A few years back, one of the Music Managers on the cruise ship I was working on added a special instruction to my schedule for the next day. "Practice 'The Maple Leaf Rag' at 426 BPM (beats per minute)." So I got on my computer music notation software, inputted the score for "The Maple Leaf Rag", and then tinkered with the tempo settings. This was the result, coming in at just over one minute.
