Duly noted. Appreciate you taking the time to watch the unmemorized version, anyway, and providing constructive comment. All the best! 😊

@@PianoAddict-55 Very courteous response to my bluntness. I speak as someone who got in the habit of reading a lot of music, and recently decided to start memorizing things - it is gratifying. Try it, you'll like it!

I completely agree with you It is more gratifying. That said, I would invite you to take a look at some of the other videos on this channel, most of which were performed after committing them to memory. Your comments....good, bad or blunt.....are always welcome.

Thank you! I really appreciate your support!! :-)

Fascinating. I had read that during the Victorian period that fruits such as the Pineapple were signs of prestige, wealth and luxury. Thanks for watching and sharing!

Thanks!!

Thank you!!

I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thank you :-)

Yo también. Esta es definitivamente mi pieza favorita de Joplin.

Thank you very much!

Thanks!!

Just look at this interpretation by Evgeny Kissin. it has a darker aura and there is more tension its just scarier and not that boring and monotonous

Evgeny Kissin is a spectacular pianist and arguably one the best performers of Rachmaninoff's work alive today. He's very entertaining, theatrical and his interpretation of this prelude is quite emotional and nuanced. It's super impressive. Can only dream/aspire of playing like him someday. Solid feedback. Appreciate you watching and providing comment.

​@@MarcCro-ku8ur He doesn't sound like Evgeny Kissin of all people and you think he hasn't even taken lessons? 🤣 Try to have a little perspective. Have you ever taken lessons? Playing any Rach is all out warfare, like riding a bike on a highway. You thank God when you get through it without being obliterated. That said, that's a good direction to point towards. Kissin is a master with Rachmaninoff, and we could all draw some lessons from him.

I think he played it exceptionally well- lessons or not… why does that really matter? I say bravo!! 🍾👏🏻

Thanks again! Much appreciated!

That means a lot to me coming from you. You're a phenomenal pianist and I've been enjoying your work for some time. Thank you!

I know, right. Not sure why I had to practice it so much 😊. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for the feedback. Is that referred to as a Studniowka?

@@PianoAddict-55 yes indeed

Thanks for watching. It’s also fun to play 😊

Ha! It's a good week when you have positive feedback from two Marcus's. Thanks so much!

Thanks! I agree the B&W speaks more to the mood. Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks and appreciate you watching!

Appreciate the compliment and thanks for watching! Good luck with your piano journey, as well 😊

I'll do better and reply, too! Thanks for watching :-)

Wow. I certainly don’t play it perfectly but that’s one tough teacher.

Thank you!

Much appreciated! Thanks for watching.

Ha! Thank you!!

Thanks so much!

:-). Glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you! Really appreciate you taking the time to watch. Enjoyed learning/recording that piece. Bach Inventions are masterful compositions.

¡Gracias por el amable cumplido! Estoy totalmente de acuerdo contigo en los dos últimos apartados. Tienen mucho ritmo y alma. Mi trapo favorito también. ¡¡Te deseo lo mejor para que aprendas esto y lo reproduzcas públicamente algún día pronto!! :-)

Appreciate you tuning in to watch it! Thanks!

Thanks! I tried to add more pronounced staccato/crescendo. Not a difficult song to learn but definitely challenging to perfect, starting with keeping a steady tempo (that doesn't get away from you).

Much appreciated! Thanks for the comments and taking the time :-)

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks for watching. It's appreciated!

Thanks for the kind words. Very motivating!

Thanks! Appreciate the compliment :-)

Thank you very much!

I completely agree. Absolute genius. The Sting was also fantastic. This piece really showcases Joplin’s diversity in terms of complexity, rhythm and changing melodies. Thanks for watching.

If you can't play a piece perfectly, slow the tempo until you can. The great thing about rag is that when you have learned to play it very slowly, you are almost done. 😊 Emulate Joshula Rifkin. ruclips.net/video/qVhYSUz3ejU/видео.htmlsi=3HHq4gjRKIc3X8Ad

There's a recording of a piano roll on the web purportedly by Joplin himself. You'll have to search for it. RUclips is not allowing me to post a link.

This is the right tempo.

Thanks!

Thank you!!

Thanks for taking the time to listen 😊

Much appreciated. Thank you!
