Well, ok - that GB pianist is great but you did such a nice job of dynamics and touch variations, (I end up doing that sort of thing by pencil, and I know it's a big job.) I think it's neat that you also have it on sheet music. Finale? Sibelius? Have you thought of posting the sheet music on one of the notation programs' sites? It sure is cute and bouncy - good things to be! |

Really nice Really nice modern rag piece! And it is good to know that Carolines teddy got a piece of his own. Now we know what he's dancing to ... well ... "dancing" ... |

It only gets better. While I liked the first one, I think the stripping down works great because the piano part is so rich by itself. I think the volume changes could be smoother -- maybe just a lighter touch with the volume curves -- because sometimes it almost seems to drop out of sight, and this piece needs to maintain maximum bouciness. Nice job! |

Impressive ... I liked the 17641 version better myself .. it had the 'happiness and bounce' (as has been commented before) but flowed better - the 17923 version seemed to me to force in some more rag and bounce and consequently interrupted the smooth flow. Movie soundtrack application is perfect ... I hope it get's used in a major movie, so it can reach the masses! |

Happy Well Done. My mood is lifted while listening to your music, keep it up, if I could change one thing it would be that I wish I could play piano like that. IT is mainly rag but the underlying classical theme is there, which I dont normally call myself "one that listens to classical music," but you find a way to put an edge on it that keeps me wanting more. I must ask, did you learn piano off a lot of classical music? |

Very interesting composition I love this, I don't find it too far from ragtime roots, on the contrary. Very artfully done with the dynamics, I don't find them to sudden at all. I would be very interested in seeing the sheet music because I'm also an amateur ragtime buff at the piano. Excellent, excellent work. And thanks again for your comment on my tune! MunichG |

Great dynamics! It's light with feeling. It is one of those feelings I don't know if I can describe. I guess it's like happiness that kind of chokes you up a little. It has a sense of innocence. Thanks for letting me use it for my shop! Doug |

Wow... You could have fooled me, had you not said this wasn't played... the dynamics of this is very natural, and conveys a lot of feeling even though it's programmed. The structure is very easy to follow, and leaves you feeling good after you listen to it. Great work! |

Fun This really has a nice music feel to it. Enjoyed the other one as well. Like the carosel feel to it. Has a picture story to it somehow. Nice Drak! |

Animated artwork The gif... It freaked me out. Anyway, the song. It's like.. restrained happines. or some reason that's what it makes me think of. It doesn't really sound that MIDI.. how'd you get it to sound so authentic? I like it! |

perfect the way it is sweet. you play really well, and as usual your compositions are so moody. i found this to be a blend of the playful and the melancholy. i can easily see this in a soundtrack. melody is great, and your technique is impressive. I never heard it with the afore mentioned drums, but my impression is that it was a good decision to lose them (unless you did a reprise with the drums, and your friend playing a trumpet melody over the top). nicely done, I am really impressed. I guess I need to become a part of your fanbase. |

nice very enjoyable. (but coffee-wise, i would rate this one cup at the most Maybe it was the triplesec.) fun album artwork. |

"Bouncy" nice work on the keys. I like the use you make of the dynamics; hard, soft touches (sorry don't know what ya call that:) to make this bounce along. . - Harold |

I am young again! Such a nice, happy, upbeat song. One cannot listen and not be smiling. You are so gifted and as with all your music, your talent astounds! Thank you for taking the lead for so many of us and showing us how the pros do it. Great song. Thanks for sharing. |

Ooh! I love music like this! I wish i could be so expressive with only a piano. It definitely made me smile... strangely, it also brought up sadness, longing, something slipped through my fingers... ? It conjures an old-time feeling that must be so much older than me, yet something to which i can relate. Both happy and sad, for me. Thanks for letting it be downloadable. : ) |

Wow I am so glad I found this, nothing like a rag to elevate your mood. This has such a modern twist to it too. Great piece of music. |

Caroline's Bear Rag (aka Lickety Split) I really like the accents and the dynamics in this piece. Very effective indeed! I like that you hold back the tempo. |

Let's Dance! I think this is totally fun and if I had any spot of talent playing ragtime music I'd beg you for the sheet music. As a non-pianist I think you did a fabulous job here. Sounds like a fun piece to listen to - has just enough movement in the left hand to make it interesting but not too difficult. The first theme is just great, very fun and melodic. Great balance between the hands. Good back and forth play. The second theme - comes in around the 28 second mark for the first time - balance doesn't seem quite right. The right hand feels like it kind of just drops out - which would be fine if the left hand was doing somethin g a little more interesting, but it is basically continuing what it was doing before. I like the idea of switching to the left hand for a bit - just maybe change the part a little to make it stand out more. I think dynamics are pretty good overall. It would be cool if you could do some effects with this to make it sound a little out of tune and crackly - like it's an old recording of someone playing this at the old spinnet piano in the living room. Great piece mr. dragon. Lots of fun - made me smile and get up and dance around the living room. |
