O actually I'm pretty sure it's just called Maple Leaf on the piano because the screen is too small to add the Rag part. I would edit if I could but I'm using Silk so everything sucks And I don't wanna delete
Mad respect to this man for playing most songs on his channel while staring at the camera. He doesn’t look at his hands for most and he doesn’t have music. Wow.
I'm an old punk rocker who never grew out of it. I'm 62 now and the Ramones are still my go-to band but damn me I could listen to Scott Joplin all day long.
I love the tone of this piano for the these songs. They most likely would have been written and played on uprights, so they sound so “natural” on this instrument.
Olorinlemaiar I did know some of his works, but honestly, I never knew about him. Thats why I do like Vinheteiro, so I‘m finally able to recognize Scott Joplin for his work.
He was actually very popular during his day, his maple leaf rag was a really big hit. Ragtime was by far the most popular American musical genre at the beginning of the 20th century and Joplin was very much involved. However, towards the end of Joplin’s life in 1917, he went pretty much broke, I think, and died to syphilis. It was kind of sad, but he really was appreciated.
@@eliasnewton6732 Yes, ragtime and his pieces were popular, but he didn't earn much from it, and was never really considered a "serious" composer at the time. (lets face it, being black was a handicap). If I recall correctly his music faded away quickly at his death before someone used The Entertainer on a movie or something 70 years later, which made his name resurfaced and he then won posthumus awards and recognition.
This specific video is pretty clearly not meant for an American audience. Besides, he only translates titles to appeal to a global audience because it's universal content and there's little demand for it in Brazil.
I have been looking for 2 for more than 30 years. My father bought us a keyboard when were kids and that song was the demo. Good memories. Thank you, sir.
My mother started piano at age 6 and could read music before she could read. She would sit and play Rachmaninoff, And yet, she said ragtime was the hardest thing she ever played. Greetings from St. Louis; home of Scott Joplin.
It must have a reason why ragtime was played by non-professional musicians in about any bar. It's a wide spread of simple tunes, along with more advanced pieces.
This video isn't just for los gringos. Every person living outside the US and A has heard these songs somewhere so it is good that Lord Vinheteiro names them.
Lord Vinheteiro probably makes 100 times as much money on RU-vid as he could (or did) as a concert pianist. 6.56 million subs as of 2 years ago! That's worth some serious coin. He deserves it. Very entertaining videos.
I love that almost half of these songs are in the soundtrack of the movie "The Sting" starring Paul Newman and Robert Redford! Such an amazingly good, funny movie!
The difference is that we remember People like Mozart, Beethoven, Bach, Wagner, Tschaikowski, Vivaldi and and and .. And you remember your one Folk Songs .. I don't think that we can compare American Songs and European Classic Music. European classic music is culture. American songs are mostly .. you know .. shit.
Are they? Maybe it's because I grew up in a musical family, but Joplin was always the most recognizable ragtime artist to me. Certainly considered one of the best, if not the best
That's like the guy who wrote the lyrics of "Danny Boy". He was an English lawyer who never set foot in Ireland, yet a lot of people outside of Ireland consider his song to be the quintessential Irish folk song.
@That girl From what I know one of the artist went to a game after he wrote the song,He litteraly walk in halfway threw the game the annocer announced him and he left.
@@reillywalker195 The tune actually WAS Irish. Several sets of lyrics had been put to it before Danny Boy, but none of them were particularly appropriate to the sad feeling it evoked until this lyric. The Danny referred to was his son who had died at an early age.
@@reillywalker195 Similarly, Rodgers and Hammerstein had never been to Oklahoma when they wrote the score for the eponymous musical whose title song was eventually proclaimed as the official state song. I also don't believe that they'd ever been to Austria when they wrote "Edelweiss" from "The Sound of Music."
@@dulcimerrafi I think that only Americans think that Sound of Music is known in other countries. I've never heard it in Germany and the Austrians I know didn't know it either. So, it's kinda big saying it was 'adopted'.
There's two songs I've never heard. The Mexican Serenade and the Pineapple Rag. I also learned something. I've always known the Maple Leaf Rag and the Entertainer as a single song. I've only ever heard them played together and referred to as "The Entertainer". So, that's cool. I'm an American, btw. I grew up in Pennsylvania. :)
The "Mexican Serenade" is actually called "Solace." The best version I've ever heard is played by Joshua Rifkin. That and "Bethena" are the most beautiful slow pieces that Joplin wrote.
All four of the Scott Joplin songs were the movie the Sting. But the song you list as Mexican serenade, and the Sting listed simply ‘Solace’. I love Scott Joplin music! And because my love of Scott Joplin music, I have worn out at least one soundtrack of the Sting.
In 1896, Scott Joplin witnessed a staged train crash gone wrong known as the "crash at Crush". He wrote a song about it and the sheet music of it included instructions on how to use instruments to recreate the chugging of the train, the train whistle, the crash and falling debris, etc. The Brian Burns song also does a very good job of telling the story.
I'm an American and only one of those had I never heard before (Mexican Serenade). Only about half did I know the name of, though. You jazzed up most of them I noticed, I'm used to simpler renditions. That was the first time I'd heard Stars and Stripes Forever on piano and it's obvious why. It sounded hollow, having none of the gravitas I'm used to when it's performed by an orchestra or large band.
V bre “Vinheta” is the ADs in between TV shows and presentation normaly with music. “Vinheteiro” is a “vinheta” maker. I don’t know if it is exactly that but I guess so. At last it might be his nickname.. Greetingss from Brazil
How about: 10 Songs, guess the Composer: Scott Joplin --- ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xzpDzikeO-U.html James Scott --- ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rEeIX8lxxGM.html
Mozart was a genius but didnt get the full recogniton...was buried in a paupers grave...often the way with a lot of previous artists etc.. no real recogniton until after they died
He needs to be invited to a major league baseball game to play it during the 7th inning stretch. They can probably roll a piano out to the field for him to play it on. Or if he can play the organ, he can go to one of the few ballparks that still have organs (I know that Dodger Stadium has one because I was there this year and heard it) and play it in the organist's booth. That is, if the organist will let him.
@@rslitman an organ is a very different instrument from a piano. Just because he plays one of them it's by no means guaranteed that he can play the other.
Dude, you're a rock star! Loved the music, but.........the rags need to be played on your antique piano to give them that old fashioned wild west saloon song. Thanks for making me smile!
ZAttk not really. He looks at the camera when there aren’t many jumps and the rhythm is the same. He looks at the piano when there are jumps and the rhythm changes. Doesn’t mean one is harder or one is easier
I cannot thank you enough for this. Please put out this collection, fully orchestrated with, oh say, the Boston Pops, as an "album". It would remind people of what their heart already knows ~ what music really is supposed to be like. Just don't forget to bring in some of that most important people's contribution, people being, of course, Tony Sissle & Eubie Blake, Ragtime!!!
Its ment for people from other countrys just like his 9 russian/german/mexican/french songs youve herd but didnt know the name of were ment for us raised in the us

Ich kann Stundenlang zuschauen (zuhören) wie Du klavier spielst. Es ist was anderes. Toll, erfrischend. Ich habe schon ein Kommentar bei einem anderen Video geschrieben. Dagmar
The original title of the song was “One Horse Open Sleigh,” but that was changed to “Jingle Bells, or the One Horse Open Sleigh” when it was reprinted in 1859.
Well, anything that features American Music that you have heard and don't know the title of is going to be heavy on Joplin and Sousa and the Bernsteins. It must have been Joplin's turn. When I think of music in that category, I think of Sousa's "Liberty Bell" march
I knew six out of nine. In my defense, of the three I didn't know the names of, two I had never heard and one I knew by a different name. I always enjoy these videos. You make the piano come alive!
Fun Fact: Jingle Bells was originally written as a Thanksgiving song, but later changed to a Christmas song. There. Just another random fact taking up space in your brain.
Well, I'm American, but know some of those themes just because of cartoon TV shows, because I'm from South America, not from United States (America is a continent, not a country)
Leonardo Enrique Godoy Silva in English there is no other convenient term for a citizen of the United States. United Statesian? American is the only term I’m aware of
@@Rukion09 no you are not american. You just live in south america....... American is a term refering to the people of the united states of america. I cant believe you actually believe what you said..... smh
We gotta hear this guy's version of Chopsticks. Liberace did a very fancy version of it on the Muppet Show, but I would love to hear the way this pianist interprets it.
Knew all but Mexican Serenade. Actually I watched this because I get a kick out of watching him play while looking away from the piano and at the camera with that deadpan expression. Love the three Joplin tunes.
Really I did not know keyboards could sing songs. But all jokes aside I am still learning Entertainer and I have found it is not as easy as it looks. I just recently learned Maple leaf rag and can play it pretty well, and I am used to being able to feel where my right hand is on the keyboard easily since Maple leaf is in the key of A-flat so there are a lot of black keys that I can use as a point of reference but I do not have that luxury with Entertainer since it is in C major. But I have not been playing for very long so I just need to be patient
Nice. 4 songs from The Sting (1973). My brother took piano lessons in 1972. You know, chords etc. Then watched The Sting and mastered Ragtime and other Piano music. Got so proficient that he could play sheet music upside down.
Chris L Yh but to the rest of the world that shot isn’t known. I didn’t know jingle bells was American, I thought it just existed. This video was the same as the German one to me
