  • wat is that he is playing in the beginning? did he make that part up? bcuz i havent heard it before in the ragtime dance before....and if it is part of the song, where did he get this version? bcuz i like that beginning part....

  • I tracked down a copy of the original sheet music from the 1902 song version of this piece and posted a link in the description area.

    Ragtime is, according to some, America's own classical music. Its supposed origins in midwestern brothels on out-of-tune pianos is but a tiny portion of the flavor. The composer, Scott Joplin, had classical training, as do many practitioners of ragtime today. The late Winifred Atwell usually played ragtime on her "other" piano. Check out her Black & White Rag, and compare to other performers, other pianos. I like them all!

  • いい!

  • I keep coming back to this video as it inspires me every time I'm about to sit down at the piano. Such a wonderful interpretation!

    theres no such thing as a 'honky tonk' piano. Honky tonk is just a term used for a piano that is slightly detuned and makes a specific sound used for this kind of music :\

  • Ragtime makes me happy. Good work, Brian !

  • its not a honky tonky piano as its supposed to be for this type of music

  • Brian, I have never heard of Ragtime Dance before this performance, and you did a fabulous job with it! Sincerely,Allen Dale.

  • Fantastic. This music is so hard and he makes very smooth. Wonderful.

  • Excellent, very entertaining as it was meant to be!

  • That is a great playing, but it is not the original Ragtime Dance, but very nice !
