Scott Joplin - Swipesy (Cake Walk) download song

this music is pretty

arthur marshall composed this piece with sj, so give some credit.

I started teaching myself the piano a little over a year ago and I realized something. If you want to get better, play ragtimes. Skip Mary Had a Little Lamb and go straight to 12th Street Rag. It’s ridiculously challenging at first, but I’ve found that I get significantly better each time I learn one.

I taught myself when I was 12 or 13 started with the entertainer.

i love how it's played; you dont NEED to play it like everyone else does, like it's on a piano roll with no feeling or dynamics. shishkabob shrumburger

Now THIS is someone who knows how to play Joplin!

I could've sworn I've listened to this somewhere, I don't know where or when, but it really resonates from some long distant memory, gives me the chills

i will play it, i play mapple rag time, sun flower, easy winners, the entertainer, peacherine, and now Swipesy its perfect, im mexican but love this music and these ages,!!!

Joplin was not the only one who wrote this I believe he had help from Arthur Marshall or someone like that

This is the best version I've ever heard, respect.

Knowing that this was largely Marshall's work, I love how the music transitions from childlike play...like a couple of black kids tapdancing...to something suddenly stately and gentelmanly in the third section. I knew all along that would be Joplin's part! Then the fourth part, is like Marshall's reaction to Joplin's part. Wonderful!

What a lovely piece, I'm thinking of learning this myself

Lovely.Early morning and a spring in my step.

I love the way flats and naturals come together.

I've realized after listening to so many people play Joplin, I realize you can't just play the notes, but you have to know how it flows, there's a bit of "hop, skip, jump" with a suave slide and all that jazz. It's like a suave gentleman with a cane and hat just gliding across the sidewalk making everything dull brighter. And THIS, my folks, is how you get it RIGHT! THANKYOU PIANO MANIAC. You have NO idea how many times I've blasted this music on my player.

Whenever I hear Scott Joplin's songs, I think of Disneyland because they always play his songs on Main Street.

Pure poetry! Yet so simple. The reason? It's the work of a genius(es).
