I actually don't mind swung ragtime, and Larissa, your Weeping Willow (also swung) is the best version on YouTube. :-) I think historically, many pianists took lots of liberties with ragtime, and Joplin never liked speed demon versions of his compositions. I don't think he would've minded this one.

Indeed, Joplin frequently marked his rags "Not Fast", sometimes adding "ragtime should never be played fast." Many of us were introduced to ragtime by Joshua Rifkin who, perhaps, took this a little too far - but he retained the "ragged time" syncopations, he didn't gloss over them by swinging. But I'm open to persuasion! Would you quote some historical recordings of Joplin-era ragtime being swung?

Very beautiful playing for the sweetest rag of Joplin.

Scott Joplin would roll over and over in his grave in appreciation of this fantastic performance, Larisa, you have the composer's spirit with you, so good, so nice, so rare. Keep playing like this - it will carry humanity a long way, maybe for a thousand more years.

Isn't it supposed to be more a March than a Waltz? But you certainly make it work doing a bit of both. You have the incredible touch of the composer. Love it!!! Chuck

Do you play "Bethena" in 2/4? Why play ragtime in 6/8? You're a lovely player, but I think you'll look back on this and cringe!

@exaltedwombat - I've had a lot of comments on this. The reason I swing it is because it allows me to play it slower, which I think is better. And if you listen to historical recordings, a lot of ragtime was played in swing time, so I'm not entirely out of line.

wow.
I was listening to other versions of this song, and it didnt sound anywhere near as good as you play it. I love the swing that you add to it.
I am currently learning Grade 8 with Scott Joplin pieces, I will definately learn this piece in the future, I hope you dont mind me copying your playing style for it :p

Hi, I havent been on youtube for ages lol this is my 2nd comment :-) Have you ever heard of a song called 'The Mad Professer' and the 'Moody Boogie'. Because I have found a tutor and I'm taking my Grade 1 test in May time around Easter. I can now also do the 'C' and 'F' scales. happy playing!!!:-)
