This remindes me of my grandmother who would be nearly 100 of she were still alive. I inherited her Sheet music of this song... And during this covid shut down and home school time, my sons video for sight words was playing this song! Oh so many memories. 😁 love you Grandma❤😘❤😘
THANK YOU for posting this. I searched for a video of someone playing Nola. This song always reminds me of my grandmother also. She would sit for hours playing this song on the piano in our home. She was born in 1900. My grandmother died in her 88th year. THANK YOU!!!
My father loved this song! He named me Nola 66 years ago and would play this from a record he had. Boy does this bring back memories! You play beautifully just like I remember.
SAME! My mother just turned 87. She has severe dementia and is in a nursing home now, but I fondly remember her struggling to get good at this piece around the time I was in my teens. I must say, she was about 70% this good! Not bad mom!
it was rumored that my first piano teacher Lucy Valpy in Carmel Valley played that tune on Broadway back in the early 1900's. not sure if it's true but the song is familiar to me. Wonderful job playing it.... so many "Scott Joplin" components to that song.... thank you so much for the video .... nostalgic for me. (I am currently working jazz pianist/keyboardist in the San Francisco Bay Are. the tune just popped into my head - and I remembered it was called "Nola".
Bravo! I love this song and you perform it so authentically. Makes me feel like I'm living in 1915--wish we had more of the music of that era available to us.
You do, on TH-cam - it's wonderful! Some recordings from that era - either actual discs, or piano-rolls (sometimes recorded by the original composers). There's one of the composer of this piece, Felix Arndt, playing it himself (though the player is set 84/78 too fast, but that can be fixed): th-cam.com/video/vg18fo-EIj0/w-d-xo.html
@@G6JPG Thanks for your response, Cory--Ive found and listened to that video and others. I've also watched many of your videos and consistently appreciate your musicality and refined taste, in addition to your superb technical skill. And you seem so relaxed! I appreciate your contribution to TH-cam. Jeff
@@jeffreymiller1630 I think you must be confusing me with someone else - my name is John not Cory, and I've so far not uploaded anything to youTube, though I've often posted comments [I'd never "like" a clip where comments are turned off], which I hope are helpful to others (often including links to other clips). I'm afraid I don't have any technical skill at the keyboard (or harmonica) - I think I have a musical ear and can appreciate what chords should be and that sort of thing, but only scraped grade 3 piano nearly 50 years ago (-:
@@G6JPG Sorry about that, John. I thought I'd heard from the guy who posted the piano video on TH-cam, whose name is Cory. I'm new to posting on TH-cam and obviously need to be more precise. In any event, good to hear from you. Take care.
Nice performance of an early 20th century pop standard. Before radios and television and iTunes, people bought sheet music, took it home snd learned it on the piano in the parlor. Watch Meredith Wilson's "The Music Man" for a glimpse of this era. This piece is not too hard to play because it uses repetitive hand positions and patterns.
Beautiful! You play beautifully Mr. Hall. Bought the sheet music for this piece from a thrift store and gave to a friend with instructions to learn to play it so I could enjoy it. HA! He did learn it, but never played it as well as you do. Bravo!
I love this song. It was my favourite song as a little girl, about 3 or 4 years old. It reminds me of my grandma - I was the first grandchild and she loved it when I danced to Nola.
My aunt had a player piano. When we visited, "Nola" was our favorite. Then my mother would sit down and play it from memory and dare us to say the piano roll was better. She was better.
Thanks !!! .. I wish I could play as note-perfect as that ! You could prove on phrasing quite a bit? ... But still - Much better than I can do myself - - Again- THANKS !
Never get tired of listening to this. Just wish I didnt have double jointed fingers - its a curse. Listen to Richard Dowlling playing this a rag time piece.- havent heard anyone who plays Nola in Ragtime.
Awesome job on this. I played this years ago but never mastered it. Truly an inspiration. Your other videos are great, I love the camera view and your direct style.
Hmmmmm ... I wonder how hard this is ... This is one sweet piece, nicely done as well. There's a few other videos of this, at least one is a Victrola playing a disc cut by Arndt himself. There the composer himself plays it about double this tempo, and to me that's way too fast. Slowing it down just sounds much more musical ... and also give me a fighting chance to maybe learn it as well.
See also th-cam.com/video/7Xow-TM3JxU/w-d-xo.html played by the late lamented Judith Durham of The Seekers. Bear with the first 30 seconds in which she pretends that she's going to be playing something very "heavy" like Grieg's Concerto in A Minor, then she gives a cute little grin at the camera and launches into Nola.
Hi Cory, I was wondering if you would ever consider doing Jarrod Radnich's arrangement of the Pirates of the Carribean theme? It's a really cool piece and would love to see you play it!
My mom played this for us all the time! She passed away at 85 in 2008. She really made us happy whenever she let it rip!
My mom played this too! Great memories when I listen to this!

Thanks. I could play it this well when I was younger. Lol. My name is Nola, my aunt named me for this tune!
Hey!!! I’m a Nola too!
I'm a Nola too! My grandfather named my mother Nola, and she named me that too. I've only met one other in my lifetime.
@@twofeathers5145 I haven’t met any yet and I am 67 already! We do have a Facebook page just for Nola’s though so I know they’re out there
Aacchhh I just LOVE this. Wish I could play it like that. Tears are falling
Brilliant performance of Felix Arndt's immortal piece from 1915
PERFECT, beautifully executed. Thankyou.
My father loved this song! He named me Nola 66 years ago and would play this from a record he had. Boy does this bring back memories! You play beautifully just like I remember.
enzo darren has a song Nola
this is not the same melody as Darren's Nola but I would like Arndt's Nola
My mother used to play this. She will be 99 this fall and no longer plays piano, but what a lovely memory! Beautifully played here-

You did that beautiful piece justice! I listen to my dad play that for many years, you would have raised his eyebrows.
I'm bopping to this tune....It's awesome!!! TFS
Lovely and so well played! My father used to play this piece when it was time for my sister and I to go up to bed! Thank you!
Thanks a ton! This was step back stunning!!! ❤️
Absolutely wonderful ❤.
Brilliant! I am just starting this piece and hope one day I can play it as well as you, wish me luck!

great and not too fast. thank you. Gaius
Great memories from my childhood. One of my fathers favorites to play.
I love this song. My beloved grandmother used to play it for me on her piano when I was a child. My aunt still has the original sheet music.
Espetacular, maravilha maestro!
My Dad used to play this piece all the time on his piano
I like your calm playing. It sounds nice with this. I like every single video of yours that I watch.
Beautiful musical performance !
Beautifully played. Thank you

1915? Very, very typical of light pieces composed around WW1. Thank you for this, haven't heard it for so long.
A favorite of my mom's. She played it often.
Great performance at the right tempo! Thank you!
Beautiful !!!!!
GREAT JOB !!!
🎹 Amazing!!!
I love this song. It was my favourite song as a little girl, about 3 or 4 years old. It reminds me of my grandma - I was the first grandchild and she loved it when I danced to Nola.
Nice. Played smoothly, not staccato. So perfect.
My dear Father used to do the softshoe to this in the mornings while in his pajamas
Fabulous! Brings back great memories!!
Cory, there is no words to describe your talent !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lovely!
My mom use to play this !!
Cool!
Perfect !!
Bravo, Mestre!

Just trying to learn to play this tune and your playing is an inspiration! Thanks for posting. I listen to it often to make sure that I am getting it.
Thank you , sir!
Complimenti !!! 👏🏻👏🏻😊

Good job!
Damn!! I used to be able to play that song
Great memories
Прекрасное исполнение и спасибо за видео!!!!Юрий
My mother used to play Nola. We also had a young Nola in our family. Our Nola died as a child.🥲🥹
My grandmother would play this, took me years to find out what it was. I remember her hands lifting 'stride' style..
Never get tired of listening to this. Just wish I didnt have double jointed fingers - its a curse. Listen to Richard Dowlling playing this a rag time piece.- havent heard anyone who plays Nola in Ragtime.
Perfect slapstick background music or hardware store shopping.
MY LATE DAD PLAYED THIS ON MANDOLIN!
King Crimson surprisingly brought me here
Excellent. George Wright would be smiling proudly about now.
Awesome job on this. I played this years ago but never mastered it. Truly an inspiration. Your other videos are great, I love the camera view and your direct style.
Played Nola 70 years ago. Also Polly.
Polly? Same era?
Felix Arndt died at a very young age, in the flu outbreak of 1918.
Hmmmmm ... I wonder how hard this is ...
This is one sweet piece, nicely done as well. There's a few other videos of this, at least one is a Victrola playing a disc cut by Arndt himself. There the composer himself plays it about double this tempo, and to me that's way too fast. Slowing it down just sounds much more musical ... and also give me a fighting chance to maybe learn it as well.
my grandma was named after this song and she actually met nola
Perfect ... Now why can't I play it like that. (I did try)
So did my father for about 70 years! He would have loved this piece.
The recording sound odd, sort as if the mic is too close to yhe strings ??
Do you have enough up to original tempo version?
My parents use to do a comedy routine to this back in the 1960's.

I gave up on this a few months back. Must try again - this time a bit harder.
My name has been NOLA since 1961.
1958 here! Ha, I've got you beat.
❤
Have you got any more compositions in the works? :)
Hi Cory, I was wondering if you would ever consider doing Jarrod Radnich's arrangement of the Pirates of the Carribean theme? It's a really cool piece and would love to see you play it!
i'm doing this as my GCSE piece... wish me luck 0_o
How hard is it to learn this piece?
🎂Felix Arndt 05-20-2022
Clementi: Sonatina in C major, op. 36 no. 3 Why did you block comments??
Estupendo!!! Tatuisp
Spot bollock on. Nice.
I love it, but I can't play that: to Advanced for my level. That's remind me Charly Chaplin.
Charly Chaplin played piano? :)
I am going to vomit if I see the name of Chaplin attached to any early 20th century ragtime again! YUCK!
This great but you don't need a Steinway to sound nice.
Did I say that?
Que maravilha, tatuagem sp
Technically well done but a bit mechanistic. Needs lilt. Player must feel it. Sorry!
No, not for now. Sorry.
No. I was joking ... as denoted by the little sideways smiley face at the end of my comment. Lighten up.
Oh boy this is hard to do and stay relaxed without gathering tension. While keeping accuracy. Nicely done!
does your piano need 88 keys to perform this?
This song sounds glorious on a grand piano.
