I've been watching your channel for many, many years with amazement and delight. I bought your folios finally a while back and honestly the sophistication and expression in the various "big rags" in the volumes has re-brought me again such pleasure and emotional involvement, the more so as I spot details and decisions that were made in committing them to paper. The best works are simply marvellous and standout works in this genre. I sincerely hope you haven't stopped composing these things.
Thanks so much for your pretty music! I'm a new fan, after seeing you at the WCRF-2014. Hope you come back this year. So glad you younger guys are keeping the old music alive!
Wow! I stumbled onto this after watching a stride piano video of yours. A friend plays, so I was curious.. This is amazing! Such an incredibly talented fellow. I wish you the most success with your endeavors.:)
Max, just stumbled upon your channel. The first video I watched was you playing "Maple Leaf Rag" on two pianos in two different keys. Fantastic!!! I'm enjoying "Halcyon Rag". Is this in print? I'd love to obtain a copy. Thanks.
:). Nice to see you growing-and growing in your art, Max. Nice chromatic bridge to rest those sections around, too. Halcyon, indeed. When and where was this performed/filmed? (Looks like your instrument is growing, as well.)
Thanks, Bud! I recorded this in the choral room at Mount Allison University (in New Brunswick), where I'm currently a piano major. The piano is a lovely 7-ft Yamaha!
This one dates from 2010 & if I'm up on my Max Keenlyside "history" he would have been about 18. He wrote some remarkable stuff (some amazingly "Joplinesque" sounding) when he was 9 or 10 yrs old. If you search you can find a video from around or a bit before his 12th birthday where he made a CD with a number of his compositions. There's also a video at his H.S. graduation where the school band plays a march he wrote at age 14 & did a arrangement for the band to play when he was a senior in H.S. Wish we were hearing more from him today! Would love to see him perform live & get to meet him! One of the great musical geniuses of our time I believe...
