Hey, what's up? I was wondering if anyone ever played a piece of music (ragtime in this case) and left out one note? An example is that I'm trying to learn...
... I have discarded enough notes in my playing to reconstruct Beethoven's Ninth Symphony. The entire orchestral score. A dozen times. Or more. It's OK. As...

I -occasionally- notice missing notes. (Well, more than occasionally).. but one has to temper that response with all those EXTRA notes that get thrown in as...
I, too, don't mind missing notes--if it makes the performance cleaner. I'd much rather hear a pianist remove notes and play the remaining ones accurately than...

So, it looks like we will have not only the gentleman of ragtime Bryan Wright in Coney Island this Saturday, but the ofay son of Eubie Blake, Terry Waldo. So...
This piece, 4'33", has been a controversial piece of art for decades. What I wonder about, however, is the tempo that this guy uses, because his 4'33" is...
Even thought this is veering from ragtime... 4'33" does not *have* to be exactly that duration. John Cage chose that length for his initial performance, and...
