I'd argue that Max Keenlyside's Maple Leaf Rag Alt. or his live versions are best, but as far as the piece as written goes, I do have to agree with you.
@@1471SirFrederickBanbury Yeah, I'm a HUGE fan of Max's work, I like his Maple Leaf Rag played on two differently tuned pianos, I always liked his relaxed style, even when he's playing something at break neck speed he has this laidback nature to his playing.
@@PiotrBarcz couldn’t agree more! It’s something I’m still trying to achieve. Unfortunently, right now my playing is too big, bright, and loud, though I am getting closer. None of this is helped by my piano which makes everything blend together even when I am not using pedal. On brighter pianos with less sustaining though, I sound similar to Max’s earliest of videos, when he sounded a little more bombastic.
@@1471SirFrederickBanbury I hear you with the piano problem, I have generally bad technique and insensitive touch on the piano and playing an instrument with not enough attack definition and most of all, an action that is too heavy for my weak fingers, just makes everything sound loud, boring, monotonous etc. I'd assume your a better pianist than me though if you can play Maple Leaf Rag at all which I can't, at least not in the original key XD

Indeed, he claimed it was 1863 Steinway piano older then Joplin himself, but it reality the Gulbransen here was made in 1924 a couple years after Joplin’s passing.

I notice your hammer return springs are out of place sticking through the hammer shanks on the left in the video. They need to be put back in position in their slots on the hammer butts. It will improve your bass repetition radically.

@@RagtimeEverything you’re welcome. I too have been letting people know in the comments it’s your audio, they either don’t believe me, or they don’t care. Im on your side in this situation.
The piano needs a tune-up on the upper register, it's TOO out-of-tune up there. I do own a Gulbransen 5 years younger than this one and I have to say the sound is almost identical!
@Andrew Facemyer I listened a couple times more and now I actually think it isn't too bad. This comment was just my first impression on the piano. I listen to this a LOT.
I can play it well in any key except for B major lol, but I was playing in the original Ab in this video. When this video was recorded, the piano had been over a decade without a professional tuning. This piano had also spent 40-60 years in a bar/bowling club nearby before my parents acquired it in the mid 1990's, likely never having been tuned in that time. Since this video was uploaded, my discipline with dynamics (and especially tempo) in ragtime and my familiarity with the genre have developed considerably. I still have access to this piano and I think it would be interesting to post a new recording of Maple Leaf to see what kind of difference five years of practice can produce.
@@RagtimeEverything I think you did a great job of playing this song! The piano did need some tuning on the very high notes as they were considerably flat and the tempo was a little fast but other than that it was great!
@@RagtimeEverything Thank you for the reply! Just so you know, there is a great ragtime music site that has sheet music pdfs and mp3 files of classic ragtime pieces that you maybe could play, ragsrag.com. Nice playing and keep it up because people are going to want more!
I just knew that the guy who pirated your honest video was a lying braggard. I used to repair pianolas and recognised the impossible playing speed that human hands could not match and also the octave coupling that requires more than one pianist to achieve. He even took seriously my veiled exposure of his deception as a compliment of his 'playing'. 😝😜😜😜
“Tempo di Marcia” Joplin intended this piece to be played at 100-105 bpm. He even does so in his last piano roll. His later works are much slower at 65-80 bpm. His style and tempo changed massively in his career.
@@SQUAREHEADSAM1912 I like to be able to hear the notes not jumbled together. This piece sounds like a train on hard braking where all the cars are crashing into each other. It's a jumbled mess. I give you this rendition to listen to. ruclips.net/video/bCxLAr_bwpA/видео.html&ab_channel=DarioRonchi
@@williamjones4483 Nah, this style is perfect, the pianist in the video you linked plays it like it's a classical piece which doesn't really work at all in my opinion
Nothing sounds better than ragtime on a detuned piano, something charming about it.
Kinda like well-aged whiskey, right?
I absolutely agree, there is quite a charm.
But famous composers of the day would say other wise, playing on decently tuned piano’s.
@@SQUAREHEADSAM1912 it sounds like shit if you aren't tone deaf
