an attempt at ragtime piano

Hi there! Here's a little ragtime piece that i'm using as the introduction to a mini scoring of a laurel and hardy film for my final exam.
I was inspired by Joplin's music a few weeks ago and had to give it a go myself.
Hope you enjoy this little study.

This is actually more of a cakewalk than anything! There's no syncopation over the barline... (like with Joplin's Rags). There are a few great videos about this on the internet but I'm too lazy to paste the links here right now.

[@oscarllywelyn]

Oh yeah, thanks for pointing that out! Maybe I can try and just offset the melody by a best to make it syncopated, but idk if it will work?

[@pjotrkolster]

@@oscarllywelynMy pleasure" Yeah it would work in some spots! I think the melody might need a bit more driving force other than the syncopation in certain spots, though... But try the syncopation first.

​@@pjotrkolster thanks, I'll do some more research into ragtime, it's such a cool genre I think!

[@pjotrkolster]

@@oscarllywelynAgreed! Also it appears youtube has killed my comments twice, now.

[@oscarllywelyn]

@@pjotrkolster oh no, did it remove something you wrote?
