    This piece drives the point home of Scott Joplin's genius. It's only 5 minutes, but it's a tour de force of melodies and harmonies. I'm awed by it... (but I may be a musical simpleton). You do a terrific job at it, your rendition is the most appealing to me of all I've heard, playing this piece.

      That Oboe The last tune he wrote. He was suffering from syphilis and was depressed and manic by turns, and the mixture of bouncy melodies and melancholy passages is very moving. The final coda is almost like Joplin saying goodbye - I would have preferred it a little more gentle and sad. But superb playing, nonetheless.

  • @MsSoundguy
    @MsSoundguy Pƙed 3 lety +1

    Thank you. I like your interpretation of this tricky and thoroughly enjoyable rag. It's interesting (to me, anyway) how you vary tempos between strains and within strains. There's nothing wrong with this in concert, which is what this is, but remember that rags were written mostly as dance music. The pianists certainly did their best to one-up each other, but again that was "concert." The rags themselves were dances. A change of tempo is not problematic, but a change within a strain screws up dancers. Remember the description of Coalhouse Walker, Jr. in "Ragtime": Club owners hired him, dancers required him. A delicate balance now, but you play beautifully, and listening to other videos, you obviously get it. Thank you. I'm an old fart who played starting back in the late '60s. That means nothing re: ragtime, just that I'm an old fart with arthritis.

  • @PaulWhiteguitar
    @PaulWhiteguitar Pƙed 7 lety +24

    Unbelievably great Kristen. This is a majestic piece of music and you dealt with it accordingly. What I like about your playing is that you follow Joplin's mantra of 'not playing too fast', the scourge of ragtime. Have you ever played Jelly Roll Morton? I'd be interested to hear you play 'The Crave' or 'King Porter Stomp'. Cheers, Paul.

    • @PanduPoluan

And you picked also my favourite pieces (for me" Frog legs " always was the hardest and I never could play Maple leaf rag so fast). I think Ragtime really deserves to be played like you do.
    Did you make a CD? It really inspires me to take up my own Ragtime playing, I stopped during my classical music studying at university. Ragtime was my first musical love.

Before that, i once could play 4 Scott Joplin pieces on the piano, including the Maple Leaf Rag but you play them much better than I ever did.

    Kristen is amazing, so jealous. Been trying to learn the Maple Leaf Rag and Kristen makes it look so easy. Hopefully I'll get it some day. I doubt I will ever be able to play it like Kristen does. Simply amazing... Great job and super talented.

    You're awesome Kristen. Also I shouldn't have chosen to learn this piece as a beginner haha, it took me so much time to figure out. Try "Palm Leaf rag" it was so easy to learn.

      Nope, first time. I guess I've had a sheltered life! Seriously though it is the first time. I enjoy ragtime but don't go out of my way to hear it. Unless of course Kristen is playing it.
