In this recording I use the harmonic pedal (only) in resonance half-position. The harmonic pedal was invented by Denis de la Rochefordière.

Notice how chill and relaxed his hands are
And the song is like ur so late for work
Probably because he can play way harder pieces! For example the Chopin Etudes really stretch you hands
@@thegodfather1499 nope. It's the his finger setting technique. But his attitude towards the piece shows through his playing here. In a sense that does reflect in the video to your example of this piece vs. Chopin etudes.
@@Ianthe22 no one cares. Say all you want
@@MyHealthyPlate_recipes apparently you did enough to reply...
Wow .. this reminds me of my mother .. she used to -play all of Joplins rags. She was the soul of the party, she could get everyone laughing and dancing. Folks would be holding their sides, tears rolling down their faces in fits of laughter as she sang and played the "Laughing Policeman". Such wonderful memories! My mom could sure make that piano move when playing.
oh wow aw
Ty for sharing
That was Mrs. Mills! LoL!
The best mom
I move my left hand in the same way, when i clean the table.
Well then go play the song!

That's actually easy. The hard part of this song is, that the left hand plays a simple rythm 1 - 2 - 3 - 4, but the right hand plays 1.5 - 2 - 2.5 - 3 - 3.5 - 4.5 and then 1 - 1.5 - 2 - 2.5 - 3.5 - 4 - 4.5 . To catch this timing right with both hand together is super tricky and even a metronome doesn't help much here.
@@jiriurban5772 youre right! But you can learn it
Thank you for playing this at a balanced tempo and as written. More Joplin would be welcome.
the best version i have heard so far because it avoids over-interpretation.

what's overinterpretation?
@@selladore4911 like trying too hard to make the piece ‘your own’ if that makes sense. by doing things like using too much rubato (slowing down for interpretative purposes) or using weird phrasing, just anything like that in an attempt to make your interpretation unique, but then it ends up being too much/sounding forced, which is what over interpretation is
@@6894q got it
Paul played this pretty much EXACTLY as written.
I learned this song after 8 months of practice from another video, but this video helped me actually read each note after learning the whole song. I thought I may have been slightly off with some of the notes and I was. It was good to see all the signs for "rest" so I could perfect my timing. This video really helped me clean the song up. Thank you so much, Paul!
1:55 to 2:05 is really giving trouble with learning and playing up to tempo. Watching this video allowed me to see how to play it! It helped me a lot.
My goodness both his hand are so relaxed makes me think I have a lot more to work on my tense fingers
i think its something you get after playing a song many many times, when you know it well and you feel confident playing it your hands stop being tense and start dancing softly on the keys
@@izzy8655 👍 youre right, just practise
@@cdllc1956 no way its the real Beethoven
@@tibasproductions7267 I am
You have to use arm weight but keep a firmness to your hands so they don't just flop around and get sloppy.
I aspire to play someday like you
Good on you!
Scott Joplin said that ragtime should not be played fast.
I think you got the exact tempo the wanted them to be played in, good job!
To watch something so beautiful, played so effortlessly is pure genius.
I like it a lot that the left hand syncopates with the march 2-step rhythm once in this piece (played twice) in the trio part at 2:00 and 2:20, and that the right hand plays the march 2-step instead.
Wonderful! I have been struggling with the simpler version but this one ....the way you play it is simply fascinating....I think the elephant would enjoy it too... running the risk that it might make all the seismographs in the area go crazy if it decides to dance to the rhythm!!!
I very much enjoy your technical accuracy. Another great performance as always.
I've heard many people play this, but this is by far the best interpretation I've heard. Something about the voicing makes this sound so nice. Another great video, Paul :)
* bar fight intensifies *
Anywhow, I love the articulation =)
Ah give me the mind to think what is happening in the bar the song makes me think
Ottima interpretazione. Senza variazioni di stile . Grazie per averci reso partecipi di questo capolavoro. Bravissimo.
Cool cat! The right hand melody was played so crisply.
Hey Paul, any plans on doing any Rachmaninoff or Liszt any time soon? I'd love to hear your approach to some of the more popular pieces such as Rach's Piano Concerto no 2 mov 1 or La Campanella.
I'd love to hear his Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2
The Maple Leaf Rag is popular
Very few people play this piece as written. 98% of videos they are playing WAY too fast. I like to hear it played at the correct tempo. Well done this was lovely.
This is played at the correct tempo which gives it the proper feel throughout.
Dancing hands at work. Well done!
Another flawless performance. Great work.
your technique is immaculate 😯😯😯
Wow, what an amazing performance. I really enjoyed how steady you played it. Great job....
Very clean performance. Right-on tempo.
Yass... I've been waiting for this!
Good Morning , Paul Barton - Thank you so much for sharing this very inspiring music with everybody ! May God Richly bless you and keep them all , God bless you all 💙🙏

Thank you for showing the score while playing - very helpful for a learner.
An excellent performance! I tried learning that piece years ago, but I found the left hand too difficult for my skill level, especially in the trio section.
Bravo! My favorite Joplin by my favorite RUclips performer!
One of the best renditions!
I love how the piece swings
Lovely hand independence
Как всегда: чудесная Музыка и прекрасное исполнение! Спасибо!
Paul, you always play this piece so well. But I really think your previous recent video of this with the little riffs included is the better of the two. Those riffs just somehow tie everything together. The tune sounds more complete with them in there. Joplin knew what he was doing by including these!
That piano roll wasn't Joplin's work.
Elegantly played
BLESS YOU FOR THE SHEET MUSIC !!
Nicely played, sir. Thank you
i will try this piece, how awesomely you play🥺
It makes me happy😊
Gracias Paul por ese aporte,siempre te sigo,es una Pieza que podría compararla hasta con Chopin.Saludos desde Venezuela.
clear like crystal ! Fantastic.
That's the most attractive version of maple leaf I have ever heard
Very clean. My only note is that it would be more representative of the style of the left hand was slightly louder, but other than that it was perfect.
This looks/sounds incredibly fun to play!
soo tru my g
It is!
Koselig pianomusikk som jeg blir glad å lytte til 🎶🎵🎶🎹🎹😊
Une fois, je suis allé à un récital de piano où on a joué du Ravel, du Debussy, du Satie et du Joplin. En regardant mieux le programme j'ai réalisé avec étonnement que l'oeuvre la plus ancienne jouée ce soir là était celle de Joplin!
Debussy is more older
Thanks, I really enjoyed that.
very easy looking, and high quality sound.
thanks a lot.
Beautiful as always!
Absolutely sensational!
THIS IS MY FAVORITE PIANO SONG!! 2:25 I love this part
Wow Paul Barton, you make all the piano pieces you play seem so easy; your playing is wonderful! Thanks for all your uploads.
Que maravilha... simplesmente fenomenal, obrigado por compartilhar, vai ajudar muito meu desenvolvimento no piano! Ganhou mais um inscrito😎🎹
I really like this rendition
Great performance. I love this 😃
Beautifully played! Congrats my friend!
I learned a lot. im training this song just now.
Interprétation magnifique, quel merveilleux pianiste êtes vous, vous jouez avec une telle facilité que cela fait rêver ! merci que du bonheur !
He plays very nicely, but I notice that he is adding another E flat octave in measure 4 every time through the first section.
Thank you sir
Lovely performance, Paul, I challenge anyone to sit still while listening to this!.
Paul, I was first attracted to your wonderful, loving elephant "serenades", but then grew to appreciate your piano talents apart from that. I grew up listening to my Mom playing rags by Scott Joplin, who in my opinion was an underappreciated genius.
Are you familiar with William Bolcom's three "Ghost Rags", Graceful Ghost Rag, Poltergeist, and Dream Shadows? If not, I urge you to check them out; they are an absolute delight! And quite challenging, as I have heard. Thank you for your videos, especially those with your charming daughter Emilie.
Really enjoying this version. Am I correct in thinking you are using almost no pedal - with a bit on the wide leap bars in part 3? And maybe on the final cadence? It all sounds a lot more effective and clear than a big echoey performance with the dampers lifted and lots of reverb.
I’ve just started having a look at The Cascades - lots of pedal markings in there, but it feels like if you played them as written you would end up with musical mush - will have to have a look at how you tackle that one!
Este estilo de Música empezó en estudios como el #49 el Op.740 de Czerny y el 39# del Op.337 de Czerny
I really love this song.
Awesome performance
Incredible Video!!!
Amazing... Thanx for this video 🙂
Excellent. A+
Beautiful !
Is there some piano piece you can't play ?
Wow! Sounds so much better when played by a real pro as opposed to beginner me
Thank you ! I was waiting for this too ! Any other ragtime ?
Wow clean and pleasant!
Amazing!
Very good
THAT was fun!!!
Wow!
That was so cool

I can do the the others but the “Trio” part is irritating.
relatable
Buddy The Dog im not a music genius but I think that part can be played with many instruments preferably 3. I think there is another meaning for it tho.
It really is. I'm learning this for a studio recital and I somehow keep messing up my fingering for the first few measures of this trio. I can play everything else fine, though.
@Buddy The Dog "Trio" is an italian word that means "three". With "trio" you refer to a group of three people/instrumentalists. But, instead, the "Trio" in the Maple Leaf Rag is an interlude, a piece inside a piece.
@@francescoc But it sounds like 3 instruments because the left hand is playing two melodies at the same time (and the right hand is playing the 3rd one)
Ideally and without any extras:) Thanks for the performance) Paul, did you ever think about playing Rakhmaninoff's musical moment op.16 no.4? It would be very interesting to hear your performance.
Someday I'll play like this
Very interesting to hear a classical maestro play ragtime.
And play it as it should be played!
Is there a reason for the "unsanctioned" repetition of the E-flat chord in BAR 4?
yes. sounds nice
I've been curious about that myself.
Great! 👏👏👏
Thank you
Fabulous
I'm finding the Trio very difficult esp the left hand. Any advice welcome.
With the trio the most difficult part is that damned arpeggio. You could try playing it as an octave phrase which takes some more bouncing around but you don't need to use 4 fingers, only 2. I can barely do it and I just ignore it for the most part. The long jumps are muscle memory, do them slowly and get the feel for swinging your hand down low and then get up to speed as you get more accurate.
Lhe falta um pouco de alegria pois éssa música deve ser tocada de forma alegre
Bravo...!
Hi Paul you should do the Chopin ecossaises
I randomly search for a song and I see that you've played it years ago… What in the world is going on..
Flawless
Eu gosto dessa música mais rápida, então acelerei para 1,25x.
Super!!!!👏👏👏👏
This was "rock'n roll in Joplin 's day.
so cool!!!!
I love you obedience to the phrases, very few slurs, just amazing, but you play alot of the notes staccato.
Irodragon When I play this piece I play it legato and I prefer this interpretation from Paul Barton much more clean and enjoyable. You can clearly hear notes played by the left hand, which is way better then the legato interpretation in my opinion. It’s so hard to play it like him though!
@@crimsonair8890 I agree, but some notes he plays he makes stacato. its like some baroque era music, there is no slur lines so you play them detached but no stacato.
Irodragon even though his dynamics (sorry if my vocabulary is not great) are not exactly as what’s written down, he seems to play it the way he likes it and there’s nothing wrong with that. I like it too!
@@crimsonair8890 So um do you think that there are too many stacatos but its good its not legato, I dont quite understand your stance at the moment
Paul plays the slurs where slurs are do but generally speaking Joshua Rifkin's interpretation is more accurate in that respect. It's played a little more legato which gives it a smoother sound and clarifies each phrase and how well everything meshes.
I have been playing so much on my new keyboard that has rly good bass and speakers, that when he plays a deep note I feel bass in my desk, oh and did I mention im using earphones.
That Feurich is amazing in terms of tone.
Magnificent! 👏👏
Very well done! I have also mastered the song and I am very impressed by how accurate your left had is in section C! That section is not easy to get right, VERY well done. One thing that may or may not make the performance better would be to hold the swing slightly more in the chord progressions specifically in parts A and B. This is not necessary, it just comes down to personal preference. the only question I have is how long did it take for you to fully master the song? It took me about a month and a half and I want to know how I would compare to others and again, Very Nice!
this transition hits me in the feels knowing how life was like for Scott Joplin 2:20
