Can get a bit monotonous if listening to all pieces in sequence. Recommend using these songs with others on shuffle mode.

2.0 out of 5 stars Talented pianist, but far too fast, May 2, 2010

The songs on this album sounds like the person playing just wanted to show off how fast he/she could play them without regard for how fast they're supposed to be played. If you want to hear a talented pianist playing nearly flawlessly, this is a perfect album. But if you're interested in hearing Scott Joplin's masterpieces as they were meant to be heard, look elsewhere.
