    In '74 when I was 17 I saw "The Sting" with Paul Newman and Robert Redford in London.
    A great movie and I loved the music.
    When I got back to Copenhagen I went to the record shop to try find Scott Joplin's rags.
    They were a bit curious about my sudden interest in rag time music.

  • @hnnymn

    Well done! Perfect tempo, nice clarity, without sacrificing the playfulness of this one. It reminds me of “The Easy Winners” - both are rare Joplin compositions of pure carefree joyousness without a hint of sadness or regret. I imagine Joplin wrote them during a happy uncomplicated time in his life, having found love, recognition, and a measure of wealth. But Joplin's nature was not given to endless sunshine.
    Your performance of this one is as good as I've heard. Much better than Rifkin's, which is idiosyncratically slow (however, I generally view Rifkin as the gold standard of Joplin players).
    Both you and Rifkin feel the need to accent the A♭ (bar 18) in the descending bassline at the end of the first strain. I don't like this at all. That note is so delicious in part because it is so far out of the key; it stands out on its own. If anything, it should be 𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳emphasized.

      I don’t mean to rain on your parade, but the king of ragtime didn’t enjoy a whole lot of carefree uncomplicated times in his life. As an African American living in the reconstruction era life was not easy, despite being a prolific musician. Despite record breaking sales he had continuous financial challenges and died relatively young of syphilis.

      Historical note: This type music was relegated to the saloon because its composers were black and not allowed to play in the big concert halls of the time. Rag Time music had a more respected following in Europe by the European composers than it had in America with its silly Jim Crow laws. History kind of repeated itself 50 years later when many blues artists went to Europe and found a huge following...that later became the British Invasion.

    Now the curtain is going up
    The Entertainer is taking a bow
    Does a dance step and sings a song
    Even gets all the audience to sing along
    Yes he knows just what he must do
    Knows how to bring down the house when he's through
    Snappy patter and jokes, he knows what pleases the folks
    The Entertainer, the star of the show
    It was in vaudeville that he was on the bill
    With all the singers, dancers, acrobats, and clowns
    There was a dancing bear, even a dog act there
    And a comedian who never let 'em down
    But when he came on to do his favorite song
    He really wowed them in the cities and the towns
    They came from near and far
    To see the vaudeville star
    The Entertainer
    Now the curtain is going down
    On the Entertainer, the artist, the pro
    He was put on this Earth
    To bring us laughter and mirth
    The Entertainer, the star of the show

    A nice rendition. Maybe some people say it's just a slightly slower than usual but in the case with many of Scott Joplin's pieces, they're often played way too fast. At this tempo played by Paul, I can at least dance some relaxing lindy hop to it, even though this dance technically wasn't around when THE ENTERTAINER came out.

    Maybe try a Tom Brier rag sometime (Just Peachy, Meditation, Red Roadster Rag, and Razor Blades to name a few). Sounding good.

    I keep looking for classic ragtime pieces I can practice on my 61-key Casio. There is literally one note in this piece that stops me from being able to do it. Ah well, on to the next video. Also, great job! :)

    This version youre playing here sounds so well it helped bring me back to deeeep practice.
    Downloaded a tutorial for it. Once Again, Thank You for your educational videos, including all the ones which show your wrist motions ,hand shapes and your ease of finger gestures.
    In this rendition, Im particulary interested or drawn to your Left Hand movements.
    Your LH is kind of hypnotic as it swings in circular motion (if theres a term for that?)
    AGAIN: MUCH APPRECIATED. YOUR HARD WORK IS NOT UNNOTICED. 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌

    • @rcradiator
      @rcradiator 5 років тому +5

      Kurtis Kroon yes Joplin did write "not fast". However I'm sure he didn't mean play at the speed of a 400 year old dying tortoise. IMO 1.25x this speed is the sweet spot and I occasionally play a bit faster than that.

    bothering anyone else that he played Eb’s in an octave right around 0:27 instead of playing what’s on the music?😳😳

    • @NomadicAssassin1
      @NomadicAssassin1 5 років тому

      The Eb is used as a passing tone so get onto D. These chromatic passages are commonly used in jazz and blues.

      Most Japanese video game music was inspired by American Jazz. Since ragtime later evolved into Jazz, this makes perfect sense.
