| 20 | | | Performer's name: | Woodog (Forrest Halford) | | From: | Bowling Green KY | | Experience: | 2 years back after a 20 years absence, 15 years before that | | Direct music link: | click to download | | Title of piece: | Scott Joplin - Gladiolus Rag | | Composer: | Scott Joplin | | Duration: | 04:18 | | Source of music: | Sheet Music - played from memory | | Instrument used: | 1954 Baldwin L - rebuilt by me! Tuned to Ron Koval Well temperament | | Recording method: | Zoom Q2HD | | Technical feedback wanted: | Yes | | Additional info: | this was my 6th take. I downloaded Audacity on the 12th, learned how to use the Zoom on the 13th, recorded on the 14th. I'm excited to be able to record now! Just have to face my fears and get better at it.
this piece turned out to be more difficult than my first listen back in Nov. 2013 led me to believe! |

| 21 | | | Performer's name: | briansaddleback | | From: | Irvine, CA | | Experience: | Several years as a child mainly just Hanon and a few Czerny. And most recently at this age, on and off since 2007. | | Direct music link: | click to download | | Title of piece: | Eugenia | | Composer: | Scott Joplin | | Duration: | 04:24 | | Source of music: | Sheet music | | Instrument used: | Casio AP 24 | | Recording method: | Anvil | | Technical feedback wanted: | Yes | | Additional info: | Just wasn't myself doing this recording and just tried to get in whatever I can as I have to leave real soon and did not account for the fact I had to submit before 9PM Pacific, which meant I had to get it in now (Im late already for where I have to go).
I really love this piece. I played it much better last week and I dont spike or jab at the piano like the Anvil program suggests that I am doing. However, I know I got to overcome the 'red dot' or 'recital' mental block that I experienced with this. Hands kept shaking and flubbing and had to start over even after a couple of notes for maybe several dozen takes!!! I just kept flubbing the first few notes!!!
It is amazing I even got through this piece and recorded what I can.
ENJOY ?! |

| 22 | | | Performer's name: | jotur/Cathy Turner | | From: | Santa Fe, NM | | Experience: | 2 years of lessons in my early teens, playing for dancing since 1995 | | Direct music link: | click to download | | Title of piece: | Original Rags | | Composer: | Scott Joplin | | Duration: | 06:11 | | Source of music: | Scott Joplin: King of Ragtime | | Instrument used: | Casio PX-100 | | Recording method: | keyboard to computer, Audacity | | Technical feedback wanted: | Yes | | Additional info: | Here it is! It isn't great  but it's a lot better than I had any right to expect it to be  You'll recognize the trouble I had with the D part, but it wouldn't have been doable at any kind of tempo at all without the help from the Joplin recital folks. Thank you all!
This is one of Joplin's earliest rags. My understanding is that it is, in fact, several different "folk rags" from players Joplin was hearing all over the place that Joplin pieced together. There are no first and second endings, and no transitions to hold different parts together. Nonetheless, tho I couldn't play it as lively as I had hoped, there is still of the upbeat feeling of ragtime, and maybe a little of the some of the lyricalness I find in Joplin's music.
I speeded up, too
Thank you, Whizbang, for spearheading this. I'm really looking forward to listening. |

Not as much music as I had hoped, but that happens. I've been playing this in and out of my repertoire since I first submitted to a quarterly recital in 2010. My hands have grown much so there's still some iffy octaves. Some day it will actually be a waltz. |
