| Maple Leaf Rag with several key changes -- Swanson & Hodges |
 |
Fifteen-year-old phenom Adam Swanson
(YouTube's "adamrag") challenged Frederick
Hodges to play Maple Leaf Rag in B major --
an extremely difficult key in which to play
it. Hodges countered with this arrangement
containing multiple key changes.
Here, both of them play it in that
multiple-key arrangement.
Of course, Maple Leaf Rag was composed by
Scott Joplin, and published in 1899.
At the end of the video, as I pan across the
audience, you can see fellow YouTuber
"wilscool" standing against the wall (a few
feet from Janet Klein) behind a camera
tripod, so it seems he may have gotten this
performance from Frederick's side of the
room. Keep an eye out in case he posts that
angle!
This was recorded on Saturday, 17 November
2007 at the 21st annual West Coast Ragtime
Festival in Sacramento, California.
As for playing the Maple Leaf Rag in B major,
Tom Brier answered that challenge at the
post-festival party, playing it in a duet
with Swanson. Another fellow YouTuber,
tdub1941, recorded that performance, so keep
an eye out for that as well.
