Agree! Scott Joplin is so much about rhythm, timing and tempo. It takes a highly skilled musician to dare, because timing is everything in this music. This particular pianist is brilliant, solid as a rock, he nails every note perfectly and keeps up the good flow in a constant tempo, almost like a metronome. So much energy and so relaxing, all at the same time! I am deeply impressed!!
His legacy is very strange. He died young, and ragtime was mostly forgotten in the following decades, but then thanks to one album and a movie in the 1970s his music finally received the praise it deserved.
I have so much respect for this guy who knows by heart some of the most complicated pieces of music ever written and I didn’t even hear one bum note. Fantastic.
It wasn’t ragtime played in the Wild West as that only came in at the end of the 19th century. Westerns most frequently include that anachronism, though, but it’s most likely it was parlor songs or campfire songs played instead.
Scott Joplin had rather a sad life, and he died as a pauper. He worked as a pianist in brothels, and composed much of his music for sensuous dancing in the saloons. Many of his rags and waltzes were named after, or for, women who worked there. He soon caught syphilis, which caused him mental problems and an early death. He also wrote a couple of operettas, the first of which was lost, along with a number of other unpublished works, when he was evicted from his lodgings by an unpaid landlord. It's fascinating that his music lives on to inspire plenty people who have no idea about why the music was written, and who often rattle through it at more than twice the intended speed.
Thank you for playing this on the appropriate piano for us. The bounce, the lightness "one the toes," and the sound so well suited for a gathering of close friends brings us the atmosphere of the homes in which this music was such a freeing revelation. Thank you for understanding the complexity of the textures of history.
keith montgomery you’d be surprised by how easy it is to memorize a piece, (at least to me it is). I might just have a good memory, but I can play almost every single piece that I’ve ever played perfectly.
KGB Agent Yeah, it’s never too late. I began like a year ago and my professional concert pianist teacher told me it’s like I played piano for like 5 years! I guess that i’m a fast learner.
once you learn a piece, you don't need the sheet music. It's called muscle memory. You don't even have to look down most of the time because your fingers remember, that's why he is able to stare at us in these videos.
Superb sound...and most superb playing! As a pianist myself, I adore watching you perform! You are truly blessed by God. Thanks for keeping timing CORRECT!

Sweet! I almost said you were so lucky to get to play Joplin, but I hate it when someone sees me do something I slaved to improve at and acts like I was just lucky to be able to do it! So instead, awesome work, and enjoy the fruits of it. Someday I hope to have the time, equipment, and remaining dexterity to at least learn one just for the fun of playing it. It’s pretty fun to watch someone else play it, too, though. I love Joplin’s music.
Good sir, please know there is no limit to the gratitude and respect I have for the talent and gift you've been blessed with. I have tears of joy and happiness in my eyes to see and hear you share your talent with me and those who appreciate what you can do. Thank you for sharing your gift with us, and always know that you sir, make many of us happy with your talent. God bless you.
Excellent as usual! (Miss your icy stare!) The candles and their glow reflected on that glorious woodwork really add a lot to transport the viewers back in time. Thank you for this wonderful piece in its entirety! Loved listening and will undoubtedly be back for many more listeners to this!
The best piano on You Tube. The tone, the timbre, the candle light. It is sooooo good. And of course you play a great piece and play it beautifully, and we love you for that. But the PIANO!
Bravo! This is probably my favourite Scott Joplin ragtime piece and it sounds excellent on the old-time piano. Thank you for the upload and for playing the piece all the way through 👏👏👏
Before internet, before tv, before radio, there was a player and piano. If you had some means you had one in your house. If you didn't there was the bar. If you had less there was a church. It's funny how I have you playing on my big screen, with the occasional ad which helps pay you. My brusque piano man.
I know this is going to sound strange but...Vinheteiro is actually a vampire, the portrait in the background is him as a child in the 1600's and he was obviously bitten as an adult. Since vampires don't sleep...but they also can't go out during the day he uses that time to practice the piano in the dark (hence why he doesn't actually need to look at his hands). He also uses his hypnotic stare to order people to subscribe to his channel. It's safe to say that all this plus the amount of antiques littered around...it's pretty conclusive evidence of him being some form of hellspawn.
One of my favorite Scott Joplin tunes. Nothing like listening to an early 20th century composition on an early 20th century musical instrument. (I wish I could play the piano that good 😊).
I just have begun listening to these piano playing songs in the past week or so. Previously, I was only casually familiar with ragtime. Just today I recognized this song in a re-run of a 70's local TV channel's late-night comedy skit show. The skit had this as the background music played from a violin and flute (I think). It was shocking to recognize this song whereas before I would have been oblivious! In the skit a landlord was showing a precarious person seeking a room for rent. At the final highest 5th floor level, the room was $2 per day. When he settled in the room, he turned around and the whole back wall was gone - they made a skit from a building that was being demolished (Big Chuck and Li'l John, Cleveand, OH, USA). Great demonstration, BTW, and excellent playing.
Hopefully you’re already aware of the majestic Tom Brier and his astounding video game ragtime renditions. If not, look them up and marvel :) He did lots of Mario ones.
@@Thingfishy My God, I was watching him playing Yoshi Island's theme with other musicians and amazed not only by his playing but by how they were kinda discovering how a great music was composed for a videogame, and then I found out he suffered an accident and is not able to play the piano. That immediately brought me down. I really hope he gets better soon.
Thiago Oliveira I really hope so, too, it’s been over two years since the accident. Watch as much of Tom as you can, though, and keep the joy of his genius thriving :)
Superbe interprétation! La sonorité du piano donne un cachet particulier de l’époque durant laquelle le ragtime était un style très populaire. Si vous avez d’autres belles interprétations de rag à nous proposer, il ne faut pas hésiter. Je vous propose Chevy Chase de Eubie Blake. Il serait bien aussi de vous entendre jouer un peu de jazz du début du 20 siècle comme Jelly Roll Morton, cela serait magique. Il a fait de magnifiques piano solo.
If you want to to play music of this era it makes sense to have a piano from the same period. That way you get authentic period tone as well as the tune. Brilliant work sir.
I love that song. You play it so well, first time I've seen someone play it - amazed how the left hand bounces around so much during some parts. Kudos!
the piano absolutely makes this 100x better.
yeah without a piano it would suck, i agree
@@jacobjan 🤣🤣🤣
This song just wouldn't sound right on a concert grand.

Yeah. Much easier to play with piano than without one.

@@leifvejby8023 das werde ich mir gleich anhören. Danke für den Tipp!
Thanks for playing the whole song instead of just a couple phrases.
Yes man this is beautiful.
Yes would be nice to have Vinheteiro perform a complete piece every now and then. Even if it's 1-2 times per year.
Would the term "bar" be more suited than "phrases"
It’s because Vinheteiro loves Rags.
Some people were complaining he didn't know to play full songs so he does just that to shut them up.
I have so much respect for this guy who knows by heart some of the most complicated pieces of music ever written and I didn’t even hear one bum note. Fantastic.
There’s one at 1:55, so he’s human at least.

Scott Joplin: the father of saloon bar fights

It wasn’t ragtime played in the Wild West as that only came in at the end of the 19th century. Westerns most frequently include that anachronism, though, but it’s most likely it was parlor songs or campfire songs played instead.

This piano sounds like an old saloon, thanks for this Scott Joplin's masterpiece.

Yup they're the motzart in the background
Forget about them. Either way in just a few more minutes you would get more likes than dislikes.
No body is perfect.....
Focus on the positive:)

Joplin has so many incredible songs. It's such a shame they aren't more popular.
Cool song, and the piano really adds the vintage sound

Yes. Without the piano there would be much less sound.
