I've been listening to that YouTube clip of Ida Cox and Jesse Crump (just found out they were married), and am hypnotized by his piano playing. I don't know...

hi guys, my own favorite modern ragtime piano piece that i have heard at different venues and also believe has been recorded by several ragtimers is bryan...
Bob, Jesse's style boils down to a boogie woogie right hand over a stride/swing left hand. If you take what was standard blues right hand and fill out the...
Gosh, now my face *is* red! Thanks, Brett, for the kind words. As Martin Spitznagel would say, though, I guess we have a "mutual appreciation society." For...
I played this at the Peoria contest (tried to, anyway) and a couple of people were interested in the arrangement. It's a J. Lawrence Cook piano roll that I...
Hello, Â I am desperate to find someone who would be able to identify the following piano tune at 0:22 of this old skateboarding video my son used to watch...
No effort at all. Four notes. Ragtime Oriole by James Scott - 1911. It's a piano roll version, and sounds exactly like the recording done by Mike Montgomery...
Bill's spot on correct.....its the Ragtime Oriole piano roll, quite possibly Mike Montgomery's recordings of it (which is probably the most readily available...
I watched the vid again....I think, too, it speaks well of ragtime, how well-suited the music seems to be, it strikes me as quite appropriate music to...
The advantage here is surely not in memorizing : it is about ability to read sheet music. Far too many pianists are, in reality, poor / average sheet music...
Godowsky recorded Triakontameron complete for the Wilcox and White company's "Artrio" system. I know of a complete set of these roll here in the UK which live...
is now online for free download at: http://www.the <http://www.the> modist.com This edition is all music from the early to mid 1920s inluding Arthur Lange's...
Really. There is no easy answer on this one. It really does comes down to a matter of preference and ability whether it's memorizing a piece or reading it off...
Adam, By "ability to read sheet music" do you mean the ability to read a score whether one is near a piano or not? I can't at the moment look at a piece of...
You don't need perfect pitch to hear a score in your head by just reading it. I don't have perfect pitch, though pretty good relative pitch, and can sit down...
Hi Rachel, All it takes is practice, just like learning to read any language. You don't need perfect pitch to be able to hear the music in your mind either....
"Ragtime Oriole" on the skateboarders clip is way too fast. But they did that for effect. However, the version of "Oriole" on the site that Bill E. mentioned...
However, Leo Sr. was piano teacher to David Guion, who wrote the "Texas Fox Trot", which is every bit as good as anything Joplin ever wrote. Bb ... piece ... ...
I've long wanted to write a book teaching the rhythm piano style of Jimmy Blythe, Clarence Johnson, etc. but I think I'll have to wait 'till my music degree :)...
Well, in that example, yes. However in the earlier "Mr. Crump's Rag" of 1923, it is markedly different. You will notice the inclusion of novelty breaks, a more...
... Sorry to have created such torture with my performance of the piece. It's first negative I've had on it in the 8 years its been posted. I choose tempos...
Thanks again for helping me solve my Ragtime Oriole mystery! On the same topic, was wondering if anyone could recommend sheet music for the Ragtime Oriole...
Hey gang, I posted a folder of .mp3's highlighting some truly stellar performances by the year's finalists (minus Russell Wilson - I'll add his when I have...
Masters Music Publications (a division of E. F. Kalmus & Co., Inc.) has published a collection of ragtime piano solo works called World's Greatest Piano Rags...
Oops!! So sorry Bill. I had no idea that was you playing or I would have kept quiet. You are one of my favorite pianists, and from your CD "Bag of Rags"...
This clip, even though it was posted recently, is apparently from quite a while ago, judging by how Linda and Trebor look in the vid, and how they both looked...
