Good for you, Daniel! What an incredible feat! 2 1/2 hours and 50 ragtime pieces from memory! ... just because you were bored and as a hobby! You express many features of what Ragtime welcomes and Eubie Blake encouraged: "Play it through the first time as the composer wrote ... then play it the second time the way you think it should have been written!" Fast ... slow ... Liberace ... JoAnn Castle ... even the piano rolls of Joplin ... tempos are personal and subjective ... you do you ... the "wishers" will always have something to find to nick-pick about ... but if they could do ... they would ... rather than comment. Keep up the good work!
I am a nearly 70 y/o struggling through The Maple Leaf Rag, making progress everyday. You bring great joy to my heart listening to you perform these forgotten gems. I will practice twice as long tomorrow, motivated by your great talent. Sincere thanks for sharing this!
Ok, so I've visited this video about 50 times. I listen to it while charting on my patients, while paying bills, while doing my taxes. This has been the background music of my life. I personally play ragtime myself, only Scott Joplin and a few others (I used to have the Black and White and 12th st. rags in my hands). This video has really made me a believer in learning non-scott joplin rags. Again, thanks a million!
@@pequod3782 Can't go wrong with ragtime and healthcare! :) Good luck. Centering your career around helping others is a really good move, and will make you love going to work.
You are so fortunate. I was able to do the same by violin. A medical catastrophic illness ended that. But, it came back as I watched my daughter and son play for me. And they still do. A great piano virtuoso such as you cannot exist without great appreciators of the piano virtuoso. I venture to guess that you bring a smile to the faces of your patients. 😄
I play accordion. After discovering ragtime and especially Scott Joplin, I can't play anything else. Listening to these 50 pieces, almost all by Scott is exciting. Incredible. Excellent!
What I love about this, aside from the amazing playing, is that he keeps in the mistakes to show that this kind of music is difficult and everyone makes mistakes. It also just gives it character. You’ve earned yourself a new subscriber!
I am so amazed how long he can sit there and hammer out one complicated measure after another, piece after piece! Been watching the clock in the corner. I haven't seen any skips!
You know how it is, rabbit hole.......I thought you were talented until I read dudes comment you did it without sheet music. Tip of the hat to you my friend. you are gifted.
My congratulations. Remembering by heart all those rags is quite a feast. But recalling Eubie Black and Scott Joplin, remember that rag may not be played fast. That ought to have meant 4 hours of ragtime playing....for our delight!!

Not only do i stand absolutely stunned at your memory and piano playing skills, i also admire your hands' stamina. My forearms usually start aching a few minutes after i try playing anything fast and i have to rest them a bit. But I guess it gets better the more you play. Anyway, this is absolutely epic and i like to listen to this often, whether it is playing videogames or studying. It's so long that its replayability is almost infinite.
This music is better than any anything you could ever take. I am sitting here listening, and I have the biggest, dumbest grin on my face! Thank you so much Daniel. My daughter was born with the same gift as you. I know your mother was so proud and so happy. I know she was. 🤗 Because she knew you had it.
Man this is great ! Some mistakes, sometimes lost totally, but 50 ragtimes in a row like this? I doubt many people can do it. Great job. I learned just Entertainer and Maple Leaf Rag and after a few months I forgot half of those songs... I wonder how u remember everything.
Don't have to tell you how talented you are. I am going to bet that your mom made you take piano lessons, instead of baseball or soccer. I could be wrong - but you have a gift, and thank you for sharing it with us. Wish I could be as productive when I am bored!
Thank you for including the score and sheets of music. It makes it that much more rich to see your video of amazing playing!! Way to go, very impressive!
Goodness 😀💕 why did I find this at 3:00 AM 😅 I found a huge Ragtime piano book for $1 at the library sale this week. Great work 👍👏 Saving this video for reference.
ive only recently got into ragtime and why are all the pieces so cool. i cant even imagine the joy of playing them think id break the keys playing out of excitement
I love your failures. This way seems pretty authentic and to see that is not that 'perfect' gives to it a lot of value and humanity. Thank you for this. Your arms hurt already? Ma Jisus they have to hurt. Amazing job.
Really? You are in a select elite. I don't need to see you playing to know it's you. You have your own tone, and the piano you play has amazing sound. I found you randomly. It must be a lucky day. Truly, I'm going to play Lotto today too! Thanks
*I am awed and tearful!!* I love musical talent :') 30 minutes let-alone *2 full hours* is astounding Thanks for sharing with the world! And keep keeping your joy
@just a name Shut the hell up you minuscule piece of nothing ... this person shared a video of him playing TWO HOURS of memorized ragtime pieces ... if you can do the same - do it ... otherwise, shut the hell up.
Wow! Outstanding playing! I'm 64 years old and just started 3 months ago trying to teach myself piano (can't afford lessons) and I have a little $150 electric keyboard from Target stores to learn on. I know it would take me 150 years to play like this! Ragtime is my favorite. Anyway, Outstanding job man. Keep on playing!
Something else. I’d love to attend a black church service. Unfortunately my days of travel are behind me. But they so enjoy themselves. I have a CD & I refer to it as “the big black ladies belting it out”. & it’s contagious. You can’t not shake your booty!

I love your music AARON!
Awesome comment. I have wanted to learn piano since I was in high school to play rag time. Now I just make computer sound music lol love this 🔥🍻
LOL, is he alive after this?
True respect boy
You gotta be a hardcore piano player to play 2 whole hours of what is already considered to be a hard genre to play.
I could play almost every single rag I can.
@@cameronleesimpson5742 Nobody asked for that
@@minplex7132 True,But rag is an excellent genre so why not.

_Never_ too late for some good old ragtime, sir! 👍🏼
Hope this is going well. As a fellow struggler with MLR, I know the feeling!
i feel you im learning because i need to play it for a school solo and im scared haha

Fellow healthcare worker and lover of ragtime here! Will definitely try charting to this
I do computer programming to this, no distracting words and a great pace to keep the mind active :)

1:44:20 Finally a chance to scratch his nose.
Oh my gosh, I play video games a lot and I feel the need to scratch my nose or whatever is itchy like every 5 minutes.
He does so at 56:41 already. No endurance =D
56:30
I found before.... 38:21
who will stare at him for so long, are you guys still human?
that's incredible how you can remember all those. mad respect my dude. mad respect.
I know and I have a hard time just memorizing one of the songs
maybe he's playing along to tunes on the headphones
Normally it’s not memorizing every note it’s just muscle memory
Quite right !!!
@@metamaggot even if he does tracks still have to be memorized
I can't believe this video is so underrated, it deserves way much more thumbs ups
I play accordion. After discovering ragtime and especially Scott Joplin, I can't play anything else. Listening to these 50 pieces, almost all by Scott is exciting. Incredible. Excellent!
Without boredom, the world would be a boring place!
Maple Leaf Rag has always been one of my favorite Scott Joplin tunes and you did it perfectly. You really know how to play these songs.
What I love about this, aside from the amazing playing, is that he keeps in the mistakes to show that this kind of music is difficult and everyone makes mistakes. It also just gives it character. You’ve earned yourself a new subscriber!
That's what a marathon not in sports, but in music looks like!
I am so amazed how long he can sit there and hammer out one complicated measure after another, piece after piece! Been watching the clock in the corner. I haven't seen any skips!
Pastime is always my favorite. The most unique by far.
Well this is the longest ‘ragtime piano sleep music’ I can find

You can do this, I started like this too, with the entertainer and 2 years later in playing fantasie impromptu
You can just hear this is an old western bar and then a whole shootout takes place. In other words, this is amazing.
This performance by such a young man you are to be congratulated hundred times over. Thank you for posting. Greetings from Canada, 2020.
That was really good playing man! I could never play ragtime for 2 hours, I think my arms would eventually fall off. This really needs more views!
Daniel, you the man! I ain’t seen anybody other Scott Joplin, play the Stride this accurate before! Keep it up and the world will be happier for it!
A ragtime compilation that actually includes wall street rag? Instantly liked 😎
Is there no limit in human memory but only a few people knew about it, thanks daniel to show us the way.

And I still listen to it almost everyday!
Thanks to you I finally found out what song was printed on a picture I have. It's Pineapple Rag!
Highly impressive, 2 and a half hours of playing!
Imagine his camera turned off and he had to record this again...
Super love this! I listen to this often while I'm working. Helps with concentration! Thank you!
My deepest respect, Daniel.
51:20 that transition into pineapple rag was good!
Am absolutely dumbfounded!! Put it supposedly as a background music and here I am watching you know...dumbfounded! Brother YOU RAG!!!
This brought tears to my eyes especially when you faltered and started again. It reminded me of my husband practising. He died last year.
an inspiration. watching this again a year after my first watch
Ragtime, Stride, Boogie Woogie, R'n'Roll simply are the best music. Besides all the other best music.
Excellent. Just the sort of entertainment we need now. Congratulations on spending your free time learning all this marvelous music.

FANTASTIC !!!!!! BRAVO !!!!! MORE PLEASE !!!!!! Thanks for sharing !!!!!
Nothing is impossible, - now that I have heard him play, I am convinced! Awesome feat, rekindles my enthusiasm for rag time.
Ce qui est génial avec les oeuvres de scott joplin c'est qu'il y en à tant x D ♥

it shouldn't really hurt your arms if your have good posture... and over working muscles are easily recoverable
How the hell do you only have not even 1000 subscribers.. Dude.. Maestro!!
Amazing performance!
Please come to Japan again ！！🥰 We'll be waiting for your visit sincerely 😘 I love you all ！
You have an amazing command of these rags.
Go Rag time!This should way more thumbs up!
Outstanding.
Awesome playing, you do some nice dynamics that make the pieces shine.
