This is not everyone's cup of tea but it keeps us OAPs alive in Spain !

From this post:

Leander is clearly a very talented young man, but I think some of his performances would sound better if he slowed down. This applies particularly to ragtime pieces such as Fig Leaf Rag, whose composer Scott Joplin regularly included in his manuscripts the instructions “Do not play this piece fast. It is never right to play ragtime fast.” Leander himself raised this question in the pinned comment on the YouTube page:

I was first introduced to ragtime through Scott Joplin’s piece The Entertainer, which was famously used in the movie The Sting. For me, the definitive versions of that and other Joplin compositions were played by Joshua Rifkin, but I’ve now discovered the equally listenable Scott Kirby. Both played Fig Leaf Rag at a considerably slower pace than young Leander plays it.

He certainly does seem to enjoy playing, almost always with that infectious grin not far away!

Whilst his ragtime is too fast for us, his boogie woogie timing sounds just right to me:

Thanks for the link to the Ann Charters performance.

Perhaps top of the list for me, Joplin’s very last composition: Magnetic Rag

He certainly is. That was delightful!

Thanks for the link, Geoff.

And it isn’t all ragtime and boogie woogie, although his playlist comprising such pieces currently has 51 videos on it. He also has a playlist of 28 classical pieces, including The Hummingbird by Christopher Benfield, Fantasia No. 3 in D minor by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and Songs My Mother Taught Me by Antonín Dvořák (whom he calls ‘Anton Divorak’, clearly not having been told that Dvořák should be pronounced ‘Dvor-zhak’). A couple of the comments on the Dvořák piece are from people who seemed to think that Leander’s mother taught him those ‘songs’.

Yes, also well worth listening to (and watching, of course).

What is happening here? All those men with those poles.

Presumably pausing while Andrea and Manuela are singing.

Are they putting up a circus tent or a tent for a flower show or the like?
