Here's Rod Miller playing the popular Ragtime piece "Maple Leaf Rag". In this video he plays the piece ultra-fast. In Ragtime, you don't play Ragtime pieces fast. The "Maple Leaf Rag" is one of my many favorite Ragtime piano pieces that I play on my piano at home. And I have played it just as fast as seen in the video below. Why? Just for fun and to see how fast I can play it without mangling it. I also played some Ragtime pieces at Gallaudet University on the theatre stage on campus one time for a small group of people as part of my music class I took, which was a complete joke, believe me. Nonetheless, I surprised them of my Ragtime playing ability. You don't hear very often from a deaf or hard of hearing person that plays Ragtime on a piano. Especially from an alumnus of Gallaudet University.
Maple Leaf Rag played ultra fast.
One of these days I'll digitize my piano playing the "Maple Leaf Rag" piece and put it up on YouTube. Just that I really do have a crappy piano that's atrociously out of tune which isn't much joy to play on. You can ask me to play a Ragtime piece on a piano anytime. I'm not kidding.
Will somebody donate me a baby grand piano?
Please? How about a digital piano then?
