Frog Legs Rag

"Frog Legs Rag" (1906) by James Scott. Performed on a synthesized piano.

This recording is an excellent example of what a synthesized piano can do, when done properly. It was made to illustrate the article on the rag as a public domain recording could not be found. It appears in Frog Legs Rag and James Scott. Created on a synthesized piano by Shoemaker's Holiday.

Support - both for the content and the synthesized bit. Xavexgoem (talk) 21:43, 4 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Question: Who is the performer? Uploader? Honestly, I don't think the performance is good enough to be featured because of the excessive articulation. --Caspian blue (talk) 04:44, 10 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There is no performer; it is a synthesized piano. Z gin der 2008-10-11T01:50Z (UTC)

You mean the performance was played by a player piano, self-playng piano? I thought term "synthesized piano" referring to synthesizer or digital piano. If so, you may say me to reconsider grading the artistic value of the performance. However it is still not good. --Caspian blue (talk) 02:04, 11 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose This may be the featured sound only for mobile phones. It's a bit "synthetic" :)) Every day I'm forced to listen many good examples, what synth. pianos can do. Sorry --Vejvančický (talk) 19:01, 16 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per Vejvančický. --Klein zach 23:51, 22 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Useful and well done, but the computer performance really doesn't hold a candle to what a good human piano player can do.--ragesoss (talk) 15:16, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
