Is that right? Holy crap that's amazing!

I had the pleasure of meeting Eubie, and hearing him play. This film is just fantastic.

No the guy who got up is Scott Joplin who wrote the tune maple leaf rag and they planned ahead of time for his friend to play his song, you can see him give the head nod to begin playing and he would bow out on purpose so that the crowd can hear his music so he can gauge their reaction and possibly get a contract to sell that song. The white guy that walked up at the end ended up being the publisher who sold that song to the public and it became the first true American hit song called maple leaf rag. True piece of history that was embellished slightly in this scene.

@@Stewartaj2010 I just watched the full movie. It’s awesome isn’t it!!? :)

You know nothing about this do you?

I know right! Class act🎩✨🥂

Actually, Maple Leaf rag has been written by Louis Chauvin... 😉

@@luthervandross5681 Dam news to me but thankx 4 da info...good to learn somtin new bro..I'll look him up

@@superbadmofo1 you're welcome bro! I'm French ragtime fan, I'm sure at 99% for this information but maybe I'm wrong... 😂

@@superbadmofo1 Sorry bro I'm pretty sure to read this somewhere but I cant' find it... Louis Chauvin wrote 4 songs, and one of these is "Heliotrope Bouquet" co writed with Scott Joplin.. Really sorry for fake news... 😅

That was most likely the happiest Scott Joplin was in his entire life. 😢❤️

Brings Happy tears. I was born 90 years too soon . Smiling. Smiling . Smiling.

tim washburn I think you mean too late. Otherwise you’d be about 210 years old. 😂

Jay Leslie fortunately you don't

Go to Virginia City, Nevada. it is like this, an old ghost town, living Silver mining camp, legend-tourist trap, and is full of old buildings, Saloon pianos, Pipers Opera House, Mine tours and a whole lot of fun!!

Carl Johnson Why fortunately xD must be a typo

Jay Leslie I wish I was born in 1903 instead of 2003! Though I would have probably died between 1914-1918 or 1939-1945 because of the Wars. But during WW1 I would have had lots of fun because ragtime was still around!

If you were born in 1903 you would have been to young to serve in World War 1 but he Flu epidemic of 1918 might have got you.

Do you know what he plays at 6:40 ? (right before he plays Maple Leaf Rag)

Jacob Huber

I think they probably wrote the music for the movie, and they used musical elements from Joplin's style. Listen to A Breeze from Alabama for example, it's quite close.

It's a variation on a theme from the Poet & Peasant Overture by Suppe

(Old comments I know) but why is he is playing Joplins song 6:41 . I though that he is Joplin . XD

I thought of them too but realized the year, I believe was 1900, according to that flyer about the piano competition, so it couldn’t be them.

Rather, I think it was a salute to who would later become the Nicholas Brothers. A very nice salute to them, who when this music came out I think they were still alive.

I dont think thats joplin

It aint Joplin

It is poet and pheasant overture

What do you guys mean that isn't Joplin? It certainly isn't the guy who got cut out.

@@tristanbautista6100 it is joplin

Billy Dee the king of swagg. Luv them both... Clifton Davis sexy as hell too!

The roots of battle rap

Ragtime was definitely frowned upon lol

@Tamara Yasmine Chaves joplin died of that

Clifton Davis is Louis Chauvin. The king of swagg (Billy Dee)....my babe.

Ancestor Louis was born February 24, 1884. He possibly had sickle cell anemia.

E-flat. XD

Yes

Keys are for people who can't play REAL music! :P

@@almishti excuse me wtf?

Yo. y a mí me encanta Scott Joplin

Abraham Im we would if he hadn’t died in his 20’s from syphilis. The bordellos ended up doing him in. But he was probably a better pure piano player than Joplin himself was.

The only one I know of by him is the heliotrope boquet

We do. But from the actor' playing him: Clifton Davis. He wrote this song: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f9ydpLyL15a2dqM.html

He died at age 27, but he did compose a number of rags. However, he didn't read or write sheet music, and he lived in the era before recorded sound, so all of them have been lost. But Scott Joplin took the theme from one of them and put them in one of his rags called "Heliotrope Bouquet," which lists both Joplin and Chauvin as the composers.

Then why joplin's gives up?

Carl Johnson I think he faked it for Chauvin to "win"

The part you mention at 6:14 and going to 6:23 is from "Poet and Peasant Overture". There are a lot of different-sounding segments in "Poet and Peasant Overture", but that part at 6:14 is definitely in there, too.

Doug19752533 1901

its just a base sequence in a flat i think

john doe what do you mean by base squence? Do you think you can give me the notes to it or a tutorial?

He meant to say bass sequence. If it's in B-flat like TacTundra said the bass notes should be Bb B C F. It sounds like the right hand might be playing octave F's in some sort of rhythm but I can't be sure because the audio isn't super clear, especially with the audience.

Bb Bdiminished Cminor7 F7 - it's called a timestep - a vamp to kill time, usually for some stage business

It seems to be an improvisation competition, people just go up and play, and if people aren't liking your music then the guy turns a cup over and you're out.

They have to outdo each other with licks, speed, key changes, whatever it takes. Sometimes thet did call and response, or imitation trying to play something the other couldn't.

David-Paul Norman Music I want to play this in real life

Not really.

@@thomashogan4908 Yeah he didn't really mind people playing it fast. I think he meant that we should never play it EXTREMLEY fast... but moderately fast is fine.

It was written by Joplin and just played by Louis (by ear from hearing Joplin)

The movie made.it seem that Chauvin was a better player than Joplin, even if Joplin himself wrote the music, so they partnered up so they couldn't lose.

​@@hengineer Chauvin was a better player, according to legend he was the best duelist in the era

He asked him if he has seen the movie "Chef"

“Who’s heard that music?”

+ValmisFilm I dug up all the internet and nowhere I found this movie, does somebody know where I can download it?

+PeopleCanFly23 It's called "Scott Joplin". Published by universal studios I think.

@@PeopleCanFly23 It is available on Amazon. The quality of the film is perfect.

Maple Leaf Rag

Maple leaf rag

That was Chauvin who played it, Joplin played a modified version of his Elite Syncopation and von Suppe’s Poet and Peasants Overture.

Lando Calrissian

Daisuke the Ninja The guy with the fedora or hat

awesoeCAMI That’s Clifton Davis. I wonder if he can actually play in real life.

Clifton Davis wrote "I Never Can Say Goodbye" for The Jackson 5, and yes, he played the piano before.

Can Billy Dee Williams play?

Idk

It was made for the film in pretty sure

Maple leaf rag

Chauvin is Clifton Davis

Scott Joplin. The movie.

He didn't know Louie would so that

He knew he was the better player. Joplin in the movie was more of a composer.

Joplin was a composer - what he really wanted was a contract with the old music publisher who was there. In the end it didn't matter to him who won, as long as the piece got played and the publisher liked it. Chauvin is a performer - he wants to win, entertain, and dazzle, and Joplin's exciting new piece was the best way to do that. It's a beautiful demonstration of a win-win in action. We realise that these two guys can achieve more by partnering up than they could by competing with each other.

I asked the same question. I didn't get a reply. I wish someone told us.

@@kingvideos3986 i'm too, lol. Nobody want to reply us

Same bro

@@daveiskilla1584 because nobody knows

On my channel I uploaded this scene and someone there made a midi of the first few songs and then the one that scott plays.

Back then 1 dollar had the buying power of 30 dollars today, so 100 dollars then would be about 3000 dollars today.

pepijn1231 im pretty certain the guy asks him to play poet and peasant overture in a flat

+pepijn1231 I did some research, and that song is sort of a mashup between a couple of songs (although I'm still not sure about the Poet and peasant overture). But the two songs are the Carolina Shout by James P. Johnson, and Little rock Getaway by Joe Sullivan.

Generation where medicine and life expectancy are better than in any other. Stop whining for nonsense man

Jeremy Peñaloza Actually life expectancy was better back then because of natural homemade food, and people working in nature to get their food, unlike today's food which is treated with chemicals. Also, no stressful life back then. Medicine wasn't really necessary unless you were an unlucky victim of any disease. Many people born in the era of ragtime (1890s-1920s) easily lived to their 90's or 100's. Today, people have complicated, more stressful lives today (which is bad for your health!). And we people don't work in nature because we don't have time to get food from natural resources. Hell, even my great-great-grandma was born in 1871 and died in 1968. My great-grandma was born in 1910 and died in 2007. My uncle's grandma who was born in the 1890s, lived to 101. So yeah, people's lifestyle was actually better back then. Most people didn't need medicine, neither psychological nor mental. I wish I was born in 1903 instead of 2003.

@@geliopouthapesei keep going kid

Chase Charleville omg why don't you believe me?! Now you KNOW about my great-grandparents, so STOP whining around that life expectancy has gotten better over the last century. Ok? It was higher in the past from my own perspective. I do not expect people born in the 21st century to live more than 40-50 years. I do not expect people born in the 1940s to live more than 80 years. But many people born in the 1920s or earlier will or have gotten to live to 90-100.

@@geliopouthapesei But people lived until like 30 or 40s.
