I'm learning Scott Joplin's "Weeping Willow" In my effort to learn to play Joplin's music correctly, I was wondering how something is meant to be played. The...
... There is a similar passage in the B section of Paragon, ms. 3, 7, 11, and in the corresponding measures in the B section of Sleepy Hollow. The intent here...
Hi again. I was thinking of a different passage where the lower C is held. In context of Weeping Willow, it should not be too much of a stretch to hold a lower...
Here is how I play the first measure: 1,2,4,1,2,4,1&4. I don't think Joplin's music was intended to be played without pedal although I agree with your...
And this brings to mind another question... We have a Yamaha P70, since we live on the 12th floor of a large condominium building, and a regular piano can be...
Here is a link to a video on youtube of a piano player named Kurt "The Dude" playing Rube Bloom's composition "Soliloquy". Does anyone recognize the piano...
Hello all. In the Doctor Jazz updates there is a performance of Tank Town Bump played by Terry Waldo. Great playing by Terry of a Jelly Roll Morton tune. The...

We've all had those red faces now and then . . . and not just from sunburns. Although the other "burns" are more painful, we treat them as you and Ed have...

These are among the pieces by the relatively unknown Archie W. Scheu, yet viable parts of Ohio Ragtime that were regarded even when they were first circulated,...
Randy, Dick's always been good with me about clearing things up like this. Try this email address: dick@rag[dash]time[dot]com (0f course, "[dash]= - and [dot]...
Mmm... Randy, I meant to open with "So sorry to hear that you haven't received your folio yet," and you'll see the first part of that sentence at the bottom of...
A good friend of mine in Miami Beach, Florida would like to sell his 1924 Steinway Aeolian Duo-Art grand player piano. (Serial #225664) It was completely...
Todd, It would be nice to hear how you liked the film "Whirl of Life" if you go to see it. I heard they showed this during one of the Stanford Dance Camp weeks...
I think that Joplin meant for one to use the sustain pedal. On a concert grand and on most uprights, the middle pedal works like this: Press down the middle...

... Further clarification. The sostenuto depends greatly on gravity for proper execution. Grand piano dampers are free falling. The sostenuto pushes a bar that...
