That was aweeeeeeesome! really! I'm amazed by how fast you moved with the right hand hahaha! I'm not into rag that much (for playing) but performances such as yours make me want to play that !

That was great.

Overall it's a very good performance. I'd be careful not to speed up. It most noticeable in the last strain. I think you can take a slightly slower, more relaxed tempo. This is one of Joplin's more lyrical rags. Hope this helps. I perform ragtime in festivals so I know the style incredibly well.

i enjoyed this. i had not listened to this in quite a long time. nice job. i think you could stand to try and 'relax' a little, i think it would add a little 'slack' to your tempo and give you a bit mellower sound esp in the right hand (it looks 'set' and 'stiff') but you managed it quite well and it is indeed a fine performance. congrats on your work on this!

i think the only thing it needs is a rowdy bar fight in the midst of your playing wity flying glasses of bear breaking on the wall next to you and you just keep playing away...



btw if you're looking for another rag to work on as a next piece this is a sweet little number not usually performed

the pianist is awesome he 'sight reads' the hardest music (though tecnically this is prolly his 2nd or 3rd time reading this)

Thank you so much for your replies !! :) , yes my tempo was speeding at the end , I think I was a little nervous, I'll try to not speed up next time. Btw I liked the bar fight idea but I think it will end up with flying bullets breaking next  to me , so keep playing is not a good idea  :P .
