2 piano Maple Leaf Rag played blindfolded by Martin Spitznagel and Bryan Wright. Sorry about the video angle. I would have liked to shoot this from the rafters but this circus tent didn't even have a trapeze.
Actually, I think it would be harder to play in C blindfolded (and even not blindfolded). A-flat is easier on the hands. They're playing it in A-flat here of course. Blindfolded was enough of a challenge!
@phatcorns This was at the annual Scott Joplin International Ragtime Festival.

Where was this at? I just think it's interesting that everyone seems to know the music and are a very niche community.

@Henry1993bc Of course. That's where the whole thread started.

Great video, Martin your comic sense and timing are superb. I liked initial bifurcation from the tent pole - nice touch in the image composition.

That being said, though, Bryan does have a video up of himself playing it in F.
