Highlights of the 2008 Old-Time Piano Championship held Memorial Day weekend at the Hotel Pere Marquette in Peoria, IL. 15 year-old Wesley Reznicek of Dixon, Missouri playing the Russian Rag by George L. Cobb which you might recognise as a Ragtime take-off on the Prelude in C# minor by classical composer Sergei Rachmaninoff.

  • Bravo! I admire anyone who can play ragtime with skill. And this young man certainly can do that. And he looks cute, too. A beautiful performance, Wesley.

  • Wonderful!

    Mr. Reznicek is a piano force to be reckoned with! 5 STARS!

  • This Rag is THE BOMB !!!! I'm going to see if I can arrange a theatre organ version !!

  • @C3P0meetsData

    Very astute! Yes, Rachmaninoff's piece is "Prelude in C# Minor," but Cobb wrote "Russian Rag" in D minor.

  • @rtpress Hah. Thanks for the sheets. I love the Prelude, and I think this is most definitely a worthy rag. Well, and Wesley is great!

  • @LorgonJortle

    I've added a link to the sheet music in the description area. Apparently, Rachmaninoff 's only comment to Cobb upon hearing it was, "Nice rag, but you've got the wrong rhythm."

  • @C3P0meetsData I think you're right. The first note should be A, G#, C#.... But it also looks like her's playing A#, A, D. My guess is that he just wanted an easier key. :-P

  • Amazingly played...but isn't it in c-sharp minor?...It could be the recording, but i definitely heard d-minor...

  • Wow!! you Rock Wesley!! ;-)

  • You are too damned right , he is awesome

  • As Tom Warner put it once, "Wes is Awesome!!"

  • Man this kid is great. Look out Adam Swanson, you have got some stiff competition out there now:-))
