAVO

When I first looked at this I thought "my God it's Glen Gould" The posture is somewhat similar.

Excellent - this is one of my favorites
-
Very good pace - lovely to listen to
-
I'm so glad to FINALLY find a version I can feel good about my piano students listening to! My son is currently working on this piece and I'm very grateful for an example I feel good about him emulating.

Yeah dude do it! you're awesome!

@GlennHardy You're right, I personally enjoy it both ways, but I have to say that you have done Joplin justice in interpreting it correctly, it sounds great - and as well as that, I can still hear parts where you play it just slightly differently that the sheet music, it's a nice touch to the song, because I can tell you're enjoying it :D
Thanks.

Awesome Job,My Friend!!!

Very nice! With this tempo, you can really "hear" every single note played. Sounds very elegant. Keep up the good work. :-)
-
My favorite Joplin piece. Thanks for doing it justice :)

Fantastic! Thank you for playing the song correctly, at the right tempo. So many others out there make the compositon feel RUSHED. Beautiful.

Thanks to all of you for taking the time to let me know you appreciate this. Since the response has been so favorable, I'm encouraged and will be recording some more Joplin very soon.

I'm glad so many people appreciate hearing ragtime played in the more "traditional" way. Some might say "stodgy" or even "academic." Joplin was a teacher and a pretty conservative guy. Of course, we know that even in his own time, musicians were playing his music in ways of which he did not approve. I'm thinking of Jelly Roll Morton in particular. But then, what a wonderful new tradition came out of Morton's "jazzing up" of ragtime.
Thanks for listening, and keep practicing!
