I love this piece called "Solace for the Piano" by Joplin.  Mr. Joplin wrote many fast-paced rags, but this one is a slow, pensive one and it has always been stunning to me.  When you hear this piece performed, some performers will rush it as if to say, "I know it is supposed to go slow, but I can take it faster, and I want to show you that I can."  This performer, Mr. Dyson, impresses me because he shows self-control and plays the piece the way it was inteded to be played.
