This video will be RE-RECORDED. After much commentary and debates between fast and slow ragtime it is only fair for me to post both. The link to both both videos will be posted on both videos once I've recorded them.

  • No repeats?

    Still good though, 4/5.

  • Sorry :( No repeats in this recording... One of these days I'll fix up my recording rig and will be able to record more songs/versions :D

  • crap.

  • Thank you!

  • Scott Joplin invariably instructed us not to play ragtime fast. Why you no rissen?

  • I understand your viewpoint regarding Fast Ragtime. I plan to record a more original performance in future. I also recognize, though, that some do prefer faster ragtime over slower. Keep in mind I DO plan to, in future, record a more original performance.

    Thank you for your comments.

  • why did you play this song so fast? 

  • I don't mind the tempo. Ragtime can sound good both fast or slow.

    I don't like how you left out too many notes. And your left hand missed most of the correct notes near the end and you were playing the wrong chord.

  • Stop trying to act smart. It's not sped up buddy.

  • It's not fastfowarding buddy. LOL. It's called practice, Considering That's my piano teacher, and I've seen him play it. It isn't .

  • yeah, but it sure is a toe-tapper!!!

  • @jonjong9o

    Perhaps because I've seen people in real life play it even quicker than this...

  • lol fast forwarding... how come no one notices it :S

  • 5 stars.

    But I prefer the Rag Time played at a suitable speed, you know, when speed matches the player's hands gravity.

    Anyway, you're an amazing pianist!

  • that was amazing! great job ;)

  • sped up.

    with this quality of camera and the smoothness of hte hands and the movement of his head, i'd say it was sped up.
