My father was a pianist who idolized Joplin. In his later years, he struggled with rheumatoid arthritis and lost most of his playing hands' ability. The last time we watched this movie together before he passed away, I was a little sad for him during this scene and he said "At least it wasn't syphilis that took my hands away!"
Amazing sense of humor, thank you for sharing and sorry for your loss.
Ser paciente
I’m so sorry for your fathers loss of RA. It is a truly a terrible disease.
Really sorry for your loss, and sorry the loss he must have felt not to be able to play any more. RA is truly a horrible thing. I have psoriatic arthritis, which is another type of autoimmune arthritis, and it's sometimes so painful to play now. Wouldn't wish it on my worse enemy.
🤣
The entertainer is one of my most cherished pieces that's why i hold great respect to its creator Scott Joplin ❤
Mr Joplin was a genius
Always have enjoyed his music and not many folks can truly play it right.
RIP Mr J and Thank you for sharing your music then and now with the world.

Was Mr J RIP?
It takes a gifted person to play ragtime "right." I studied, worked on, ragtime for over 20 years with no success. "I could hit the notes, but I could not make the music."
People race through it at breakneck speed. The audiences love it. Woe betide the poor soul who comments that Joplin himself designated the tempo be "not too fast."
Made huge success only to have all his posessions stolen in new york. Many compositions went missing i believe and ultimately the man was stunted from reaching his true potential, tragically died early from syphylis, but still became THE GREATEST RAGTIME COMPOSER IN HISTORY
The first time I heard this song I was only about eight years old and it was on a player piano. This is a piano that you put in a roll of paper with little holes in the paper, like the old punch cards for computers, long like a scroll. The piano would play the music with no further help. I was as fascinated by the song as by the piano and got them to play it over and over.
That's called a "player piano"! 😎
This song is simply spectacular!
Happy Birthday to Scott Joplin REST IN POWER his Birth Card is 9 of Hearts 💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓 Blessings and Hugs 💜💜💜
I turned 30 years old today.
And I too am a musician/pianist.
With the utmost respect for the maestro:
Scott Joplin
@@voronnoir3728 Happy Birthday 🎂🎈
@@markherron1407 Thank you!
Enough to make you want to cry, isn't it? One wonders what other sensational works he could have created were it not for his illness.
probably up there with Mozart who only lived to be 35
I listen to Scott Joplin's songs a lot. He was a rag time genius.
What is rag time?
@@eeyyaakk6801 Ragtime was a music genre in the late 19th and early 20th century. The primary characteristic was it was written with a syncopated beat or "ragged". It was a very happy up beat style of music which is why I like it.
Love hearing ragtime played properly. Not fast but with plenty of movement and expression. Much better than when people rush it
This is the music that’s come to my attention
One of my heroes, this man.
The Ice Cream truck would play this music... man what memories!
lol and Greensleeves. Great days!
1:26 we have all been there. Even though you could do it 1000s of times before it is just not happening when you need it to.
Ha good one ;)
So sad he died so young. Contracted syphilis, which affected his ability to play piano. That’s why he’s struggling in this scene. Thank you Scott Joplin for your music. I’m learning to play The Entertainer and I love it. I’ve loved it my whole life and I’m finally learning it!
It only affected him in the final 4-6 years of his life. Prior to that he was a very competent pianist.
So sad when he couldn’t play anymore 😢
Yeah, by 1912/13 he had developed dementia (caused by syphilis) and lost his ability to play, his last recorded piano roll in 1917 is hard to hear due to that.
Used to love playing this. A reminder to tune the piano😂
When I was a kid in the 70s I loved this song. I think my Mom had it on something called a "record."
Scott Joplin truly was truly the idol of his age who made all kinds of money when he was on the stage
What is interesting is that before you could buy records, or CDs or download music, you had to buy the sheet music to hear your favorite song. It seems that pianos were more common back then. Instead of buying a state of the art hi-fi system, you had to buy a good piano.
Before record players and radios became common it WAS common for homes to have some musical instrument, often a piano (they are just so versatile!) Even the poorest home would have at least a guitar or mandolin. By the second half of the 20th century it became a "thing" that the ability to play an instrument was a "rare talent'. Before then it wasn't .
A genius!
People tend to idealize those times, but one thing everyone keeps forgetting is how bad medicine was back then. Today we are used to people living past 70, back then you died of measels or tuberculosis, or cholera, or ... in the case of Joplin, Syphilis.
I love this piece
It's interesting how they appealed to the silent era in 1970s films. Even before Betamax and VHS.
Was that Maple Leaf Rag before The Entertainer?
Yes, it was.
I never knew that Ed Norton and Lando Calrissian were friends.
We've got to give him more time!
Billy Dee! Billy Dee!
A newer film should be made about Joplin
Am I the only one here that's gonna point out the thomas the tank engine lick at 0:19 ? Sir Topham Hatt was very pleased with the Joplin
Samuel Fuller! Great song also
The starting song is Maple Leaf Rag.
Piano
Hi,
I found the sheet music, please contact me if you want it, I can share the link.
As often, it is not as easy to play as it seems :) but very funny once you can master it !
❤️❤️❤️❤️💕💕💕💕
Anyone still listening in 1899 just me
Wow! Was that Art Cartney?!
FYI: Art Cartney was a fantastic Piano player, as well as a Comedian, Singer, Impersonator, and an Academy Award Best Actor Winner for Harry and Tonto; in fact, he beat out Jack Nicholson, Dustin Hoffman, Albert Finney, and Al Pacino to win this Oscar.
Como se llama la película?
What happened in the end? I'm a pianist and it's not normal to make mistakes like this.
He has problems in his hands due to late stage syphilis.
@@classicgameplay10specifically dementia as a result of syphilis’ third stage.
Who knew that Scott Joplin looked like Billie D. Williams? LOL!
What movie is this
Joplin
what's the name of this music
Ragtime.
Maple leaf rag
The last is The Entertainer
Lando!?
who knew he was a world-class composer and pianist!
why he stop playing
Madness
He developed Syphilis (as many did back then) and it affected his ability to perform. He died in his forties.
@@pbasoaltotI wouldn’t consider dementia as madness.
Did he mess up due to embarrassment that the piano was out of tune or did his hand cramp?
There’s a good but short review of his life, including his death at age 48, found on Wikipedia. You can get there simply by bingling his name.
I'm been playing the Entertainer and Maple Leaf all my life and although it looks like he's playing, he actually is no where close to the right notes/hand position. Maple Leaf was in Ab major and here he's playing in C major? Interesting way to fake your way thru.
Please refrain from misidentifying the pianist. This is from a movie, with an actor portraying Joplin. We are baited her, then switched by that falsehood.
it literally says "Scott Joplin 1977"
An actor? This is the great Billy Dee Williams!
OH REALLY??!?! I THOUGHT THEY FILMED THIS IN 1916!!!!
Did he get paid for all his brilliant work?
Yes.
Why do you post this as the composer performing? This is not Scott Joplin performing
In this movie it is.
It clearly is referencing a movie lol.
Bruh 🤦♂️
If you think about it, scott joplin is like the 2pac of today
I'm going to be that person
This film had around a 99% black cast.....in 1977.....just saying
Yeah because it was about black culture and a black musician during segregation. Films about the hood are 90% black too.
I believe he died of venereal disease.
He died at a very young age of a disease that was not curable back then but there is today. He was born at the wrong time.
Remember that disease was avoidable if you watched how you behaved. In other words, avoid sinful behaviour.
@@wolemai@wolemai, sometimes sinful behavior cannot be avoided. Otherwise, we all would be called Jesus Christ. If you are human, you will sin, even unintentionally and/or unconsciously.
@@wolemaiJoplin didn’t contract it is a sinful way, he wasn’t part of the sporting life…
Willfull sin IS something that can be avoided. Jesus spoke against that
The entertainer is one of my most cherished pieces that's why i hold great respect to its creator Scott Joplin ❤
