Maple Leaf Rag - way too fast

Показать описание

For shits and giggles, I decided on a whim to see how fast I could possibly play this. Yes, I realize there's no musicality in this take. It was a speed test given to me by myself for no reason at all. :P

"Ragtime shouldn't be played fast." That's what I've always been told and tried to follow, but a little experiment never hurt anyone.
I agree that ragtime shouldn't be played fast because of the style, etc.. but the REAL reason nobody tells us? BECAUSE IT HURTS.

My “Joplin Fave Five” album is now available on iTunes, Spotify, and Amazon music!

Well done as a speed test... But the "ow..." at the end is what really sealed it for me. Thanks for sharing and making my day!

Scott Joplin must be having a heart attack up there in heaven.

*tempo would like to know your location*

Lucas.I.think.

If you played it this fast in 1902, people would claim it was the devil's hand.

That "ow" at the end could not have been more genuine

I could care less if it is 'way too fast', it is simply amazing watching those fingers fly like that, I probably watched this video at least 20 times by now and will continue to do so, keep up the great work,

Lol set the speed to twice as fast and it's a fun experience, I am like dying 😂

iphoneperson

if you put the speed at .75 it sounds like the regular

You may not get to read this text, but I want to express my deepest admiration for your style, ragtime, your cleanliness and precise execution. Still shining piano star !!!
