yeah without a piano it would suck, i agree

@@jacobjan 🤣🤣🤣

This song just wouldn't sound right on a concert grand.

Totally agree!

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

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.

Thats odd man kkk

Lol...that's was hilarious and true.

If you play it at 1.5x speed then I totally agree XD

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.

Lol

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.

He is one of my faves!

Absolutely - have you heard Solace on the Fingerbreaker album?

@@leifvejby8023 das werde ich mir gleich anhören. Danke für den Tipp!

There’s one at 1:55, so he’s human at least.

@@Tentin.Quarantino hahaha you're so mean tho

@@Tentin.Quarantino, I can barely hear the mess up.

I heard just one in the entire piece. And this is extraordinarily difficult

And that is Mozart😂😂😂

😂😂😂

"got someone else" roflmao

lol

Your profile pic just doesn't fit.

Sad but true

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

Brendan Swords lol

he is playing a piano from the 1900s duh

1915, more specifically.

Me Too！

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.

Hey , I’m here at home listening and enjoying this Rag , and having a bourbon on the rocks!😊

If you ever play a single song enough, like when practicing, it becomes muscle memory. Your hands just seem to know where to go.

@@JasonWise and then after a few years you completely forget most of it apart from the one phrase that you played literally a billion times

@@ragminka Unless you play through it every now and then. Concert pianists often keep their repetoire polished.

iamrag45 This is too accurate.

all of them

He’s one of the most popular American pianists of all time, but for some reason, the African-American community doesn’t seem to be aware of him for the most part.

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.

@@lilpiccolo6519 - I'm envious. I never learned to play musical instruments, so any feat of mastery such as this looks miraculous to me.

keith montgomery it’s never to late to try my dude

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.

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:)

Who dares? WTF

Pine pineapple apple rag 🤣

Bobby Everette me too!!!!

That's amazing congrats!!

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.

"Superb" fancy katherine over here lol

I’m glad he is bLESsEd bY GOd. He should’ve not practiced the piano for years then and really instead should of been praying.

Ian Kuzola chill

@@fuzzykoala6168 You’re missing the point. Even with practice, you have to have a base level aptitude for music, and able to have the resources to get lessons. Its not either/or, it’s both

@@ewanawanga all I was saying was not to take away from the pianist skill by saying it’s from god

Are you from 1915?

No, but during my childhood I used to listen to ragtime with vinyl records.

@@paumasabad1449 Wow! Are they still with you?

The " obrigado" was really nice from your part. ;)

@@gabrielneves1970 kkkkkk

@@gabrielneves1970 é br kkkk

That explains it! He DOES stare like he's a painting! 😉

Akshay Gowrishankar if you can play it slow

Bacon Doggo you can play it fast

I wonder if he has some records of his playing on iTunes or Amazon? He’s just brilliant.

Okay, Mr. Russian.

ChrisGeez nobody remembers. But this is a song from the sting! You are the first to mention. It is my favorite!

Love that movie!

Only song that reminds me of that movie is "The Entertainer"

Rubs finger across the nose as you pass by Paul Newman.

ChrisGeez Naa, but it does bring back memories of my past life from the turn of the last Century....

Try playing it at 1.5x speed. Thank me later.

07 B Vaishnavi Pandey No thanks bro, no thanks :)

@@mrexe7944 1.25 seems about right (maybe a tad too fast, even), will try to figure out the respective tempo Edit: so, it appears Joplin included the tempo of 100 on the sheet music (unlike later works). You probably already knew that, but I never did any research before past his inexact “rags hould not be played fast” (I paraphrased) quote. I need to count the tempos for 1x, 1.25x and 1.5x speeds for this video.

Hahah ik vroeg me altijd al af of The Maple Leaf Rag in een game was gestopt 😁

@@itsRemco Jaaa kijk maar hier...kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e5iKnJmmybuZcnk.html heel mooi gedaan ook nog, op die geweldige SID chip van de Commodore64, met maar 64K Ram geheugen.. 4k voor de muziek.. geweldig voor 1984..

@@juantarctica Thanks for share! Ja de Software Engineers van toen moesten wel heel zuinig met het geheugen omgaan. Je hoort ook dat de Maple Leaf Rag niet volledig is hier maar leuk om te horen!

That explains it all :)

WOW

*Vinheteiro is Mozart reincarnated!???*

Wtf?! That’s a …………….pretty solid theory actually.

Do we call this HIP (historically informed performance)?

Just when you think you escaped The Lord's stare...

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 Thanks, man. I'll look for it.

@@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 :)

That’s because Mario music is directly inspired by ragtime. If you play the Super Mario World song slowly, it’s just a normal ragtime song.

Muy acertado tu comentario 😊, gracias por disfrutar todas estás bellas melodías!🎉

It will be a pleasure!

​@@Lord_Vinheteiro wait, why so straight? no joke?
