How is there not a crowd gathered around this performance? This is excellent. There are times where he makes some mistakes but he plays right on through without batting an eye. This has to be a DIFFICULT song to play
This song isn't very easy to play. I learned how to play it when I was eighteen. If I had lessons. I could have played it when I was younger. He did a good job.
You do have a very few weak spots that you need to work on. It's best not to play the entire song. But just focus on where they are and practice those until you can do it properly. I've played that song for 19 years. Yet I've played the piano for 22. So just slow down while you play the song. After you have worked on that. Then you'll play it perfectly.
@@MrCrowebobby That's true, it happens to me even if I know how to play a song perfectly. Such as that one, Nocturne in Eb, Fur Elise, Moonlight Sonata, My Hear Will Go On. I get a little nervous playing in public. I don't do so very often. I've never had lessons. I'm 37 yet played since I was 14.
@@kennethwood88 I would give ten years of my to have been able to play really well by ear. And at 82, I haven't got much more than 10 left. I could read music on a simple level and could hear great improvisation, but couldn't find anything on the keyboard without the sheet music.
Meanwhile I'm sitting here working out daily waiting to get a contract from a club and play in the champions league and no body is supporting me yet WOW 👌👌
@@DeborahE7 Lmao, if he plays this good, he would keep playing better. Being pianist for 8 years since 14y, still play everyday finding new inspiration on Internet, new song. Maybe new life, perhaps. P.S. I am actually an pianoholic
STC He played very impressively and you should be supportive of his and others people’s accomplishments, not putting them down. He may not be a genius, but that certainly does not mean he isn’t a pianist. Get out of here with your elitist BS.
Fantastic! My mom bought me the sound track when I was nine. I’m about to turn fifty five and still love that record!! This young man is absolutely wonderful!!
How can folk walk bye this laddie playing a cracking good tune and making a excellent job of it. I think at least half the earth's population are tone deaf, who only appreciate over loud beat and rhythm tuneless dirge noise. Thank you very much son.
People have lives to live, places they have to be, appointments to keep, children to take care of...just because they have to keep moving doesn't mean they don't hear or appreciate what's around them. None of us knows what anyone else has going on in their life.
While Joyce is right about people having places to go, you're also right that people have no interest in public playing. I don't think you've gone far enough though, I'd imagine only one percent of people in the world are musically competent, and usually if you're not musically competent youre not likely to appreciate it.
It honestly kind of astounds me that so few people stopped to appreciate the music for a moment. I get that most in an airport are in a hurry, but if you're not, why would you not at least take a second.
Yeah, I sort of was astounded by that, too. I have been to that airport for connecting flights several times and I always stop if I have a couple minutes or more to listen and throw a 5$ bill into the collection pot. These guys not only perform well at such a young age, they also do this in a public place where so FEW people can appreciate or do ever appreciate what they are doing. This guy is amazing at 13...imagine him at 18-20-30... I hope he's rich and famous by then, getting a good start in such a "hostile" rushed environment as an airport.
Kid could reach octaves at that age, friggin miracle! I started playing piano the same year at the same age and boy does this kid have everything I wish I had :(
I just learned the easy piano version of this but this is the original version which is much more difficult so major props to your son-he did a great job! Now time for me to learn the original version! Wish me luck!
'm 11 and I self taught myself this piece. I played piano for 7 years. It's easier than it looks trust me. I've trained 4 years on octaves so I coud play this song. One day I had a recital and I heard this song and he looked older than me and ever since I always wanted to be younger than him and play this piece
My favorite pianist! I love that you're trying different styles and genres! Ragtime is very precise which makes it difficult to master. Learn the Maple Leaf Rag, also by Scott Joplin. Learn to play it slow, then once you're comfortable with it you can pick up the pace. Great job as always!
Raymond Santoro I just finished learning maple leaf rag and it’s a pain in my ass. It’s so hard for me especially those left hand jumps in the middle, so good luck!
when he tries to play rag time he will master it. as he already playes like a pro. I am still learning to play it. I am still a student. playing the organ. soon to be 20 yearsnext January.
Paul Johnson Thanks for the advice. I already only talk to friends who encourage my progress. I only focus on my furture whether it be music, martial arts, or school
You could sense a fear of anxiety BUT once relaxed it turned into a ball of fun. I'm the exact same way when I perform in public areas. There's a lot of talent there and it's being used for joy.
This is one of my all time favorite piano tunes, and you do it SO WELL. And watching you play it makes it all the better. I've watched this video at least a dozen times and never tire of it. Thanks, Evan!
Where airport patrons can feel like they are at an old western saloon; instead of the drudgery of a modern day airport. Good dynamics in your playing young man; whoever is your father should be proud of you. I bumped into this by mistake, and enjoyed it in full.
OUTSTANDING!!!!!!!! BRAVO!!!!!!! WOW!! I can't believe how good you played this song!! I never heard the extended part before and I am totally going to spend my life trying to learn it! Great job!! If you lived with me I would make you play all the time!! Unreal!! I didn't hear any mistakes at all except the slow start but who cares that was AMAZING!!!!!!! You weren't even nervous and if you were you couldn't tell!! Fantastic! STANDING OVATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good recovery in various spots. I’ve been playing ragtime since I was eleven (seventeen now) and I know how it is. :) I would say you play that piece better than I did at that age overall. Keep it up, the old music is too good to lose.
This piece has been a dream for me to play since when I was a child. One year ago i watched this video full of envy (good one) i started taking lessons and now i can play more than half of it. Congratulations for your performance and thanks for the inspiration.
OMG! I'm 14 now and I played that one or two years ago for a recital, so I must have been 13! what a coincidence. I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be faster though unless I played it completely wrong at my recital. And I can feel you with those mistakes on the left hand. THE JUMPS, It's one of the first pieces that really challenged me, even Alla Turca wasn't this bad. But get it faster and it'll be great. You'll probably improve a lot after this, I'm learning Fantasie Impromptu at the moment, and I'm just chilling on yt instead of practicing, I wish you the best.
Most people play it fast despite the fact that Joplin actually wrote on the original score 'NOT FAST'. This lad is slightly on the fast side of perfect.
I love his composure, his right speed, his precision and calm in complex parts. He looks cool and determined and delivers a very convincing performance even considering some small errors, which add to the charme!
I learned a long time ago if you don't let on that you made a mistake, not many people will know unless they just know the music being played. Very professional, great recovery. Well done!
@@fartingisnatural6996 Ragtime is such an artform that i just cant listen to much "jazz" I just like classical and ragtime. To me playing by the rules are so valuable, Having fun doesn't apply to me in music.
Lmfao did you know most babies that are imagrants learn 3 languages at age 4 and under like this isn’t that special it’s a slow easy song compared to other classic that are fast paced for real dude calm down

You'd honestly think that people were programmed to walk on by if anything entertaining that smacks of the good old days encroaches into the public square. As someone who travels every now and then, this performance of The Entertainer would have given weary old me a huge lift, even a spring in my step. Who needs coffee? Any top live performance of this tune would be an opportunity to stop and savour it, if one could. But here! I think most people wander around with their accursed headphones on listening to rap. Bring back the good old tunes. Please! And very well done, young man. Keep playing that piece. It's a sliver of civilisation.
This young man is quite an accomplished pianist at such a young age!! It takes hours of practice every single day to become that good!! Nicely done!! 👍🏻
Zavier “Yeah like how many 13 year olds do you know that are independently wealthy playing their heart out in a airport and I’m sure he will gladly take more than just change usually people put in bills anyway?”....
My grandfather used to play this. One of the things I remember before he died (I was young and was before my siblings were thought of) I learned to play it for my dad. Such a great thing we share. Our ringtones for each other is The Entertainer
I hope i get to be like him one day. Being in public making mistakes but keep going despite one or 2 wrong notes or some delay finding the keys. Man... being a perfectionist sucks... love this guy. Hes all i wish to become
Why would anyone give a dislike to this young man's public video performance? It was great, it probably entertained many people waiting in the airport and his performance made him happy, gave him confidence and probably inspired other people to put themselves out of their comfort zone to show their talent in public.
@@lakewackoMom I have listened to you playing this for the second time now., and apart from anything else, you have a very good touch on the piano, you don't thump at the keyboard or bash at the notes which in Ragtime is EXTREMELY important or it'd end up sounding like honky tonk music which ISN'T what ragtime should sound like. But as I said before, keep playing, hope you're got a good teacher/ coach. You can and will go far, with the right encouragement.
A bit of a shaky start, but pretty smooth after that. Some understandable bum notes, but a really nice steady pace. So many people rush ragtime. Playing for random strangers is never easy either. I've just started learning this after not mastering maple leaf to any stretch of the imagination, and I struggle with just the intro, so props to this young man. Well done 👍
I am learning this now, two days of practice and I can just about manage the first few bars lol. This kid is really good. Such a shame people cannot stop for five minutes to listen.
He definitely needs to practice dynamics and he missed a few notes here and there, but over all he is pretty good. Keep practicing, kid! You'll get even better. 😊
I enjoy this music no matter who plays it. You are just 13 years of age? It' s a very good job!. I learned this music when I was taking a piano lesson at Torrance, Ca adult school a several years ago. Thank you for playing the Entertainer.
Well done!!! Coming from a family of musicians, this was amazing to watch!! He reminds me so much of my brother when he was that age. Keep on playing!! What a wonderful gift to share with the world. 🥰❤
Wow!
This kids got more talent in his little finger than I have in my entire body, I hope he keeps at it.

How is there not a crowd gathered around this performance? This is excellent. There are times where he makes some mistakes but he plays right on through without batting an eye. This has to be a DIFFICULT song to play
i can play the whole song but its incredibly difficult. I can only do it slowed down for now
You can see in the background the cafeteria people are definitely listening, especially the older people.
True i was just thinking bout that in the start of the rhythm
It is, I just started practicing this song, so Im at the iconic riff part, it's the easier version of the song though
It is difficult, especially if you have smaller hands. But like anything, practice makes perfect. He did a really good job
nicely done... does he get the money in the Glass... I hope so.
Thanks. Tips go to college fund!

If I close my eyes, I'm hearing Marvin Hamlisch. Keep it up kid, you're doing great.
When you are famous, someone will find this video and share it with the world!
Loved this movie back in the day. The Entertainer 😊
NICE one son,
A few little rough patches, but overall a nice sensitive and very talented performance. You go! you've got it ALL there, Well done.
Thank you.

I have listened to you playing this for the second time now., and apart from anything else, you have a very good touch on the piano, you don't thump at the keyboard or bash at the notes which in Ragtime is EXTREMELY important or it'd end up sounding like honky tonk music which ISN'T what ragtime should sound like. But as I said before, keep playing, hope you're got a good teacher/ coach. You can and will go far, with the right encouragement.
a sensitive and truthful - remaining true to the ^composition - interpretation of this ragtime classic.
really enjoying this ....
The sad thing is nobody clapped. Shame on the audience, but well done young man. 👏👏👏
Rob Gresty everybody is in a hurry my friend
@@rassstinson6882 That's the problem - people are in a hurry to go nowhere.
This song always makes me smile
A bit of a shaky start, but pretty smooth after that. Some understandable bum notes, but a really nice steady pace. So many people rush ragtime. Playing for random strangers is never easy either. I've just started learning this after not mastering maple leaf to any stretch of the imagination, and I struggle with just the intro, so props to this young man. Well done 👍
JUDGE NOT LEST YE BE JUDGED
It's an outstanding piano performance, I want to watch and listen to it over and over again
Fantástico!
Excellent job, I am sure you are getting better and better as the years go on !
Well done... 👏👍😊
Thanks Gary.
I am learning this now, two days of practice and I can just about manage the first few bars lol. This kid is really good. Such a shame people cannot stop for five minutes to listen.
He definitely needs to practice dynamics and he missed a few notes here and there, but over all he is pretty good. Keep practicing, kid! You'll get even better. 😊
Yes one or two bum notes but overall great playing.
Nigga shut the fuck up
@@greg7081 I love you nigga
Uh yeah I'm never looking into comment sections again
If I didn’t know any better, I’d say that his eyes were shut the whole time. These are DEFINITELY the kinds of Gen-Z’ers we need more of!
This kids slayin more honeys than a damn bee hive
I doubt that very much though he sure is cute.
I enjoy this music no matter who plays it. You are just 13 years of age? It' s a very good job!.
I learned this music when I was taking a piano lesson at Torrance, Ca adult school a several years ago.
Thank you for playing the Entertainer.
Not an easy piece to play. Ragtime really makes you develop your hand independence.
Well done!!! Coming from a family of musicians, this was amazing to watch!! He reminds me so much of my brother when he was that age. Keep on playing!! What a wonderful gift to share with the world. 🥰❤
