Ah the 1930s, economic depression, horrible medical system, the Nazis taking over the German way of life... THE HIGHER STANDARDS FOR MUSICIANSHIP!!! (standards to which I'll never live up to but that's beside the point)

Pauline Alpert roll that I got from Frank Himpsl's scans I think. Either that or it came from Spencer Chase's scans.

Weird rhythm, chords, tenths, elevenths, hard jumps in the right hand, CROSSING OVER BETWEEN THE LEFT HAND. This is one of Tom Brier's toughest compositions and only a few people have dared to play it. Those people are Henry Lees (@Degenerate_Gen ), Max Libertor, I saw him play it in front of me at the West Coast Ragtime Festival (@maxlibertor ) and Kylan DeGhetaldi (no mention, his channel was terminated but all the music is available on Odysee from his backup channel) and of course Tom Brier in a hard to find video from 2008.
The score was run through Sibelius by way of Music XML, the other video I have of this used a rather flat sounding MuseScore export.

According to YouTube Analytics this tune is being searched for by you guys a lot so I posted this hoping the algorithm might spare me a cent of its attention.

Kicking off June with another recording of a roll I filmed previously with much much worse audio, Enjoy the studio quality!

Original video was filmed by @dangerousnoodle3730
Audio was recorded with a phone sitting on the back of the piano but because of the phone being set with the top facing the wall, only one of the two stereo mics was really picking anything up making the audio mostly come out of the right channel. Because one mic was only doing anything I was able to just mix the audio down to a mono track and I mastered it with Dolby Atmos. Video was sharpened a bit to at least partially counteract the quality drop from my YouTube downloader and a fujifilm chrome filter was put on for a slightly more poppy color tone.

I did this in BTD5 and the lag was sooooo bad. Here's the rematch in 6 and you can get a LOT farther than in 5.

If you're looking at the thumbnail and are jealous that I can reach a D major tenth, don't be. My hand is breaking the tenth and is in motion, I wish I could reach that bastard.
