The composer was Vincent Youmans. The score I got was from imslp.org (imslp.org/wiki/No%2C_No%2C_Nanette_(Youmans%2C_Vincent)). Most of this was rather heavily improvised as I played it from the original piano-vocal publication. There is a full recording of what I played on my channel too.

No. I like it as it is.

@@dylan-kerry It might not hurt you but it'll ruin the strings if it stays like that.

@@PiotrBarcz Hmm I’ll have to see then.

@@dylan-kerry The strings will get kinked and then when someone gets the piano and tries to tune it up to pitch every note will have false beats and be impossible to tune.

@@PiotrBarcz So I just need to never get a tuner?

Are you comparing me to Tom Brier? Or is this a random comment. Just wondering as it seems a bit random

I'm experimenting with clickbait to see the effect it has on views and such

@@dylan-kerry I see

Thanks! I've just started out really so I'm making fine progress.

It’s the mic picking up the piano or something like that I don’t remember how it all works

@@dylan-kerry Oh was it feedback? Huh

@@PiotrBarcz Yes that’s the word

Pianos shouldn't be amplified anyway, trust me, it never works and it always ends in the piano sounding even more muddy and inaudible

It's terrible. Out of tune at the top, heavy keys... sounds all right though.

@@dylan-kerry Heavy keys? Sounds awfully bright to me honestly xD

@@PiotrBarcz I think they're rather heavy. Fine for the elbow in tiger rag though. I find the piano is alright but I don't think it's exceptional really. I've played many better ones.

@@dylan-kerry Yeah, Hoffman's aren't anything special.

Yes this played from a transcription of the piece as played by James P. Johnson. This is where I got most of my transcriptions of original recordings. www.blueblackjazz.com/en/transcription/89/89-james-p-johnson-bleeding-hearted-blues-eb-maj-transcription-pdf

I've actually never listened to the piece. I just played from the score how I felt was nice. I'll have a listen now. I did tend to play pieces a bit quick when performing back then. I've got a bit more used to it now so if I'm playing a slow piece it'll be slow if I want to play it that way

@@dylan-kerry Yeah you definitely will want to check out Chris Dawson's performance of this one, it's extraordinary in so many ways ;)

@@PiotrBarcz It was nice. Not my favourite sort of stuff. I don’t really play the piece much now. I’ve got hundreds of different pieces on my piano I never have time to play them all

@@dylan-kerry Yeah, it's a bit classical compared to the stuff you listen to for sure xD It takes a wide scope of interest to appreciate it in the end.

I got used to playing it slow and then completely forgot when performing it haha

@@dylan-kerry 😂😂😂

This is the full piece. It was just the first stain that was composed and it seems that Jelly Roll just wrote the start of the second strain. After the first part in the notated transcription there is just a melody of what could have become the second if the piece was ever finished.

That's too bad, this is a really nice sounding piece.

Thank you

It lends a more authentic feel to the video. I'm going to try and work out how to get a really authentic black and white video but for now this is the best I've got.

I don't think a lot of the piece but it's fun playing the repeat double time

I'm great with my sight reading. I used to sight read a few pieces every day mainly Joplin rags and then whatever I could find of James Scott and Joseph Lamb. After that it was a lot of Jelly Roll and then I ran out so it was just whatever I bought off Paul. Then you commented on one of my videos a while ago and I found your channel and I've been learning about a lot more ragtime composers and getting back into sight reading anything I can find of theirs.

@@dylan-kerry Cool! If you've not already, I would strongly recommend watching the documentaries I've uploaded and in particular the Dick Hyman Century of Jazz. I think that you are quite gifted and just need some recommendations of directions. Good luck bro!

@@itsRemco I've been meaning to look at some of those uploads.

Well said. Great playing. Just a bit of refining and it’ll be fantastic!

Thank you. I am aware when I play faster pieces I get the chords incorrect quite a lot. I'm still getting used to the muscle memory of it but I do feel I'm improving with it all. I tend to play the chords fine at a slower tempo so it is just the tempo. Thanks for the encouragement though, it's nice to see other musicians enjoying my playing.

Thanks! This was my first attempt on one of these. I'll make some more in the future

Thanks!

Thanks
