Update: ONE MILLION VIEWS!!! My 2nd video to hit this mark. Thanks everyone! (11/7/10)

Hi everyone, this is a re-recording of the maple leaf rag with less audio distortion. I hope that made it better. Unfortunately all your kind comments and ratings are gone, sorry!

About the speed: I strived to play it at this specific speed and I think it is appropriate and not excessive. Of course, you're entitled to have your own opinion though.

This piece was learned and recorded in 14 days :)

This was literally perfect.  Brought tears to my eyes after listening to version after version of goofy flare and flash by people improvising and losing the purity of form that Joplin wrote.  This is exactly how Mrs. Leyva forced me to learn it 40 years ago.  The way it was written!  Bravo Sir, Bravo!
