I couldn’t resist trying to learn to play it early on and am now close to finishing the piece. I can’t seem to place what it is, I’m sure it’s a combination of many things, but something about this version is so crisp and perfect I wish I could play it as well. Really it’s showing me the importance of having good technique and good rythme. And perhaps I should have slowly worked my way up to playing this when I was ready

      I can answer the first question. Complete. Utter. Determination. Scott Joplin made it clear to himself one day he would dedicate most of his life to the piano. I bet he practiced about 8 hours a day. That’s really with any instrument. You just need to absolute drive to perfect your technique. And by chasing perfection, you will attain excellence.

    @carlorachel 4 ปีที่แล้ว +258

    As a composer, myself, I studied every genre across every "Age" of music through its evolution. Something about the accessibility of ragtime and its inherent inclusiveness captured my greater attention. While this particular version of MLR is a bit "mechanical," one can still readily hear the life that is within this work. When I teach music appreciation, I usually begin with ragtime as a general base. While this may sound completely nuts, it isn't. People respond to what they recognize and everyone seems to recognize ragtime, regardless of age. Once they are trained to focus on what makes ragtime a "live" music, I can more easily focus their attention on similar details found in all other genres. Scott Joplin was opening a huge door when he wrote his works. I cherish him for enabling a greater light to enter in, ensuring that music would continue to grow.

    • @carlorachel
      @carlorachel 4 ปีที่แล้ว +24

      ​@@evoplanet627 Hey YT, it's great to hear you've got the music in you. When you say "I've always wanted to make my own song," I'm guessing you don't mean a rag in ragtime but rather a popular song with music and lyric. Writing pop songs is not hard, but to write a memorable, engaging one is always a challenge. The best-and only-place to start is in your heart. What does your heart, not your mind, have to "say?" Think of one single line that describes everything you are feeling. That's going to be your song's "hook." The verses are the words-usually rhyming, always rhythmic-that connect your hook. Here's a lame example: Hook: "I love ya too much, I can't count the reasons, but let's try!" Then, you have a verse that begins listing the reasons you love that someone. These verses are based on 8-"measure" or what they call 8-bar phrases. That equates to four lines of verse. So, think of a "hook" line that repeats after every verse, and then think of four-line "minipoems" between each repeat of the hook. Read these out loud and "listen for their melody." I swear to you that a melody will emerge out of your heartfelt words. If your words are just words and not feelings, your melody will be poor. But if your message is truly from the heart, the melody that shows up will soar. Godspeed, brother.

      @@Ainoran123, Hey C, the process of songwriting that puts the melody first tends to produce a bit more formulaic songs. Because inherent in the melody is an already dictated rhythm, you find yourself to many times "forcing" rhymes and using words only because they "fit" the rhythmic pattern and not because they carry the exact message and emotion of your song's intent. Try it. You'll quickly see what I am saying. Let us agree on this: In the end, songs can be written in any way that produces a song! The goal is to release the spirit and let it rise on its own rhythm and soar on its own melody

While this obviously a major feat , and, I’m sure, an abomination to master, this is still probably the funnest, most carefree sound that I’ve ever heard from one instrument.
