Worst part about playing ragtime is being told to play The Entertainer, second worst is being told that "It sounds like we're in an old saloon!"
Kind of like being a guitar thumb picker and always being asked for Cannonball Rag.
Kristen, I am motivated by your videos. I studied piano as a kid, taking lessons for some 8 years or so. I was never a fan of contemporary music on the piano and pretty much stayed with classical, ragtime and a little blues. My favorites were Maple Leaf Rag and Peacherine Rag. Then life hit. I was broke and had to sell my little piano. Here I am, 40 years later and I just got myself an old 1950's vintage Estey spinet piano and am thrilled by tickling the keys again. It is amazing how 40 years can pass and muscle memory still peeks through a little. I found some sheet music and tuned my piano myself. (Your video of tuning one yourself hit home on that one!) I have not mastered anything yet, but Maple Leaf Rag, the Moonlight Sonata, and St. Louis Blues are on the top of my playlist to be for the moment. Thanks again for your content. I look forward to much more.
this is amazing! thanks for sharing your story.. i’m so happy you get to play again!! thanks for all your support 🥰
I love how you keep throwing stuff to the back (i assuming for your dog? idk lol) throughout the whole video! LOL it's hilarious! ahaha
i love the flawless ability to multitask ... playing with the dogs while making a video and answering questions...
Hi!
Greetings from Germany and Thanks a lot for your music!
Your music took me back to the days when I was a child.
How ?
I jumped into your channel just by happenstance.
And what I heard just took me back to the days when I was a child.
My father played the piano this kind of music when he came home from work.
But when I grew older he stopped playing the piano - don't know why.
Now I'm 68 and daddy died long time ago.
During all the years I didn't hear this type of music again.
But now I know - it's ragtime.
So you made my day and brought me back the sounds of my childhood.
Listening to you ... you play the piano in the same way daddy did...
.. and in my mind all the stories coming back daddy told us when he was a prisoner-of-war in the US in the 1940s and playing the piano in the clubs around the camp...
What else to say... goon doing so and bringing happyness to your listeners!
You are awesome!
Werner
Seriously?! The Entertainer is actually my favorite piece on the piano lol.
Seriously!
Kristen, I have really enjoyed watching and listening to you play. You are very talented, thank you for sharing your hard work with all of us.
I wanted to say that as a musician myself on instruments other than piano (I'm considering lessons), I can tell you put in a lot of hard work to get where you are and the beautiful sound tells that story. Thank you for blessing our ears with your amazing talent and I hope you continue. The only request I have is after hearing you trying to teach your brother 12 street rag, you have a couple spurts of speeding up the tempo. I think you can really bring that rag to life if you do another video of you playing it yourself. Looking forward to future videos. PS, not everyone on the internet is creepy.
Love how she’s throwing the dogs toy the whole time lol. I love the entertainer!
Kristen. You have what's called a Ganglion Cyst. Common and they normally go by themselves after a few months to a couple of years. If it gets painful, see a doc. I recently have one myself. I thought it was due to fretting the guitar but nope! Nice playing.
Hi Kristen, i'm from Mexico, i also dislike the Entertainer, i learnt it as a teenager and i played it is so much until i dislike, i only used to play the three first parts and then, when i grew up, about a year ago i liked the last part. Actually i play, Maple rag, Swipesy, Sun Flower, Peacherine, Entertainer, Easy Winners and Alabama (which is the less i like) and when i listened to you playing Pineapple Rag, i liked it so much, so i decided to put this piece as well. I don't like much the rest of Joplin's sheets, so i think i only would play these eight songs of ragtime. This channel is for my school and studies, but maybe i will sing up for a new channel when i could record that music, thank u for your Q&A video
I love your piano skills so much! I hope your hand feels better. Don't ever give up on piano.
When playing ragtime, being left-handed is probably an advantage? The part played by the left hand is often very much more complicated.
How often do you practice daily/weekly?
ofc, she practices 40 hours a day, how else would she be able to play like this
At least she's honest about "The Entertainer." 😅
How could anybody hate "The Entertainer"?! Especially someone who loves ragtime??
Because it’s so overdone. You’ll hate anything if I do it enough in front of you.
Rather like Frank Sinatra famously got sick of constantly being asked to sing My Way...
Horatio Nelson The Entertainer can never be overdone. It's the single piece I can play from start to end, it has never bored me in the 30 years that I play piano.
@@Hero3128 I hate it too :(
Just a small suggestion, you can record your playing into midi form on your computer and it'll generate the sheet for ya. You can touch it up afterwards too.
What do you use to notate your music. Musescore, Sibelius? Or do you have some fancy software that you can put MIDI files into and it pumps you out a reasonable score which you only have to fix up? If the earlier two, why do you even try notation? When it takes you hours on a good day to get even a quarter of a rag perfectly notated?
You inspired me to learn rags, even though it's not really my cup of tea. Watching you play them was mesmerizing. I hope your hand heals up so we can hear some more. Puts some DMSO on it to reduce inflammation.
What is your new job? And when do think the sheet music will be available? And on what website can we find it?
+Sogo33 Everything regarding the sheets is TBD currently. I'll announce all the details when I learn them!
Kristen Mosca thx
First off, you are an amazing pianist! :D What are your favorite song to play? As well as favorite song in general?
Really nice to see you back again. Sorry to see your hand like that. Definitely get to a Dr with that if you haven't already. If you've knocked it at all then probably nothing too bad but if you haven't knocked it then might be something like a Ganglion Cyst so best to get it checked out.
Anyway looking forward to your next piece.
I'm 16 and I've been playing piano now for 8 years now. In that time I've been able to learn many pieces from many genres. However, ragtime has proven elusive for me. I've only been able to learn the maple leaf rag 2 years ago, despite trying others such as the Pine Apple Rag. What suggestions do you have for learning other ragtime pieces?
Peacherine rag is a real good one in my opinion. Not too hard either. The Entertainer isn't technically that difficult but I don't like playing it
What's your new job?
I played a lot of ragtime back in the 1980s and I share your negative opinion about The Entertainer. I can play it but I am hardly a big fan of it. You look like you are having fun while playing, always important. You ever watch Chico Marx play the piano in those old Marx Brothers movies?My style of play was more like Joshua Rifkin, a somewhat slower pace. But it is always tempting to play the rags more quickly. I hope you can try out Gladiolus Rag, my favorite. Part of it, along with parts of others, were played in The Sting, my introduction and inspiration to Ragtime back in 1973.
I won’t ask you to marry me, because I asked the love of my life nearly 50 years ago. But I would be pleased beyond measure to be your honorary grandfather.
You are extremely talented, and I am in awe. Stride piano scares me to death (and I've played lots of genres). Would you consider playing the entertain-ING (gotcha!) Fats Waller song, "Handful of Keys"? (even playing a simplified version arranged for SATB chorus scared me to death, so I would be incredibly impressed)
only recently subscribed and loving the video,as for the comments it seems ragtime is a live and well with the younger generation and you being a good ambassador,your Disney covers a real joy of happiness,looking forward to the next video,Andy D
Do you like classical piano?
Which composer is your favorite?
I honestly think you should go on America's got talent or one of those shows, I could totally imagine the judges being blown away!
I had that same bump on both hands as a teenager and it hurt, eventually they disappeared as I got into my twenties and luckily I had no pain from then on.
can you play other songs from other time periods besides rag, cuz you play rag all the time
Just subscribed today and am captivated by your playing. That painful bump on your wrist is most likely a ganglion cyst. In addition to being painful it may eventually restrict movement. Sometimes they subside on their own (within 3 years) and if not, then surgery.
Such a great talent Kristen, please keep the music coming 😊
Kristen - I left this on FB, but I was wondering if you have ever met or played with Tom Brier, Frank LiVolsi, or Adam Swanson. You all seem to be kindred spirits, and I could just imagine the fun you could have playing together, I'd love to hear you all in the same room collaborating, or trying some four-handed piano!
You are fabulous. I also play piano a little but you are much better than me. ❤️
You like ragtime, but you hate "The Entertainer"??? Why do you hate it? What about "Easy Winner"?
I can't believe how expensive the Disneyland passports are nowadays. You still go to DLand often, and do you have a passport?
Hi Kristen , I am a big fan . I have a question for you . I have watched your video where you played Swipesy Cake Walk at Disneyland . I love that song . Would it be possible to make another video playing that song on your piano ? Thanks .
Congrats on getting a new job! It's really tough out there, I am still struggling getting a job :(
At this point, how often do you practice?
If someone put a brand new rag in front of you that you've never played before, can you sight read it? Or do you learn things by rote?
entertainer entertains everyone.....its very good piece actually
I suppose that The Entertainer is to people who play ragtime as Canon in D is to people who play in orchestras.
YAAAAY!! CONGRATULATIONS ON 9K SUBSCRIBERS!😁👏👏
Thank you! :)
I love that you say you are left handed. I am also left handed. I guess we have that in common. That must be why you are so amazing. Awesome playing love listening.
What ragtime players do you admire? What pieces do you aspire to play some day but are currently a challenge?
Great Q&A. 👍 How many songs if any have you written or composed?
you're not lazy if you can play like that. do you have any more singing videos besides Over the Rainbow? you should!
Congratulations to 10'000 subscribers!
Hey Kristen, I'd love to see some lessons on just the bare bones of rag. Always wanted to play the sound but never knew where to start. Thx
I have the same lump that you do from playing the piano it's called a ganglion cyst I love your work
Great chops (facility), and memorizing it all Chord for chord, wow! Any other favorite types of music? Mine is Broadway, Hollywood 1940's.
I'm glad that your hand is healed and thank you so much for sharing your talent with the world Kristen. You are awesome!! (^.^)
hey there from France !
its weird cause you learned the same pieces of piano than me (maple leaf rag, then peacherine, pineapple etc...) and i did myself a ragtime version of aladdin, jungle book, Pocahontas, beauty and the beast as well, and they are very very similar ! XD
i even played for Disney in paris once too
So : are you my soul twin or that kind of stuff ???
The bump on your wrist is probably a Ganglion Cyst, they're bothersome, but nothing to worry about. There are a few ways to get rid of them, but it may go away on its own (I had small one, also on my wrist, and it went away on its own after a few years). I found that most of the pain came from it getting irritated and swollen, taking something for the swelling made it almost unnoticeable.

Have you tried to get yourself "gigs" or playdates, even just locally. You are a marvelous player and very entertaining and would be a delight to see in person.
You said you started playing when you were "9"... Was that when you were 9 days, 9 weeks or 9 months old?
Nine hours.
@@michaelsommers2356 9 Seconds?
How can anyone hate the entertainer....LOL. Even though it is the most over played ragtime song! It’s still a great song and I’m sure your spin on it would be fantastic!!!
True! It´s Magic
Have enjoyed your channel content ! :) .. Some more rag music options .. Root Beer Rag .. Black and White Rag .. Hope you hand all better. Cheers ..
Awesome work. Sticking with your Disney themes, would you ever consider doing another Randy Newman tune, the theme from Monster's Inc?
Woah! Subbed because of your insane maple leaf rag. To be honest, I didn't expect another video to be released. But cheers!
I love ragtime and am learning to play various Joplin songs, but my issue is that my hands are way too small to hit all the octaves! Any advice? :)
:(
at first what is she throwing, 2 mins later Ohhhhhhh it's the crazy hair dogs toy!
Hey Kristen, would you consider playing Super Mario - Athletic Rag? Super fun sounding!
I played the Whistler on the Xylophone you should look into it
Nice. Can you play The New Russian Rag by George L Cobb, 1923 (Prelude by Rachmaninoff) or Russian Rag by George L. Cobb (1918, Ragtime piano)
Please :-)
Hate the Entertainer? Try playing it in Tom Jones "Kiss" style :)
For the hand bump, my wife took Turmeric -Curcuma longa with Piperine pills for 2 weeks and the bump was reduced until vanished. It happens again from time to time due to her household and crafts efforts (she has thin and delicate hands). It is something to do with the blood vessels, they twist or release fluids or something. Worth a try if you still have that bump and for no reason (no bruise, just show up). Cheers!
hey! just wanted to let you know you've inspired me to learn maple leaf and I can nearly play it :) Thanks
I love how you're playing fetch with Zorra while filming this video... Impressive!
....and I was wondering why she was throwing stuff away over and over again xD
Do you also play stride piano?
WE NEED A NEW Q&A!
(pleeeeease)
Would you please cover "Remembering You" by Roger Kellaway?
Patrick Mannion amazing song
10 K SUBS!! CONGRATULATIONS XXXOXO
Special request, can you do a "normal" video of 12th Street Rag, ie - no piano lessons involved? I really like that one. Ps, I meant NO OFFENSE towards Matt, it had to be very intimidating. He handled it quite well.
I bet you could do a good version of russ conways side saddle
Have you ever thought of Live streaming? Like on twitch TV?
The Venetian should bring in a piano for their most celebrated staff to play for a few minutes each hour or so of her shift to further bring in and please thirsty patrons..
You should play the Entertainer.
The Billy Joel song, not the Scott Joplin one.
I think she should play the Entertainer, too... the Scott Joplin song, not the Billy Joel one. :o)
People asking you to play the Entertainer is the same as people asking to play Piano man from Billy Joel or worst yet 'Acky Breaky Heart' by Billy ray Cyrus. That's good you don't give into audience pressure cause once you do your a slave( like me) to what they want to hear and not what you enjoy.
Q&A 3 or 4 on this platform?
Zora!? That was the name of my dog as well! She lived to be 15 and was a terrific dog!
Thank you for your Q&A videos.
Could you "turn down" the background music next time, so your voice is easier to hear?
Ha! I enjoyed the video in fact I decided to what Q&A1 before this one.....just because....it seemed like the right thing to do. Anyway, while I did enjoy everything you said I thought it was funny that you kept on throwing something over your shoulder! :) It took me until I saw your dog "play" the piano before I figured out what you were doing. At first it just seemed like some random item(s) that you just randomly threw.... :)
what is your new job?
1:25 FELLOW LEFTY!!!
Why do you hate The Entertainer?!
I took lessons and maybe i can play popeye the sailor man,,,with a book. Either you have it or you dont i guess,,,you are incredible👍
Yes, magic!
and 52.5 subscribers!
the entertainer please!!!!! jeje
So good.
Do you have any free music sheets?
yes
Q: Are you married? (Out of interest, not out of prospect!)
Yeah find an orthopedic surgeon and get that cyst looked at. The "hit it with a book" method can do some pretty good damage to the wrist joint due to the internal pressure of the cyst bursting. They can either aspirate it (poke it and try to drain the synovial fluid out of it) or they can knock you out and remove it. Its not a very long surgery, but it can be a little tricky because of all the nerves in the hand depending on where's its located. I've lived with one for about 10 years and I'm actually having it removed next week.
Why do you hate The Entertainer?
You certainly seem to have a ganglion cyst on your wrist and it is very common. I am a sports medicine physician and I see this quite often. An orthopedic surgeon is who you want to see or be referred to by you primary care physician. It's usually taken care of pretty easily and you'll be right back in the groove. On a different "note", I have an acquaintance that plays the incredible pipe organ in Los Angeles for the Disney movies and I am going to forward your channel to him. You have an incredible talent and work ethic despite claiming you're lazy. You are probably more efficient and don't like to waste time and effort. You also seem to be allergic to BS. LOL. Well, keep at it young lady.
One question: Do you indulge in jazz, boogie woogie or rock and roll? You seem to have the ear for the required syncopation! God Bless and Take Care!
Love your green room
I love Joplin, but I agree about the Entertainer.
I agree, I personally prefer peacherine rag over the entertainer
Just curious, is the piano in the background of this video you playing or a seperate recording? Hope you're hand gets better soon, and congrats on the new job!! :D
It's a recording. Pretty sure it's a copyright free piece of music as have heard it many places before. I'm sure Kristen can confirm though. Wish I could remember where I've heard it before now though. For some reason reminds me of Charlie Brown.
+William Clarke It's just free background music from iMovie. Lol
Thanks Kristen. Was wracking my brain trying to think where I'd heard it before! 😀
