I just heard Scott Joplin's "Maple Leaf Rag" on my classical music station, KUSC, 89.5 FM, LA. I wish Mozart could've heard it. I think that he would've loved it.

I love the old piano music from the early 20th century. My favorites are some old Boogie Woogie favories, such as Pinetop's Boogie Woogie This is a later rendition, but done well by a great piano artist.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Very nice, and the proper tempo (because he wrote it, he should know Smile).

Here is a more upbeat version, performed by the Swiss pianist Silvan Zingg, who did the Pinetop's Boogie Woogie I posted just above.

I did like Silvan Zingg's version better. He's an amazing pianist.

Now that was cool! Joplin's work transitions to a faster beat very well, I knew that, but that one was exceptional! Cool

Emerson, Lake and Palmer did a version of this on their Works Vol. 2 record. That was faster too.

Another Silvan Zingg item, not rags, but boogie woogie with dancers. This video is 11 years old, but William and Maeva were the world champion boogie dancers for about four years running. Silvan, of course, is right on.

This video came to my mind when I saw the first Silvan Zingg post in this thread. But I didn't know then that Zingg was the pianist.

That is perfect music for when you're in a hurry to relax.

Tempo must be relaxed, and rhythm must NOT be swung. It is often performed incorrectly.
