I love the facial expressions that Louis Chauvin and Scott Joplin give each other in the movie when it breaks into Maple Leaf Rag. And the fact that Joplin is played by Billy Dee Williams (Lando Calrissian) and Eubie Blake himself is in it is something I still cannot fathom after watching it for the first time almost 4 years ago.
1:40 Left handed guy was my favorite🤭 Seeing this transcription, it's pretty clear all the competitors had songs in mind they wanted to perform and improvise on, thanks for the video!
@@SQUAREHEADSAM1912 There are a lot of syncopated rhythms in this arrangement which is the main core of what ragtime is. So this, in fact, is actual ragtime music.
@@LouFlos indeed it is ragtime but I’m referring to melody and harmony as well as few others, but this isn’t true to the form. ragtime wasn’t honkey tonk, it was classically written, composers were usually classically trained etc. just listen to Rifkin’s performances of Joplin, it’s very professional. They’re agreed upon the community to be some of the most reliable depictions of rag. (Especially Joplin’s rags)
@@SQUAREHEADSAM1912 Ah, yes. I have his CD. But there is a sublime purity in the primitive side of ragtime as well. It's the mixture of classic and folk music that makes ragtime.
@@ianizer1 No it isnt. i listened Poet and Peasent Overture.Overture's a little short part is played by Scott Joplin's friend for a few seconds.Starts at 4:31
@@ianizer1 if there is no name to that specific part of the song then my guess is probably that it was just a small tiny improvisation or a short piano cue written for the film to fit the medley ragtime battle. But again, we probably may never know :’v
I tried playing along with the film but it was extremely difficult. So I just played to a tempo that would be comfortable and just a tiny bit challenging enough for others to learn and play.
@@betserv.1187no haha:’v all my musical knowledge came from books and purely by listening to music intently. I am currently on my way to becoming an orchestral conductor which is why I haven’t been able to upload many videos for a while:’v I’ll get back to it next year for sure;)
I knowww:’v this is like the 592849th comment about the issues with the visuals haha. I have learned from this annoying mistake and have fixed and improved the visuals for my videos after this particular one XD I’m thinking of re-uploading it to fix this problem but I’m not so sure :’v
@@LouFlos Sorry to annoy you with another comment! I did not realize there were many other people that had already notified you. Im subbing so I dont miss the re-upload!
3:56 We finally get to see “what he’s doin’ on dem’ keys”
Xd

that on top that Eubie knew Joplin
4:43 Hey ! That's some new kind of music 🎶
except that ragtime had already been around and published for several years at this point
3:56 "aRe yOU TRyin' tO bEaT mE?!!"👨🏿👹👹
Bro, Im living in the future. I can’t believe this video exists rn.
Oh my god, I was dreaming about a video like that, thanks to you, such a beautiful music!!
Glad you like it!

You are the same as me
You nailed it. Even the slamming at 2:50
Finally I have been looking for something like this for years so I can learn it
Amazing!!
3:23 my favorite part
Same lol
You must have worked so much on this
You have no idea:’v
Meanwhile the one armed guy comes in only to be stood up by Lois Chauvin then Scott Joplin steals the show.
Most beautiful ragtime
It’s primitive and basic. It’s not accurate to actual ragtime.

@@GavinLepleyindeed it is :)
Nice style the ragtime
Awesome!
Yeah true
hey what key, what key
Amazing the best
Would there anyway this could be put on a midi file? I would gladly pay. I want it for use on my player piano.
Already available on my patreon;)

How about arranging "Kyu-kurarin" next?
That’s some dinin’ in music!
Niceee
Indeed the best version I could find on YT.
3:24 song name ?
I am also searching for it as well😅
From the uploader replying to another comment asking the same thing: "I believe it’s a short arrangement of Suppé’s 'Poet and Peasant Overture.'"
@@ianizer1 No it isnt. i listened Poet and Peasent Overture.Overture's a little short part is played by Scott Joplin's friend for a few seconds.Starts at 4:31
@@EMIRHAN-zk5rv Oh dang! I listened to it too just now and couldn't find the part either. The search for the song continues...

3:25 How this piece is called?
I believe it’s a short arrangement of Suppé’s “Poet and Peasant Overture”
@@LouFlos ok thanks fellow
GREATGREAT
1:32 the bass is too good
very nice 👍
This is great! The effects make it hard to see all the notes though.
I knowww it’s something I regret adding everyday haha!
@@LouFlos all good, we gotta make mistakes to learn from them!
perfect! can i get the midi file?
Currently working on having midi files for everything soon;) patience

Did you play along with the original film so this is synchronized or did you just transcribe and hand play the midi to a metronome click?
I tried playing along with the film but it was extremely difficult. So I just played to a tempo that would be comfortable and just a tiny bit challenging enough for others to learn and play.
@@LouFlos Ah I see, nice! The results are great!
someone know the song name at 4:31 ??
i think it is a modified version of poet and peasand overture, but idk maybe it is just a part of the cutting contest.
Maple leaf rag
Hola excelente transcripcion 🎉🎉😊 vendes el MIDI??
Ya disponible en mi patreon;)

Did you get those music sheets from somewhere? or you got it from listening by ear?
All by ear:)
@@LouFlos Wow! you must be a very talented musician. Did you major in music (piano) at an academic institution?
@@betserv.1187no haha:’v all my musical knowledge came from books and purely by listening to music intently. I am currently on my way to becoming an orchestral conductor which is why I haven’t been able to upload many videos for a while:’v I’ll get back to it next year for sure;)
@@LouFlos are you a perfect pitch?
@ I have “relative” pitch if that counts XD
"what key u in?😩"
Awesome! Id prefer it without the smoke/flames. It makes it harder to see what is being played
