The Entertainer on a 1915´s Piano

- The Entertainer, by Scott Joplin played on an old piano. Honky-tonk has the sound closest to the pianos of the time, and probably that was how ragtime sounded in its time. This piano is inaccurate and probably Scott Joplin was alive when this piano was made.

I feel like the piano gives this this song so much more character
Koda Nayback piece*
@Scrappleton II a more modern piano?
Feels like I’m roaring 20s, before the crash
It really does!
Yep I agree
Clever, you got someone else to do the staring for you
Lol the freaking painting 😂😂😂
And the bloke on top has been waiting far too long for his turn.
Just for reference that someone else is young Mozart portrayed by Pietro Antonio Lorenzoni in 1700s

The joy I felt the day I finally found Scott Joplins home/apartment in St Louis early 1980’s. A gentleman opened the door to us surprised to see visitors. He invited us in and I actually sat on Scott’s bench at Scott’s very old piano. He found my favorite of Mr. Joplins music called “Solace”. I will never forget that moment .
I am sooo jealous right now! Envy is now my middle name. But what can I do? I was ten back then so...
...this comment of yours should be so much higher that this! How ten year old M.R who played piano back then would have given anything to be in your shoes! Man!
Here just take this W!
i wish i was at those times back then
If I could revisit that moment again . The time I spent in Scott Joplins home is Forever etched in my memory ...surrounded in an atmosphere of genious and brilliance .
Joplin would probably be shocked to know his music is still loved and played today. He was a true genius.
Somos tan afortunados de apresiar esta belleza un almivar para el alma y los oidos hoy no podemos decir q nuestros jovenes escuchen estas bellas melodias soy chilena y me averguenza profundamente la mugre q escuchan hoy yo enseñe a mi híjo a escuchar musica clasica jugando con el y hoy lo veo escucharla y me encanta ...gracias padre santo por el don del oido y por esto tan bello❤❤❤❤❤❤
I wish I could tell him that his music inspired people even as far away as Nobuo Uematsu, who wrote "The Spinach Rag" for Final Fantasy 6
Elvis music will be played long after he dies, as well.
@@indridcold8433 no offense but i doubt that itll be that popular
@@indridcold8433 Elvis didn't make music. He performed other people's music
That piano has a small bit of reverberation like old saloon pianos. Sounds great.
Whomagoose long ago soldier I thought the same thing
hammers probably got hard as stone over time
When you take two identical strings, tune them to the same note, then detune one of them very slightly it produces 'reverb' -- that's the way this piano is tuned, a Honky Tonk piano
Mick Kennedy Not reverb, dissonance. Old strings, worn out hammers, dampers, lack of maintenance, etc. creates the sound. A piano is like a car. It get worn with usage and age. Regular tuning is a must. Old beer soak saloons are not a good place for a large musical instrument.
@@keithhayes3600 Why do you think I put the word 'reverb' in quotes? -- and it was what he was talking about anyway. Musicians have known for years the trick of slightly detuning, particularly 2 rhythm guitars -- I used to do it many years ago when playing in bands, it enlivens the sound, makes it sound like 'stereo' -- cancellation of beats is what a piano tuner uses to perfectly tune paired strings, pianos, 12-string guitars, mandolins, bouzoukis
Yes, Scott Joplin was alive when this piano was made, since he passed away in 1917!

This song was written in 1902.
Thanks a lot guys, I'm moved, I didn't think my music became so famous.

u awesome !
This song hits a very special chord for me.
Growing up in the suburbs of Chicago and being poor, as a child, I remember my parents would save up all year to take us kids to the Six Flags Great America Amusement Park. When you walk into the park, there was a sprawling garden full of every color of flower you can imagine, a huge wishing pond and directly ahead, as a kid, looked like the biggest carousel ever created. There were stands serving fresh popcorn, cotton candy, you can hear the roar of crowds on the rollercoasters and I remember holding my parents hands, as excited as a kid can be.
Throughout the park were speakers blaring old rag time music and I always remembered this song playing on the loudspeakers, smelling the popcorn and cotton candy, seeing all the bright flower colors, hearing laughter and screaming on all the rides. I sit here, crying, of how wonderous those moments in time were.
Thanks for playing this song, a big fan of yours, but, this one really tugged at my soul.

Hoo rah , also in “ old Chicago “ it seemed and out of tune piano was playing away

Me agrada leer anécdotas del ayer...yo ,como a ti, también recuerdo con agrado "vereda tropical" con el conjunto Costa Azul,era yo un niño,entramos al cinema(en aquel entonces) y estaba esa melodía la cual me gustó mucho,crecí escuchando mucha música instrumental (jazz) y ....son bellos y muy agradables los recuerdos, saludos y bendiciones desde el primer municipio de la América continental, La Antigua Veracruz México.

All in Heaven smile when somebody plays this piece of art
Rather frustrating when nobody pays one bit of attention to what Christ Himself said.
My grandfather taught himself to play piano by ear starting with this song. He loved ragtime. We asked him yo play “Ragtime Daddy” when we’d visit as kids, lying on the floor as we watched his feet move under the baby grand.
In the end, the cancer had taken most of his energy and he became too weak to play. The last time we saw him, he said he had just had a blood transfusion and was feeling great. We asked him to play The Entertainer (“Ragtime Daddy”) for us. I was in my 30s, but I lay on the floor and watched his feet, knowing it would be the last time, and crying the entire time.
He died a couple months later, this piece playing his photo montage at his funeral.
Every time I play, I remember sitting with him as he taught me. Every now and then, I will listen to this song and just remember him.
Thank you for the great memories. ☮️💟
your grandpa was
the most greatest person in the world
My condolences. Your grandpa freaking rock!
Thank you 😊
Hi. Beautiful story, you might like to know that you’re not just remembering your grandpa when you’re listening to this, but that you’re feeling him listening with you! Enjoy.
We had a piano like this in our front room when I was a kid candle holders as well, my dad used to play he all way's vamped with his left hand and played the melody with his right hand, I am now 78 thanks for the memory.
Thank you for the memory, too.
I feel like it sounds much more authentic and better on an older piano. It feels like I’ve been transported back in time.
Of course. I own a 1920 piano as well. It has a warm sound, that's great for ragtime. But also the romantic stuff like Chopin.

That was the best version of “The Entertainer” I’ve heard in my life - and I am in my sixties! Fantastic job sir!
Add some good old whisky and you're done Sir...👌
Toms Mucenieks made the best version of this music. You would better listen to it.
I think the fact that he just did the whole piece from memory with maybe only two/three mess-ups is phenomenal!
@@RCassinellomost musicians don’t play with music, but I didn’t hear any mistakes that he made. I think it might just be his battered old piano
Me too! ...and I'm nearly 80! Gotcha!
One of the best recording of The Entertainer I've ever heard! Low dynamics, as it should be. Not too fast. Quite regular tempo. Perfect execution. 5 stars!
O Lordão manda bem.
Dead right. It’s music. It’s not an exercise in keyboard gymnastics. Too many rattle it out - because they can.
Not too slow either - I have heard way too many pianists play this tune at a slow, very dragging pace, and have heard the evidence that Joplin himself played it at a nice clip. I think Vinheteiro does hit this perfectly - fast enough and not too fast, the perfect middle ground of speed that this song needs.
Nah, the hypixel one is better ua-cam.com/video/mh6PIkuFNOs/v-deo.html
@rnbdc Tom Brier's is amazing, check that one out
My daughter worked on this piece for months and months for talent night at school. She had learned the music from one teacher then moved on to another teacher with a totally different style. The new teacher didn’t like going back to a previously learned piece, but for this one she did.
Your piano and this song are meant for each other. Your performance is the best!

My grandmother just died recently (March 20), before her death since January I have been putting her music (mainly Rag) on the living room computer, she is blind and she spent most of it here in the living room in her rocking chair Favorite, this song being the main one that I put on for her, the first time she heard she came from her room to the living room asking who is playing the piano (there is an electric piano in the room) to which I answered that I had placed music , From that moment I began to place more on the opportunity that was presented, and now I only place it to remember her, with this story I want to tell the owner of the channel thank you very much for having touched and delighted my grandmother in her last 3 months of Life, I really appreciate your music and I will continue listening to this song to remember her with affection!

BOSS MUSIC
I think it would just be annoying and straining to play a whole piece with your head cocked like that. If you think about his other top ten type vids they are all takes
Learned to play guitar in college.
Graduated and started working at 21.
My boss's wife was the church organist, and she gave piano lessons to kids.
I took lessons from her weekly. Bought a Yamaha with first pay check.
Every 6 months she had her students perform in a recital at her house.
My piece was the Entertainer. I couldn't read music fast enough; so I just memorized it.
Recently I learned my piano teacher had passed away. RIP, Evelyn.
Now the piano is gathering dust.
Haven't played that piece in 50 years.
Maybe give it a try tomorrow.
Did you?
Yeah, did you?
This is extremely satisfying... it's nice to hear the music of the time being played on the rightful instrument of the time! Love the videos, Lord! :)

I'm learning this song for a recital. This video is very helpful to learn small tips and tricks, such as the use of the pedal wasn't in the original Entertainer. This is the best version with the least mistakes I have found on UA-cam. Very well done!
I am too and im 10
He's doing mistake ?
Joshua Ritchie I’m thinking Scott Joplin wrote this song LONG before the movie “The Entertainer” was written and filmed.
@@tanya5322 Yes it was. The original song was written in 1902 whereas the movie was filmed in 1960.
Cant hear any mistakes.
I don't know exactly what is different about the construction or composition of old pianos that make them sound so different from modern pianos, but I love the sound very much. Hearing old songs played on old pianos is something special. Thank you for giving us such a wonderful gift!
Most of them are slightly out of tune because people can't afford to have a tuner come in to tune it up. A lot of people like that sound too so just leave it.
natural aging of the soundboard
metal clips over the strings
I like how it looks as if Mozart is pointing to him.
This piano is extremely out of tune. Not slightly. Extremely.
Valeu!
You had every right to point: You'd nailed it. Great to hear immaculate playing on an instrument with just the right tone, crisply captured. Thanks.
And...."Not too fast" as Mr.Joplin intended ;-)
I love the sound of the old Honky Tonk pianos, they were used in the old silent films, very nostalgic.

Incredible execution of an amazing composition. Although Joplin is now highly regarded by many, he's still underrated..... dude was way ahead of his time.
Oh yeah? Is ragtime all the rage right now? Being ahead of your time means you weren't popular during your lifetime. Pretty sure Joplin was pretty big in the ragtime days. Just say he's underrated if that's what you meant
@@SnoopyReads Ha, that's OK..... I'm fine with what I typed above. Thanks though.
@@Sasser2015 well then you're an idiot
@@Sasser2015it's probably a bot, or someone messing around.
Well done. Scott Joplin was a genius his own time. Too bad the march structure of ragtime music didn't last, but it did inspire great music to come after. Thanks for playing it on a upright piano from the time period. Who ever refurbished it did a nice job.
The challenge is the syncopation. You have to completely separate the left hand from the right - Its in 2/4 (Cut time,). And Mr.. Joplin annotated each piece with "Not too fast" . It is really a dance form, used for the "Cake Walk" - not the "Cake run" . :-)
2/4 is not cut time 2/2 is cut time
I love the sound of that piano. It sounds just exactly like the upright we had that I played whenever I was growing up. The new pianos just don’t have the correct sound on them - it’s like the new pianos are muffled. The old ones are best and you do a very good job. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Once you play a lot of songs your brain kinda understands how the songs works that makes you learn songs faster.
I have been playing the guitar for some time and i can just hear the song and play it.
I am not saying that he is not impressive tho
@@nerfwalid9568 piano is not like a guitar where you don't need sheet music. On a guitar, you know where your chords are, you know the patterns of where your scales are going to be and you can just improvise stuff without having to play solos note for note every time. On a piano, you're using your left hand to play bass notes and your right hand to play scales. I can't imagine how hard that must be to do without any sheet music to keep track of where you're supposed to be in the song. That's why you don't see a whole lot of pianists playing without sheet music, because it's not easy.
@@ADrunkBassist When playing piano, after playing the song so many times with the sheet music, you don't even need the sheet music anymore since your hands just subconsciously know which keys to press. Once you play a song so many times you start to memorize every note you're supposed to play
@@mr.mcnuggies i can't argue with that since I don't play piano myself. I was merely reflecting that guitar is a much easier instrument to learn because the chords and the scales are always the same shape once you learn them and because you don't have to use both hands to play notes, one hand for bass notes and one hand for higher pitches. To me, that would be much easier to do with sheet music whereas with a guitar, you don't necessarily even need a tab to learn a song.
Some people can sightread anything - others can't read music, but can play anything by ear.
It’s like the song has been reunited with its original partner, the piano.
I also love this man, he does a fabulous job on every song he plays.
I recall humming this to my great aunt, and played it by ear.must of been late 50's. Love it.

The piano the music and playing are so bright. Not damped down❤❤❤❤It.
i am 50 something and have been playing since i was 4. these rag times, for me, were always the hardest. hats off to you! (i used to have a pic of Beethoven hanging by my piano. gave me inspiration.)
The Entertainer was one of the pre-loaded instrumentals on my old Casio keyboard when I was a kid and I used to play it incessantly.

Very beautiful authentic "rag" sound ! You play quite well ! Thank you for this beautiful piece ! Bravo !
Just ran across this video. Very well played. I am a Piano technician, the man who taught me the trade always played this, to check the tuning after he was finished tuning the Piano. As a piano tech, I must point out that needs a good Tuning. Also, I feel the need to point out that the Fall Board proves it's not an early 1900's Piano, because at that time, most up through the 1950's Piano Fall Boards we're made in two parts with a Hinge in-between. Also (Unless it's been refinished) an early 1900's Piano finish would be darkened over time, due to sun damage, and oxidation. Just looking at it I would say It's somewhere between the 1950's and 1960's (1960's there was a movement to modernize old pianos looks by chopping the top and adding a mirror...) But "Almost" ALL pianos before the 1950's had a 2 part Fall Board. I can always be wrong, but that is my opinion.
The strings being slightly out of tune is actually part of the appeal with older pianos. (Slight detuning is also used in chpitune compositions to separate different channels playing the same note at the same time)
You are not wrong. There has been many times where I perfectly tune a woman's piano, just to have to go back a few days later because she said it didn't sound right. I literally go back through and detune the middle strings slightly, and they are happy as a Lamb, people get used to hearing it out of tune, think it's out of tune when it's correct. Pianos are a very diverse instrument for experimentation. I've seen people replace their felt hammers with actual hammers (on UA-cam), ice seen people out tacks in their hammers. Me I always wanted an piezoelectric pickup for a piano so I can hook guitar pedals up to it... Maybe one day I'll do it.
I was thinking something similar. I had a piano that was built in 1918. It was close to black in color and did not sound much like this one as it was tuned every year. I played this exact piece on it quite a bit. Loved Joplin loved my old piano which was originally my grandmothers.
My old spinet has a tambour fall board. For real. I think it's from the 1940's. The piano is covered in ancient naugahyde, very little finished wood. The piano dealer said he thought he had seen a similar piano in an old Jerry Lewis movie. I will admit the piano being played doesn't seem to have a 100 year old finish, but more than that I cannot say.
you rarely hear the entire rendition of this piece of classic music, Well DONE Good SIR! and Thank You!
I first heard thithis when I went to soccer match Leicester city v stoke at filbert street home of Leicester football club in 1960's it always sticks in my mind when ever stoke play Leicester. Love it

Didn't notice...thanks for ruining this. Lol
It’s a portrait of Mozart
@@DavidBrown-ye5xv baby mozart?
rizon72 it's baby mozart, fuck off
This piano may have easily been played by Scott Joplin himself, kind of eerie if you think about it.
Sergio Solorio uhhhhhh
and playing the exact same notes
Joplin played a steinway
Could be his skull on the piano, too
mynamejeff lol that’s pretty freaky
Now the curtain is going up
The Entertainer is taking a bow
Does his dance step and sings his 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
and 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 favourite song
He really wowed 'em
In the cities and the towns
They came from near and far to see the Vaudeville star
The entertainer
Now the curtain is going up
The Entertainer is taking a bow
Does his dance step and sings his 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
I love this guy's confidence and power. Its provokingly good.
It provokes confidence
My Great Grandmother, who passed on last year lived almost to be 102 yrs old and she loved to play this on the piano for her son ( my grandpa) so I’ve been trying to learn it in honor of her and to play for my grandpa 🥲
Took me years to learn it... but I wanted to learn it as a child instead of the BS they had me playing at recitals. I went back to it as an adult and started learning the other biggie: Maple Leaf Rag as well. Please don't give up. the reward is tremendous... all INSIDE. ;) and your Grandpa will love it too.... I know the feeling. Keep up the good work.
@@koh9894 Ive been playing violin ( classical ) for 9 years and want to die to learn ragtime piano maybe one day hopefully.
@@artkrasniqi5693 lol ❣️ definitely don't die. 😉 Just stay committed.
@@koh9894 lol maybe one day ill be able to learn it
Wow , that really is heart warming !
This piece is brilliant, just brilliant. Every American should learn the Scott Joplin story, one of the first and greatest pianists in US history.
The Sting was a great movie ........ with a great signature tune! 🦂🥂
If everybody listened to Scott Joplin there would be no war.
The Usher Yeah, we would just sit down and have a drink. Not too much though. And only apple juice for the kids!
@@yoshi_drinks_tea or sasparilla ...
Only bar fights....
Unfortunately they listened to Wagner
@@doom3d45 The only acceptable form of violence
Cool! I didn't know there was a "second" part. The piano sounds perfect. I hope it continues to get played for another century.🎶🎵
All rags are binary.
Scott Joplin is my main man. Check out his other stuff, too!
Yeah, most people don't know past the first part. The same thing happens with Beethoven's Fur Elise (iconic 1st part), Hungarian Rhapsody (iconic 2nd part) William Tell Overture (iconic 4th part), and many more classical pieces.
A mention to the 2nd and 3rd movements of Moonlight Sonata (which are twice as hard as the first movement from a technical standpoint).
I truly believe hundreds of years from now musicians will still be playing Scott Joplin's works. Including "The Entertainer"..
That is the way it was meant to be heard. Thank you maestro.
I feel like the composers of Mario Bros. music were heavily inspired by this song.
Especially the second half
bruce livingston You must hear Adventure then of T-Square
You are correct. Koji Kondo was inspired by ragtime.
The skull on the piano belonged to that one guy who said: "He can not take MY soul simply by staring at me!"
Radoslav Dejanović most underrated comment ever
Tako je rodjace hahaha, najbolji su nasi komentari😂👌
Radoslav Dejanović Nah, it's a family member, it has the family stare.
I can't erase the westworld flashbacks when i hear this song.
You probably hear the theme song of The Lone Ranger TV series and immediately think of William Tell...
4 out of 5 seniors would agree that if you want to have some nostalgistic fun, look up the 1973 movie, The Sting, with Robert Redford and Paul Newman. This tune was THE musical theme of that greatly entertaining caper/con film.
Le grandi composizioni musicali sono incredibili. Sembrano avvolte da una magia tale che ogni nota appare perfetta lì dov'è in una sequenza che sembra appunto magica nel risultato. Mamma mia che menti creative e ispirate!!!
I've discovered your channel and it's awesome. Thanks
I love the entertainer, it was my favourite song to play on piano as a child (albeit a simpler version) and this really brings back sweet memories
Vin: *doesnt stare at the camera*
Panting: *Oh Hi There!!*
A wonderful version! One of my favorite tunes!!!! It does have that old-timey sound... I can practically smell the unique fragrance of an old piano--musty, with a tang from the strings....
