I look mostly through the corner of my left eye, but ragtime stride is so natural now that I can pretty much do it in my sleep. It gets this way after playing ragtime for almost 40 years.

40 years?! WOW! No wonder that you can play so well.
I know that kind of music is addictive
His left hand movements are fascinating to watch!
Great music.
I'm going to have to start playing some more Ragtime again.
If you didn’t know, this song inspired the Inkwell Isle 1 OST from cuphead!
Same as the rosebud march for inkwell isle 2 :)
That's the best tempo for this piece.
Yes, most performers take it too fast. It's a slow drag.
'Four years later...', but still worth mentioning: If you read Scott Joplin's scores, he tells performers to play slowly at the header of every composition, and sometimes says something like, 'Notice: Do not play this too quickly. It is never right to play "Ragtime" quickly.' If he was the father of Ragtime, then he certainly knew how it should be played. Rags are based on cakewalks and marches. The Cakewalk is a stately, walking dance, not a gallop.
Most performers play rags as if the house is on fire and the beer is going to run out. By doing so, they lose all of the nuances and emotional effect of the music.
you play it EXACTLY AS it should be You are one of theeee best pianist of joplin I have ever head and I heard them all! Just wanted to share that with you czech out my collages on sammy gilford
No wonder StudioHMR took inspiration from this when making cuphead
Ah this brings back memories! There was this guy I knew who was soo nervous about playing this song that he rehearsed it every day till everyone who was there "hated" him and this song! Nonetheless, if only heard once in a while this song is very catchy. Nicely done.
One thing that really helps is to memorize the left hand first. Separately learn the progression of bass notes (usually on beats 1 & 3), and then the chords (on 2 & 4). It also helps to analyze the chords -- that'll help understand where the song's going and recognize patterns that happen in practically all rag-time! :)
My sunflowers look like crap. Maybe because I've had them indoors, and they haven't gotten enough light.
Just play it and don't worry...he didnt!
What are going on about
your interpretation is perfect! and love whatever you have added. Josh R.
parents were my neighbors on Bank St.they were very cranky
I don't like the fact that the performer took parts an octave higher. That is NOT the way Scott Joplin wrote it.
it's ragtime, it's not *meant* to be played exactly as written! Listen to Joplin's own recordings of his music- he does the exact same thing ;)
lol dude, in this tradition you aren't supposed to just play the score! you gotta add your own flair. composers would pen simplified versions of their tunes for one thing so that others didn't steal their tricks, but also because more elaborate and difficult sheet music wouldn't sell as well.
Joplin played the repeat of each theme an octave higher is his piano rolls.
I find this to be the most of fun to play of all the Joplin rags I have tried. You do a great job with it.
I know exactly what you're talking about. He doesn't just play the piano, he PLAYS the piano. If you know what I mean.
Love your playing. I had a piano and have played for years. My piano was all broken up and not worth fixing so now I'm wanting a new one. I miss playing ragtime and classical.
Why is this song so good!? Thank you so much for posting this! I have been listening to this on loop for so long! :)
Yesss first time I've heard it and I'm addicted!! Mashing repeat button
Nice n raggy.
Some of this rag sounds very close to The Entertainer to me in parts.
Perfect pace,
Love it. Add a Fermata between those parts in the C section, a good pause and get the audience to listen then come in with it! I think that was the intention.
Followed
So enjoy hearing and watching you play! I love to play the Scott Joplin rags as well!

Happy Birthday Mr. Hayden. The best ragtime composer in my opinion; he would have been 136 years old today.
Scott joplin taught him, so he was taught by the best.
He died at very early age.
"slow drag"
*Proceeds to play it at 6,000 BPM*
Yeyeyeye
So this is what this tune sounds like! Believe it or not, I've never heard this tune until now. I like it! I don't think I'll learn it though...I'm not a great pianist like you! Do you take requests? If so, I'd love to see what you could do with Neil Moret's "Hiawatha".
Absolutely Incredible! I love all of your Joplin stuff, keep 'em coming! ;)
Fantastic Job, Cory...You really "NAIL" the syncopation, as it SHOULD be done. Or the "RAG" in Ragtime... VBR
How has it been a year and nobody guessed sunflower slow drag
What a fantastic performance- definitely one of the harder Joplin rags, in my opinion anyway!
The other thing is, I think you've got an absolutely perfect tempo for this rag. So many rags are either played way too fast because of the piano rolls, or too slow, as people follow the "Not fast" tempo too literally!
For me, pineapple, fig leaf, and maple leaf rags were harder.
@@JosiahFickinger What about New and Magnetic
@@scurly0792 Never really tried. I thought the melodies were really strange and not something out of a saloon as much.
@@JosiahFickinger Ah, those are the ones I learnt / am learning
@@scurly0792 Okay! I don't think magnetic rag or New Rag are weird, just the style of piano playing I didn't care for it.
Excellent, thanks.
this is great! :D
Yeeeow! Great rendition of an old favourite!
really great
Nicely done! Bravo!
I like how you put a lot of emphasis on the 6th black key from the left towards the end of the song
The theme park up North of Idaho, Silverwood is Western themed, and plays Scott Joplin songs, as well as other 1930's type songs.
This is one of the songs that I remember playing.
This isn’t exactly a “1930’s song,” as Ragtime had kind of died down by then. I would say this is more of an “early 1900’s song.”
RenpyTom brought me here.
Some pretty substantial jumps in the bass in the last section. A fun rag to play. Nice job!!
Gah just discovered this piece, I hadn't heard it before and I absolutely adore it!! Hidden gem for sure. {Listening on repeat}
All the rage are great honestly. I’m slowly introducing new kids to ragtime and they love it.
Is music old if you haven’t heard it before
I love it! :)
I love ragtime, can't wait to learn it but the curve is incredibly high ! What a wonderful interpretation you have played here !
Wonderful performance, best wishes, Don
This is wonderful!
Really nice playing!
Thanks for posting all of these! They are doing me a lot of good.
Very nice.
Bravo.
You make it look so easy. I think I could do this.
Very nice performance,like listening it! Your play is perfect for my son. He is guitar player and he taught himeself to play piano. He plays ragtime well!) for Joplin, J.Lamb, Johnson, Zez Confree, Max Kenleside and many other ,he plays by ear and a bit of notes. Ragtime is his favorite genre of music.,and he plays on the street piano!
Very well ;) I want to play Scott Joplin's songs, i have learned to play The Entertainer, i want to play an other, but what could be the easiest for start ? Maple Leaf Rag ?
romain rouger Try Weeping Willow Rag, or Solace, both are slower Joplin pieces, and they can help you to get the style down before learning Maple Leaf Rag
Weeping Willow Rag is a very good one! And it's almost impossible to play that rag too slowly!
I'd go with Easy Winners or Solace as a starting point. Although Maple Leaf is incredibly awesome, it is kind of weird some places. It is also ranked one of the hardest Joplin rags.
romain rouger
Oh What? 😁 Maple Leaf is the hardest Rag to play!
TheGoldenBullet Not the hardest, but complicated xD
Thanks!
i just love this
so glad u re uploaded this, cheers sir!
Very easy on the ears man! Thanks.
Wonderful!!! I liked it very much!!!
Very nice
Great Job as always!
Nicely done! Bravo!
Wow, amazing!
played to perfection !!!
Love it!!
Nailed it. Well done.
Love this! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Wonderful!
its easier to keep track if you use the black keys as a reference instead of the white keys...also you get use to the feeling.
this is wonderful, I love playing ragtime, right now I play the original Maple Leaf Rag! I will probably look at other music that Cory Hall plays.
Other than the Entertainer, this is by far my favorite rag. I've been trying, with some success, to learn it myself, but I doubt I'll ever have it as well as you do. Bravo!
Scott would be proud! You should play "Levee Revels" by William Christopher O'Hare, 1898, That would be amazing :D
Excellent musical performance !
This song sounds similar to the theme music from The Sting.
I've always wanted to hear you play Scott Joplin's Harmoney Club Waltz. Got the time?
I would love it even more if you do it on a honkie tonk
Bravo!! 👏
A perfect and very lovely performance.
You have no idea how much I love your music!
With me I read the sheet music and once I have it memorized I just play because I have memorized key positions and where my hands are relative to that so then I feel no need to have to watch myself.
wow, how brilliant!
sounds like swipsey cakewalk
Poop Farmer i like peacherine rag
thats not sunflower
Yes... this is “Sunflower Slow Drag”
why did you make a pause at 2:26?
To get up to the high register.
It’s pretty hard to get up there with no pause you will most likely miss the notes
@@hanlee6147 it actually isn't...even if you play it faster :)
"Slow"?
this song is confusing
I don't think going into the extra high octaves was how he wrote it originally, and it doesn't sound better. It's sounds worst.
Well, that sounds very opinional. He isn't required to play it JUST like the original sheet music, you know. Plus, it can tend to get monotonous after a while when you have to repeat the same section, so changing octaves makes it sound more interesting.
You're entitled to your own opinion, but this is Cory's channel, and he plays music the way he likes it.
deanc2000 I agree with you slightly. However, this piece does sound a little monotonous at times. Regardless of that, the piano piece should be played the way it’s written, in my opinion.
Christopher Hauser I was looking for a video of the actual piece to see how the actual thing sounded, Not an improvisation. And a lot of people don’t look for an improvisation. Even so, I think it was still interesting.
deanc2000, Question, is it perhaps your hearing loss in those upper octaves that MAKE it sound worse? There are audio rest videos. Look one up and see.
Myself, I cant hear the last 11 upper keys nor the lowest 9 (on an 88 key piano). Forget the Bosendorfer 97 key (9 extra lower) or the 102 key By Stuart & Son. (9 lower and 5 upper added). (Stuart also makes a 108 key, 6 MORE upper added)
Utube of the Bosendorfer if you're interested.
