Welcome to my youtube channel, I am an Italian artist born and living in Trani on December 24 - 1982, here you can find some of my interpretations of piano works by Bach, Joplin, Couperin, Scarlatti, Chopin and others. If you like you can also listen to my own compositions I wrote for piano, orchestra, oboe, cello, trumpet, etc. Thanks and enjoy! Dario Ronchi
People make jokes about old music and if they were like we are now when we hear new music. You know they were like aye you hear that Joplin drop? It slaps lol
2:02 there are a few notes that got skipped around here that I’ve heard in every other version I have ever listened to and my ears just can’t get past it.
Joplin may have approved, but I prefer the historically correct interpretation of ragtime, but you can only achieve this by gathering 200 working class folk and cramming them in a smoke-filled saloon built for 50 while the pianist plays on a crappy upright piano (and on an empty stomach).
Beautiful. There's a competition on the internet to see who can play the piece the fastest. Here, a wonderful pianist finally plays the piece at the correct tempo.
I just came from listening to Luke Faulkner play it. Both of you sound beautiful. What a lovely piece. Your surroundings are beautiful as well. Thank you! ❤️
Sounds great! I’ve just started having a look at this one and came on here to get an idea of what kind of speed people are playing it at. You play it really well!
He uses some pedal in this performance. If you listen to his left hand you can hear when he uses the pedal. For example a pattern that I notice is that sometimes on the first note of a new harmony, and sometimes the last, he holds the pedal for a second then the rest of the notes are short. Another pattern I heard, at 1:49 when his left hand is alternating from low to high chords, he holds the pedal on the low one and releases it on the high one. I’ve heard different versions with different amounts of pedaling in different places so experiment a little and do whatever you like best
The pedalling is so good! Perfect tempo, perfect dynamics, clear notes, perfect playing. If it wasn’t for the small mistake at 2:21 this would be the perfect performance of this piece in my opinion!
The tempo is perfect as are the dynamics. Joplin wrote these tunes and he wrote them like a classical pianist, everything is laid out exactly as he wanted and it's meant to be played the way it was written and your performance is probably the cleanest and most accurate in the world right now. Finally a recording made on a respectable instrument too! Those who say this is too fast or too slow should study more, those who say that this should be swung should get their head examined because Joplin would've killed a man for swinging this tune in the obnoxious manner most people do.
Thought maybe I could play it because it’s just a “little” fugue. I can’t even do the first page. So I’m working on just a Bach Invention for now. Hopefully within a few years I can come back to this piece. Sounds amazing and I love how you play it. Sometimes I listen on repeat.
Your incredible at this, I’m learning this piece and the next part I need is the 3rd part, maple leaf is a great song, I hope I’m able to play it as good some day!
I swear I heard this song randomly through my childhood. I don’t remember a single time I willingly chose to listen to this, yet I’ve heard it a million times. I didn’t even know the name of the song
I don’t know if you people will understand me, but if I move the speed up to 1.25. It becomes more lively than what a typical rag sound like. It makes me feel more alive!
Amazing to think Joplin wrote his rags on a basic upright piano! What would he have thought listening to it played on a grand piano?? It's a shame really but great credit to ronchi and marvin hamlisch for keeping his music alive today!! Most of today's artist's are plonkers who can't even read a note 🎵 of music and use the piano as a prop!! True ragtime will never die because of Scott Joplin, simple.❤❤😊😊!
