It's nice to hear the original version. This is a popular tune at Fiddle contests, and I have heard some really incredible renditions, Mark O'Connor during a warm-up at Winfield in 1977 for example. Great Job Bach Scholar! I lost my copy of your Bach Chorales in a move, but I learned more about reading and harmony from your book than any other piano book I have ever bought.
I’ve just found this music in my mothers things and wondered what it sounded like. Thank so much. My Grandfather would have played it a lot as it’s so well used over 100 years ago.
When I was a child my parents bought a BBC Micro computer. I had a game for that computer called Repton, The Black & White Rag was the in-game music. The Black & White Rag by George Botsford sounds very similar to Maple Leaf Rag by Scott Joplin.
I was gonna say the same thing. Wasn't Repton an excellent game and extremely well written for the BBC Micro? Superior Software were brilliant. Listening to this is nostalgia.
I have been looking for this song. I remember my father playing his “ bandoria” and Me, accompanying him in the piano. It was a wonderful night of relaxation , after dinner.
I learned this piece a couple weeks ago after hearibg tom brier's performance of it, and I made a new ending as well. The piece follows the sheets, but i extended it to include a transposed version of the first strain (G->C) at the end. I found it very simple, as the chord progression in the first and second strain are the exact same. Anyway, great performance as always!
My grandmother played “Black and White Rag”, only song I remember her playing. I wonder had I kept taking piano lessons instead of switching to the accordion if I could have played it! Will never know!
@@friktionrc I have the music and have played it on the Roland accordion, which can sound like a piano, but never perfected it! I need to work on it! 🎶🎶🎶🎶
I have not found Rag Pianist like Marty Mincer that can play Black &White Rag so great even Adam Swanson that is great can't deliver B&W Rag with such an energy & enthusiasm. I'm glad I discovered Marty Mincer . Not to mention classical pianists of new generation like Katia Buniatishvili " The lady with golden fingers" , not to mention how presentable she looks , but her music l perssive by ear not eyes .
Imagine someone also singing to this in a club in the 1880s to 1960s when really being social was a thing. Do you feel good about having only a digital social life? It wasn't recorded so nobody knows exactly what went on at places that entertained with this song. (pLeAsE) Don't pinch the Dancers. This is a fun song to hear! Even more fun to play!
When I was a kid about 33 years ago my parents had a BBC Master Acorn Computer and there was a game by Superior Software called Repton. The main programmer was called Tim Tyler and at the time he was 15 years old when he designed the game. He and his team also programmed the music to the game and the music was The Black And White Rag.
The playing is about as blah as it gets, "the right notes, but no music comes forth." I'd direct your students to a teacher who is, you know, musical. Your sight-reading boast does not withstand close scrutiny or comparison to those sight-readers who are legend within the classical community.
And who are "those sight-readers who are legend within the classical community"? And you are wrong on all counts. You have no idea what you are talking about. Do you play this piece or ragtime at all? Can you upload your own "musical" performance of it? And why would I "direct" students to someone else, since this is how I make my living?
I agree with Muse in saying that this interpretation is a bit 'too sterile,' and has a very classical approach to it, one of high precision and a sense of cautiousness towards the notation on the page as opposed to the 'feel of the music.' I believe that Terry Waldo said in his book that people who play ragtime nowadays (back in the 70s when he wrote it) know how to play all the right notes, but miss the point of the music by not adding their own embellishments and personal flair. Tom Brier is a very good example of what Terry considers a good performer of ragtime.
I have listned to over 12 difrent people playing this song and you play it the best
Amazing. Wonderful.

Such a happy tune.
Wow! You’re amazing!

Excellent! Good tempo, very nicely done.
Very clean nicely done

The Black & White Rag by George Botsford sounds very similar to Maple Leaf Rag by Scott Joplin.
There was a game on the Commodore 64 called “Son of Blagger” that had used the tune too.
awesome i just started this song and its great help
I've known this for 30 years as the Repton theme music. Nice to finally hear the whole piece! :)
I was gonna say the same thing. Wasn't Repton an excellent game and extremely well written for the BBC Micro? Superior Software were brilliant. Listening to this is nostalgia.
Dad played Repton a lot as a child, we installed a BBC Micro on the home computer and I got to play it and hear this music!
Brilliant, simply brilliant!
I have been looking for this song. I remember my father playing his “ bandoria” and Me, accompanying him in the piano. It was a wonderful night of relaxation , after dinner.
It's not a song.
A great tune which sounds even better on a ragtime tuned piano.
Congrats from Argentina 🎵
Where can I find the sheet music for this? ☺
Brilliant!
Great song! Looks fun to play as well.
Im a bit late, but ragtime is very fun to play :)
I enjoyed that, thanks!
Fantastic! Thank you so much.
How did you do it
Oh this looks fun! Thank you!

Very nicely done, and the first time I've ever seen it played with score sheets.

Never too late to start

This reminds me of either LIttle House on the Praire saloons, or background for a Mario-esque game.
Класс! Обязательно разучу! Спасибо за урок!
EXCELLENT! bless you..david
Bravo!
Stage 5
nice!
I loved playing this rag. This one, 12th Street Rag and Maple Leaf Rag. It was easy to modify.
Beautifully played here! Thanks for sharing!
Excellent. Many thanks
DVD:)
Impressive!
makes it look easy
Recording is rather "blured "?
This is great but it has quite a few differences to the version I've been working from. Can you tell me where I can find this arrangement?
Ragtimes just are the most beautiful type of music😂
Very good.
Where can I get this sheet music?
Eine besonders gelungene Interpretation des B&W Rag! Das Tempo von Winifred Atwells Interpretation halte ich für zu hoch.
Imagine someone also singing to this in a club in the 1880s to 1960s when really being social was a thing. Do you feel good about having only a digital social life?

Wow! I haven't thought about Repton on the BBC Micro B since about 1985! 👍
Nice! I like the use of two hands on some of the arpeggiated runs.
A new, undistorted version of the center tune for Plaque Advanced Camaraderie from Everywhere, An Empty Bliss!
Wow
Молодец!!!
wowwww :) love it

...а где скорость исполнения? "Black and White Rag" - играют на высокой скорости - в этом суть гениальных пианистов.
I wish I could move my left hand like this 😢
Winifred atwel was original
You just got yourself a new student, sir!
Congrats on your marriage!
:)
1:75 speed ITs A 1920s WeSTeRN!!!
Bullshit, it is too fast then
Not to criticize your flawless performance, but why do you play with practically no emotion?
Because I like to.
What? He should play _rubato con lacrimosa_ in a three-minute rag?
this song actually doesn't use much emotion
Oh.
I’m So Sorry About Aurthor’s Death.
Lol This is dumb
who's Aurthor
neurasthenic version...
This video is so emotionless....
I played this when I was 13-14. Disliked it

Yeah let's see your attempt I'm due a laugh
+BachScholar take absolutely no notice RUclips is full of trolls

Rightly or wrongly, I liked it.
