yeah, but... he needed to be standing up to see Joplin give him the cue over the top of the pianos. So he didn't need the stool immediately. But, your point is good
Thank you!! I love how they did that!!! It was a cocky moment turned fund that showed that the opponent had class!! This just shows tension without things getting toxic! Just talented pianists loving it and in it for the pure sportsmanship!
As a pianist that plays this song, I only wish they had the hands playing this accurately because the bass part in Maple Leaf Rag at this tempo is truly awesome to watch!
Eubie Blake was on Carson's Tonight Show a couple of times. At over 90 Carson asked if he was married and Blake said, "Not any more; I done wore out 3 wives already." Classic.
There was a CD back in the 80’s that used original piano rolls Joplin cut for a player piano. A few years later there was a similar disc that used piano rolls George Gershwin cut the difference was the rolls were fed into a Fairlight CMI keyboard so the sound quality was better
It's all compositions of Scott Joplin who created Ragtime."Ragtime, also spelled rag-time or rag time, is a musical style that had its peak from the 1890s to 1910s. Its cardinal trait is its syncopated or "ragged" rhythm. Ragtime was popularized during the early 20th century by composers such as Scott Joplin, James Scott and Joseph Lamb. Ragtime pieces (often called "rags") are typically composed for and performed on piano". Some of his pieces are The Maple Leaf Rag, Stoptime Rag , and The Ragtime Dance.
Not necessarily all of Joplin's compositions to lead to the creation of Ragtime! 🤭 In fact, Ragtime had already existed well before Joplin's time. 😌 He just so happened to be one of the biggest individuals to popularize it to what it has become today.
Yup, you’re correct. My grandpa helped me “fine tune” my perfect pitch by asking me what key the music was in when we’d go on drives. Scott Joplin’s greatest hits just happened to be one of those albums. Definitely helped me later on with my music studies, and serves as a neat party trick!
what a fantastic time for music. the energy is heavenly. sadly the social matters were evil (and still are). but musically speaking, this is amazing. respect to all and great to see the great eubie blake
Played keyboard since I was 7 years old. Mom played like this. We played trombone with my sister too. Rose Bowl Parade, several Rams games.. played with the radio. Tada!
@@OwnFall420 It's thanks to the film roll, it has an absurd quality, but at the time video devices couldn't reproduce it. But today we do, so we even have the first Star Wars in HD. Hope you enjoy my long explanation 😅

For the real thing watch Fats Waller playing Ain't Misbehavin'...I think a lot of this is based on that piece of film, including the man's rejection early in the video.

Scott Joplin never would have played Maple Leaf Rag at that tempo. In fact, the original sheet music has his specific instruction on it “Ragtime should never be played fast”.
Moments of elation and ecstasy to contrast with repression, horror, tragedy. Similar to musicians entertaining while the Titanic as sinking or people being escorted to the gas chambers at Auschwitz. My favorite is Hitchcock's Sabotage where the mother joins in the laughter during the cartoon just after her child is incinerated.
The power of human resilience. It's a lot more common than you think back then, unlike how these days people prefer to hole themselves in their room and film themselves having mental breakdowns.
Yeah I thought so, some other comments said it, but I listened through various different versions and didn't find the part that he played in the scene, and that's what I'm really after. @@farescasillasprasojo1125

Eubie Blake (1887-1983), the last ragtime composer from the ragtime era, is the older gentleman who turns the glasses upside down.
Yep he invented the “Charleston Rag “ I believe
So cool to see someone from Joplin’s time and profession living and breathing on video.
I was able to see Eubie Blake live!!
WAW!!!! I am jealous. I saw him, on TV, being interviewed for his 100th birthday shortly before he died.

I love how the bowler hat guy both teases his opponents and has enough sportsmanship and respect to pick the stool back up for the other guy.

I like how ragtime is portrayed fun and edgy on this clip, nowadays ragtime often seen as something nostalgic and somewhat high toned.
The rock of their times.
Makes you think about how what we listen today will be seen as in a century from now, doesn't it?
this pretty much the rap battles at the time
Awesome scene. As a pianist, though, I can tell you they’re definitely not playing anything close this this😂
i'm surprised there is ppl still viewing this at 61k views
This this
Just imagine you are one of the actors there pretending as if there's actually a jolly music being played lol
For some reason I got the same feeling when watching their hands. Then your comment confirmed my doubt. 😁 I play piano also.
I agree
As a pianist that plays this song, I only wish they had the hands playing this accurately because the bass part in Maple Leaf Rag at this tempo is truly awesome to watch!
wdym accurately. They aren't even playing the piano properly.
@@Condomjanim_Satanyahu Sadly you are correct. I mean, I wish people could see the real baseline on this song cuz it rocks.
If you want to see very good Maple leaf left hand check out Tom Briar, he's a true humble talent. Enjoy 🤙
How fun it would've been to be able to be at a night like this at this time! The atmosphere had to be pure bliss!! ✨️✨️
Cameos by Eubie Blake, the greatest living ragtime legend at the time of filming!
Yeah. He was a big deal here in Baltimore. A living connection to a time long gone.
The author of I'm Just Wild About Harry...love Eubie Blake!!!
Harry Conick Jr. played with and studied with Eubie Blake.
Eubie Blake was on Carson's Tonight Show a couple of times. At over 90 Carson asked if he was married and Blake said, "Not any more; I done wore out 3 wives already." Classic.
I was playing this music as a 15 year old in 1977, but am only just now learning about this movie! I’d have been thrilled to see it then!
But he created it .. (i play it as well ..on guitar.
WELL I'LL BE
FINALLY A HQ VERSION OF THIS SCENE! I REMEMBER THIS FROM LIKE 9 YEARS AGO, AND NOW IT BEING PRESERVED IS AN ABSOLUTE W
It's amazing how the tune changes noticeably once Scott chips in to be more lively
6:26 that man makes the same laughing movements during the entire scene 😂
Billy Dee Williams performed an excelent Scott Joplin 👏
In the late 1980s I got Mr Joplin's tunes on midi on the Atari ST. I loved playing all his tunes and he was a genius piano player.

They thought that syncopated ryhthms would make people crazy by the way it effected the brain. They were right! Its so fun! 🐭
2:54 when he opened his eyes like that, i felt his true concern
FYI he played what he was asked to play in B flat, not in A flat. Then he played Maple Leaf Rag in A flat of course.
Exactly
Of course
Which is Poet and Peasant overture by Suppe (b flat is the original key )
I struggle with key names and notes and relations. Cb, B#, etc...
I've been called a "Jailhouse Singer". Behind a few bars hunting for a key.
Yup, you’re correct. My grandpa helped me “fine tune” my perfect pitch by asking me what key the music was in when we’d go on drives. Scott Joplin’s greatest hits just happened to be one of those albums. Definitely helped me later on with my music studies, and serves as a neat party trick!
Scott Joplin is 9 of Hearts ❤️💕💗💗💗💗💗💗💗 Happy Birthday to Scott Joplin the King 👑 of Ragtime and Merry Christmas 🎄🎁 Blessings and Hugs 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
There was something so wholesome about this scene, I ended up smiling and dancing with them 😌
And this is how Lando lost the Millennium Falcon to Han Solo.

The second to last player reminds me of Clarence Williams who played against 1900 in the movie The Legend of 1900.

Scott Joplin never would have played Maple Leaf Rag at that tempo. In fact, the original sheet music has his specific instruction on it “Ragtime should never be played fast”.
I'm so glad Lando Calrissian got his start by writing "Maple Leaf Rag"
Thiwas used as marioland 2 on gameboy. Now a all generation loves ragtime stride piano
So, this is what rap battles were like before...
Is there anywhere I can get a version of this song without the voices? Very fun piano piece
lovely.
It’s all about

How great true talent was back then...Even in the midst of segregation and lynchings😢
