    Joplin's ragtime is truly America's classical music he can't base anything based on those piano rolls from 1916 Joplin only cut those rolls for the money he jazzed them up he thought that no one would ever hear them widely he did it strictly for the money because Joplin was flat broke when he made those rolls if you want to learn Joplin's rags study Joplin's own School of ragtime Joplin published in 1908 the reason why we know is Joplin's words is because Joplin published it himself Joplin never ever swung his music swung his rags ever there's no swing on the maple leaf rag it can be played as a swing the maple leaf rag but it's was written as a classical piece not a swing piece you can jazz up Mozart and Bach does this mean they were jazz composers? We also know that the Debussy and Stravinsky also wrote ragtime so does this make them popular music composers? So there's a huge difference between the word ragtime and the name Scott Joplin Joplin took ragtime and turned it into classical music and it was Joshua Rifkin recordings no other recordings that raised joplins music from the dead this guy is simply poorly educated if you want to learn Joplin's music for real you study the School of Ragtime time not the Joplin piano rolls in 1916 then you got the music and you just play it if you can't play it just have a music teacher show you how to play Joplin's music is played like any other classical music as it was writtenJoplin was really not interested in writing ragtime anymore anyway but he always plays music like he wrote it according to the school of rag time which goes into how Joplin's music is supposed to be played in detail that's what Joshua Rifkin records are based on the School of ragtime if you want to learn the real Scott Joplin study Joshua Rifkin 1970 recordings

      Howdy, I think you’re saying something quite interesting here. But why would you write such an intelligent piece without any fullstops? I had trouble reading it.

    Josh, do you have a suggestion for a first ragtime piece for a beginner-intermediate?

      I found “The Chrysanthemum” to be a good Joplin composition to get started on ragtime. “Sunflower Slow Drag” is also a relatively approachable piece.

      I recommend starting with his waltzes, you'll learn and get comfortable with classic Joplin left hand octaves and chords. I think good rags to start with would be pineapple rag, peacherine rag, and of course The Entertainer. I've grown to avoid the ladder because it's so overplayed and people tend to be more interested in ones they're not familiar with, but it's kinda sacrilegious to not learn it I suppose!

    I did a really “ragged” recording some 8 years ago when I was just picking up piano again after a 50 year hiatus from playing. Took me about a year to get back to playing this at a recognizable level.

      I have no ambition to play at Josh’s level - I have too many other interests, and it takes a great deal of time to maintain such a high level. I do always challenge myself to improve, but mostly I play for selfish enjoyment. 🙃

      By the way, I have purchased some of Josh’s other pro-practice products for various classical pieces. They are not only helpful, they are inspirational. While following the videos, I feel like I can do some things I didn’t think I could, once they are explained and demonstrated in detail.

      Haha this is about as adventurous outside of classical as I get. If you want more jazz, check out the interview I did with Melanie Shore on my channel awhile ago. She is brilliant
