The Maple Leaf Rag by Scott Joplin

in music •  7 years ago 

This is a COVER, with me playing the classic rag time song. I make no claim to the rights or ownership of this song.

Funny Story:
My second music teacher had me learn this song as one of my assignments.
I loved it. Not everyone gets the hand of that left hand and the coordination required to play ragtime.
No brag, just fact.
I memorized the first two sections, and played them for years as part of my 'from memory repertoire', knowing that there was a third section that I only remembered the first couple of measures....THEN:
I got this keyboard, and the Maple Leaf Rag came programmed into the permanent memory.
I thought "alright! Now, I'll be able to listen to that third section, and remember what I've forgotten".
It worked too, only there was a fourth section I was TOTALLY unfamiliar with.
I had to buy the sheet music so I could learn and memorize the whole thing.
