- Pineapple Rag 🍍 by Scott Joplin is a super fun, catchy, & lively song. I personally think this piece sounds best when played at a “moderate” pace, as I’ve played, to truly hear its elegant melodies. I think this rag is up there as one of Joplin’s most famous pieces. This is actually my favorite rag to play; I’m sure you can see how much I love this piece from my movements and facial expressions. Right hand slipped up for a bit right at the 3 minute mark, but hope you enjoy my playing anyway 😊

That is so good! Amazing performance 😀👍🎶
Thanks so much! 🥰 This is one of my favorite rags 🎶😁
Nice play! Pineapple and Paragon Rag are both my favorite😄
Thanks 😊 Pineapple and Paragon Rag are some of my favs too! :) they’re wonderful rags
A great Rag. Superb performance, as always it was a pleasure to listen to and watch your playing!🎹🔥🙏🏽🎼💓🎵👍
Thanks so much, dear friend Thomas!! 🥰😚 I’m really glad you liked this rag 💖
Thank you Nathalie. A little basket of bliss in my day!

Superb performance! Loved it.
Thank you! 🥰
Always pleased with your music..
Thank you! 🙏🏻
Very cool rag Natalie! I love your playing!👍😎✌🏼
Thank you so much, my friend Jeff! ☺️😎
All my favorite songs. Great playing!
Pineapple is definitely my favorite Joplin song, thanks for watching 😊
Well done! This is a great tempo for this song. I find the challenge in this piece to be the right hand. The arpeggios you added in the last section were impressive and a nice touch. Keep up the great work!
Thank you much 🙏🏻 I’m glad you liked my tempo. I think Pineapple sounds better, and so lovely, when played moderately and not quickly to hear its beautiful melodies. Glad you noticed the little arpeggios for a nice touch at the end!
Excellent job, Natalie!!! The only thing you forgot to do was turn around and smile 😊
Aw I didn’t think anyone would notice or remember that smiling was kind of my signature move at the end! I’ll be sure to do it next time 😊
You made my day with this new piece . What a great job .
So glad to hear that, John! Thanks 🙏🏻
I enjoy your playing so much. You play most of Joplin's pieces and I really like them. There's two of them I think you would enjoy playing. "Solace" and "Bethena".
Oh, thank you so much! I’m not the best at playing Ragtime, but I try my best 😊 “Solace” really seems to be a fan favorite; it’s a lovely piece. “Bethena” also is a nice one. I’m sure one day I’ll make my way to them!
Hello dear Natalie, my talented friend! The piece is beautiful! You play it very well! It's evident that you love playing this beautiful piece, and your facial expressions of enjoyment are noticeable while you play! Thank you for sharing! Big like 20 ! Bye Roberto ❤❤
Thank you, my very dear friend! 🥰 I’m glad it can be shown how much I love playing this piece, ha. Thanks for watching and supporting ❤️ bye for now!
@@Natt_piano It's a real pleasure to listen to your piano performances! These pieces are very challenging and you interpret them very well!❤❤
@@pianoverso aw, thanks!! ❤️ I try my best.
@@Natt_piano ❤❤💯
🎵Thank you!
Thanks for watching! :)
It is great, Natalie, that the subtleties and small variations of this piece can be followed and enjoyed the way how you play it. Despite some small allowances, or may I rather say emphasised by them, you did solid work again - much appreciated.
Thanks, Joe 🙏🏻 I’m glad the small little touches I added were enjoyable to you. Much appreciation to you for watching!!
Good job! Nicely played 👏
Thank you! 😄
What a great surprise to be able to listen to another ragtime played by Natalie. Beautiful ! Played again with great feeling of pace and speed.
Best wishes from the German chess players again. You are great, Natalie !
We were just missing your lovely smile at the end......
I’m glad I surprised you with a new upload! Thanks for the compliments 😊 I hope your chess club friends will enjoy this one.
Ah, you are right that I did not smile at the end this time 😆 I’ll be sure to do that next time.
Best wishes from the US!
Wow, you are an amazing piano player.
Kind of you to say 😊
I’m happy to say that I can play this song after a month of working on it. And I only have 10 months of experience. Now, it’s not as good as this, but I’d say it’s still pretty good. By august I’m sure it’ll be perfect though.
Also love the flair you added to the piece. It doesn’t make the piece unrecognizable, and still allows you to have that artistic freedom.
Pineapple Rag is a great piece and one of my favorites. I’m glad you stuck to it and can play it after your dedication ☺️ and that’s really impressive that you can play a hard rag with only 10 months of experience!
Oh you’re so kind with your comment, I’m not that good at Ragtime but I surely try 🙂
And thank you! I like adding little touches when possible to make it stand out during some of those repeats, while keeping the charm and respect for the original score 🎶
Love it. Subscribed

Amazing!

Very nice ! If you don't mind to awnser i have a few questions ! For how long have you been playing, and at what age did you start playing as a selft taught ? I'm on the path of learning piano myself at 29, and my main goal is to play ragtime. Do you have some recommendations for me to one day be at least as good as you are ? books about music theory that you felt like helped you, books about playing ragtime, etc ... i'll take it all !
TIA.
Hi there, thanks for watching! Happy to answer your questions :) that’s really awesome you’re trying to learn ragtime, it’s such a fun genre to play. So I’m almost 27, but I started to teach myself in 2013. I started off learning classical music but it didn’t click with me. Once I heard ragtime and tried it back then, it “made sense” to me. I grew up on Nintendo games so some music patterns and sounds are quite similar to ragtime music, so that helped me pick ragtime up as a late teen.
I honestly did not learn with music theory books! I only learned how to read notes and basic chords from a music teacher, that’s it, but ragtime itself I learned by myself. I watched a lot of TH-cam yearsss ago to learn about ragtime and listening to ragtime pianists such as Bachscholar. A lot of the ragtime patterns get more familiar and “predictable” the more you play - you’ll know what I mean when you play more :) but I HIGHLY recommend you know how to read notes and get familiar with basic chords and key signatures. Also, look up “Scott Joplin’s School of Ragtime” to learn the basic ragtime sounds and patterns. It’s a good entry into the ragtime genre and movements. Then, you can be ready to start tackling some rags.
The first ragtime song I learned to be honest was maple leaf rag, 10 years ago. I do not recommend that song to start with, my playing back then was all over the place lol. It took me a few years to get comfortable with ragtime, during Covid was when I got “much better” with my skills and performances (I still have to improve). So I would recommend you to play Peacherine Rag or The Favorite by Scott Joplin as good “starter” pieces. Those songs have their difficult parts but overall I personally say they’re good entry songs into this genre.
Hope this helped!! Happy to chat more about music if you have more questions. Thanks for the compliment, but I’m not that good LOL, I play for fun and I know I’m not perfect with my playing.
@@Natt_piano Thanks a lot for taking the time to awnser !
i'm only 2 months in learning piano, currently still learning how to read notes and chord from a beginner's method book that already helped me a lot as i can read and play very basic exercices, but obviously i still need a lot of work on this to be able to know all chords and scales in all keys, be able to read the notes easier and faster, etc ...
Before starting piano i have been listening ragtime for quite a long time, watching many videos, one of the first ragtime video i landed on was one from Tom Brier, it imediatly "clicked in" to me. Maybe deep inside for the same reason as you, beign from the 90's and playing lots of nintendo games !
At first i was willing to follow the book i bought to build a solid base, but i started drifting a bit from the exercices as i don't enjoy the songs themselves (classical, french popular songs made easy for beginners as it is a french book, and so on), and 2 weeks ago i decided that i'll be still following the book, but also aside of it, have my fun and start to learn Pineapple Rag, as it is one of my favorites rag song :)
Maybe not the easiest to learn on, but i enjoy the process a lot. Currently i can play the 2 first pages on the right hand at a decent tempo, and i'm bringing the left hand alongside it, little by little, bars after bars, at a slow tempo. Beign right handed i feel like it's easier for me to grind the right hand to a point that i can play it without thinking, and then add the left hand wich i have to focus on.
I take note from your advice to look on "School of ragtime", and also will keep in mind your recommendations on Peacherine and Favorite rag as future "not too hard" rag songs to play, hopefully after i'll be able to play Pineapple rag, or maybe as a side goal if i ever come to a point where i feel like it's to hard for me to stay on it at a particular time because of a lack of technique.
Got this video in my recommendations today and watched almost all of your previous one, definitely subing to your channel looking forward to your next videos !
@@paulaner4514 oh so you’re quite new behind the keys! It’s never too late to learn. That’s the right thing to do, learning how to read notes and getting familiar with some chords. A beginner book is a great idea imo. Don’t worry too much about learning so many chords as there’s so many variations of them. What I like to do while learning a new piece is to look up the name of the chord to get familiar with it. I admittedly don’t know scales at all, but reading notes comes smoothly the more you play! Reading notes while playing is a fantastic skill I don’t have… I should learn music theory, I’m glad you’re doing that while in the beginner stages of learning piano!
Yeah Tom Brier is a ragtime king! He’s so amazing and gifted to sight read and play at the same time. Yeah, those Super Mario and old SNES tunes are so catchy and helped develop my subconscious love for ragtime due to the similar sounds haha
I totally know what you mean that you “drifted from the exercises”, the beginner exercises are there just to help you learn the basics, fingering, and whatnot, but often times you won’t enjoy those classical or foreign popular songs made for beginners lol. Learn what you can from the book to get used to hand movements, musical theory, note progressions, and so on, but while also learning songs you enjoy!
Pineapple rag is a great song, it’s my fav ragtime song too :) It’s actually not a super difficult rag at all, sections A & B aren’t bad. The trio and the D section I personally think are a little more challenging for newbies. Enjoy the process indeed! Amazing you can play the first half of the song with your right hand, the problem can be synchronizing the right hand with the left hand jumps 🙃 you got the right idea with learning how to play a rag; I learn a new piece 2-4 measures at a time with my right hand, then learning the left hand for those measures, and then slowlyyyy put them together until I get the left and right hand to sound good, and slowly increase the playing tempo, then I’ll move on to the next set of measures. I’m the same where my right hand can move “freely” basically and my left hand I need to concentrate on.
Good luck learning Peacherine and The Favorite if you choose to learn them after Pineapple Rag! If not immediately after pineapple, definitely keep those in mind for future considerations after getting some more technique down.
Aw thanks for subscribing & watching some other simple videos of mine 🙏🏻 I look forward to hearing your progress with Pineapple Rag!
Waaaaaaa beautiful Naty💖, really amazing👌,,

Excellent job, dear Natalie I’ve Subscribed!
Thank you for watching & subscribing! 🙏🏻 stay tuned for more!
I am fascinated by the talent of Cory Hall, or
Dario Ronchi in the interpretation of Scott Joplin's songs. I have to add this talented young woman: Natalie Anz. Success!!!
Ahh very kind of you to say that about me! I feel very honored. I love Cory Hall’s videos as he peaked my interest in playing ragtime and got inspired by his playing a lot. I’m no where as skilled as those professionals, but I’d like to think I’m pretty decent at Joplin music. Nice meeting you, Gheorge 😊
@@Natt_piano The pleasure is mine. You have two very strong assets in the future: talent and a young age. Warm greetings from Romania.
