The joy I felt the day I finally found Scott Joplins home/apartment in St Louis early 1980’s. A gentleman opened the door to us surprised to see visitors. He invited us in and I actually sat on Scott’s bench at Scott’s very old piano. He found my favorite of Mr. Joplins music called “Solace”. I will never forget that moment .
I am sooo jealous right now! Envy is now my middle name. But what can I do? I was ten back then so... ...this comment of yours should be so much higher that this! How ten year old M.R who played piano back then would have given anything to be in your shoes! Man! Here just take this W!
If I could revisit that moment again . The time I spent in Scott Joplins home is Forever etched in my memory ...surrounded in an atmosphere of genious and brilliance .
When you take two identical strings, tune them to the same note, then detune one of them very slightly it produces 'reverb' -- that's the way this piano is tuned, a Honky Tonk piano
Mick Kennedy Not reverb, dissonance. Old strings, worn out hammers, dampers, lack of maintenance, etc. creates the sound. A piano is like a car. It get worn with usage and age. Regular tuning is a must. Old beer soak saloons are not a good place for a large musical instrument.
@@keithhayes3600 Why do you think I put the word 'reverb' in quotes? -- and it was what he was talking about anyway. Musicians have known for years the trick of slightly detuning, particularly 2 rhythm guitars -- I used to do it many years ago when playing in bands, it enlivens the sound, makes it sound like 'stereo' -- cancellation of beats is what a piano tuner uses to perfectly tune paired strings, pianos, 12-string guitars, mandolins, bouzoukis

One of the best recording of The Entertainer I've ever heard! Low dynamics, as it should be. Not too fast. Quite regular tempo. Perfect execution. 5 stars!
Not too slow either - I have heard way too many pianists play this tune at a slow, very dragging pace, and have heard the evidence that Joplin himself played it at a nice clip. I think Vinheteiro does hit this perfectly - fast enough and not too fast, the perfect middle ground of speed that this song needs.
This song hits a very special chord for me. Growing up in the suburbs of Chicago and being poor, as a child, I remember my parents would save up all year to take us kids to the Six Flags Great America Amusement Park. When you walk into the park, there was a sprawling garden full of every color of flower you can imagine, a huge wishing pond and directly ahead, as a kid, looked like the biggest carousel ever created. There were stands serving fresh popcorn, cotton candy, you can hear the roar of crowds on the rollercoasters and I remember holding my parents hands, as excited as a kid can be. Throughout the park were speakers blaring old rag time music and I always remembered this song playing on the loudspeakers, smelling the popcorn and cotton candy, seeing all the bright flower colors, hearing laughter and screaming on all the rides. I sit here, crying, of how wonderous those moments in time were. Thanks for playing this song, a big fan of yours, but, this one really tugged at my soul.

My grandfather taught himself to play piano by ear starting with this song. He loved ragtime. We asked him yo play “Ragtime Daddy” when we’d visit as kids, lying on the floor as we watched his feet move under the baby grand. In the end, the cancer had taken most of his energy and he became too weak to play. The last time we saw him, he said he had just had a blood transfusion and was feeling great. We asked him to play The Entertainer (“Ragtime Daddy”) for us. I was in my 30s, but I lay on the floor and watched his feet, knowing it would be the last time, and crying the entire time. He died a couple months later, this piece playing his photo montage at his funeral. Every time I play, I remember sitting with him as he taught me. Every now and then, I will listen to this song and just remember him. Thank you for the great memories. ☮️💟
Hi. Beautiful story, you might like to know that you’re not just remembering your grandpa when you’re listening to this, but that you’re feeling him listening with you! Enjoy.
My daughter worked on this piece for months and months for talent night at school. She had learned the music from one teacher then moved on to another teacher with a totally different style. The new teacher didn’t like going back to a previously learned piece, but for this one she did. Your piano and this song are meant for each other. Your performance is the best!
I appreciate the proper playing speed. These we're not meant to be played fast. Kudos. Btw, The piano in which Joplin learned to play is sitting in our local museum. His hometown of Texarkana Tx/Ar
the multiple early player piano renditions you can find would seem to disagree with you. how could you possibly know this isn't meant to be played fast?
We had a piano like this in our front room when I was a kid candle holders as well, my dad used to play he all way's vamped with his left hand and played the melody with his right hand, I am now 78 thanks for the memory.
My dad plays organ and he’d play for us every night after dinner when I was a kid. This was one of my favorite songs he’d play. Thanks for bringing back some good memories - haven’t been able to visit him in a few months.
I think it would just be annoying and straining to play a whole piece with your head cocked like that. If you think about his other top ten type vids they are all takes
Thank you Vin, for helping bring a timeless classic back to relevance in such a visceral way. There's something so marvelous, mysterious and compelling about listening to period works performed on period instruments.

My grandmother just died recently (March 20), before her death since January I have been putting her music (mainly Rag) on the living room computer, she is blind and she spent most of it here in the living room in her rocking chair Favorite, this song being the main one that I put on for her, the first time she heard she came from her room to the living room asking who is playing the piano (there is an electric piano in the room) to which I answered that I had placed music , From that moment I began to place more on the opportunity that was presented, and now I only place it to remember her, with this story I want to tell the owner of the channel thank you very much for having touched and delighted my grandmother in her last 3 months of Life, I really appreciate your music and I will continue listening to this song to remember her with affection!
Can you even IMAGINE any individual having an understanding of the kind of impact they've had on any given industry... long after they've crossed beyond the void veil? 💪😎✌️ Reflection is key. 🐲✨🐲✨🐲✨
Thank you for a dynamite and accurate rendition of this Ragtime piece. Scott Joplin was a certifiable musical genius. To play his music this well, says volumes about your talent and prodigious command of the piano of any vintage.
Learned to play guitar in college. Graduated and started working at 21. My boss's wife was the church organist, and she gave piano lessons to kids. I took lessons from her weekly. Bought a Yamaha with first pay check. Every 6 months she had her students perform in a recital at her house. My piece was the Entertainer. I couldn't read music fast enough; so I just memorized it.

Most of them are slightly out of tune because people can't afford to have a tuner come in to tune it up. A lot of people like that sound too so just leave it.
Incredible execution of an amazing composition. Although Joplin is now highly regarded by many, he's still underrated..... dude was way ahead of his time.
Oh yeah? Is ragtime all the rage right now? Being ahead of your time means you weren't popular during your lifetime. Pretty sure Joplin was pretty big in the ragtime days. Just say he's underrated if that's what you meant
@@evertonpenguin2408 before he edited his comment he said arthur morgan instead of john marston and rdr2 took place in 1899 when arthur was alive and that was 3 years before this song
I love the sound of that piano. It sounds just exactly like the upright we had that I played whenever I was growing up. The new pianos just don’t have the correct sound on them - it’s like the new pianos are muffled. The old ones are best and you do a very good job. Thanks for sharing it with us.
I'm learning this song for a recital. This video is very helpful to learn small tips and tricks, such as the use of the pedal wasn't in the original Entertainer. This is the best version with the least mistakes I have found on TH-cam. Very well done!
Once you play a lot of songs your brain kinda understands how the songs works that makes you learn songs faster. I have been playing the guitar for some time and i can just hear the song and play it. I am not saying that he is not impressive tho
@@nerfwalid9568 piano is not like a guitar where you don't need sheet music. On a guitar, you know where your chords are, you know the patterns of where your scales are going to be and you can just improvise stuff without having to play solos note for note every time. On a piano, you're using your left hand to play bass notes and your right hand to play scales. I can't imagine how hard that must be to do without any sheet music to keep track of where you're supposed to be in the song. That's why you don't see a whole lot of pianists playing without sheet music, because it's not easy.
@@ADrunkBassist When playing piano, after playing the song so many times with the sheet music, you don't even need the sheet music anymore since your hands just subconsciously know which keys to press. Once you play a song so many times you start to memorize every note you're supposed to play
@@mr.mcnuggies i can't argue with that since I don't play piano myself. I was merely reflecting that guitar is a much easier instrument to learn because the chords and the scales are always the same shape once you learn them and because you don't have to use both hands to play notes, one hand for bass notes and one hand for higher pitches. To me, that would be much easier to do with sheet music whereas with a guitar, you don't necessarily even need a tab to learn a song.
No words!!!!!it's a transcending effect. What a musician you are Sir. May the Spirit bless those hands and mind. Thank you so very much for the joy you have given me just now
Well done. Scott Joplin was a genius his own time. Too bad the march structure of ragtime music didn't last, but it did inspire great music to come after. Thanks for playing it on a upright piano from the time period. Who ever refurbished it did a nice job.
The challenge is the syncopation. You have to completely separate the left hand from the right - Its in 2/4 (Cut time,). And Mr.. Joplin annotated each piece with "Not too fast" . It is really a dance form, used for the "Cake Walk" - not the "Cake run" . :-)
Honestly, kind of happy you didnt cut the mistakes and fumbles. Makes me feel less alone when I play. Whenever I hear performances, the pianist plays nearly perfectly and it weighs in at my own abilities.
Le grandi composizioni musicali sono incredibili. Sembrano avvolte da una magia tale che ogni nota appare perfetta lì dov'è in una sequenza che sembra appunto magica nel risultato. Mamma mia che menti creative e ispirate!!!
nottacop Same for me but my family had a Yamaha Clavinova Full-size Digital Piano. It was included as a random sound clip for the demo button across from the variations button. 😅
I haven’t heard The Entertainer for many years. Thank you. I’d love to have you as my music teacher but I think I’d drive you mad. That’s why listening to you, the gifted musician, is just so much fun. Thank you. Della
I love this played on that piano. There’s something about the way it’s slightly out of tune that just fits this piece. It’s so much better than on a modern totally tuned piano.
i am 50 something and have been playing since i was 4. these rag times, for me, were always the hardest. hats off to you! (i used to have a pic of Beethoven hanging by my piano. gave me inspiration.)
A wonderful version! One of my favorite tunes!!!! It does have that old-timey sound... I can practically smell the unique fragrance of an old piano--musty, with a tang from the strings....
4 out of 5 seniors would agree that if you want to have some nostalgistic fun, look up the 1973 movie, The Sting, with Robert Redford and Paul Newman. This tune was THE musical theme of that greatly entertaining caper/con film.
I noticed that Lord Vinheteiro paid full attention to his fingerings. It's clear he was so respectful of this masterpiece. And he played "not too fast", just how the Maestro would want it. Such an awesome play! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

This piano is extremely out of tune. Not slightly. Extremely.
This makes me feel like I'm doing whisky shots in a grimy New Orleans saloon in 1910. Just perfectly played, sir
I'll have an Aquavit, please. Cheers from Norway!
I was there last night
Yh like an old western bar fight
I love there and it's not like that anymore
Hardly
I've actually never heard the second half of this song before...

Fantastic for my single all time favorite piano piece. I think it is the best performance I have ever heard.
Incredible execution of an amazing composition. Although Joplin is now highly regarded by many, he's still underrated..... dude was way ahead of his time.
Oh yeah? Is ragtime all the rage right now? Being ahead of your time means you weren't popular during your lifetime. Pretty sure Joplin was pretty big in the ragtime days. Just say he's underrated if that's what you meant
@@SnoopyReads Ha, that's OK..... I'm fine with what I typed above. Thanks though.
@@Sasser2015 well then you're an idiot
@@Sasser2015it's probably a bot, or someone messing around.
It’s like the song has been reunited with its original partner, the piano.
I also love this man, he does a fabulous job on every song he plays.
John Marston: *punches and stabs everyone, blows heads and limbs of the bartender and customers and burns down the saloon.*
The pianist:
sorry to ruin ur joke but this song came out in 1902, three years after rdr2 took place 🤷
Joey Beckstead no problem at all. Just let’s imagine I’m playing the epilogue.
@@JP-297 ok fair enough
@@evertonpenguin2408 before he edited his comment he said arthur morgan instead of john marston and rdr2 took place in 1899 when arthur was alive and that was 3 years before this song
Joey Beckstead yeah
I love the sound of that piano. It sounds just exactly like the upright we had that I played whenever I was growing up. The new pianos just don’t have the correct sound on them - it’s like the new pianos are muffled. The old ones are best and you do a very good job. Thanks for sharing it with us.
I'm learning this song for a recital. This video is very helpful to learn small tips and tricks, such as the use of the pedal wasn't in the original Entertainer. This is the best version with the least mistakes I have found on TH-cam. Very well done!
I am too and im 10
He's doing mistake ?
Joshua Ritchie I’m thinking Scott Joplin wrote this song LONG before the movie “The Entertainer” was written and filmed.
@@tanya5322 Yes it was. The original song was written in 1902 whereas the movie was filmed in 1960.
Cant hear any mistakes.

I recall humming this to my great aunt, and played it by ear.must of been late 50's. Love it.
I'm just impressed by how this guy remembers the whole tune, and not just one tune!! Hundreds of them
Once you play a lot of songs your brain kinda understands how the songs works that makes you learn songs faster.
I have been playing the guitar for some time and i can just hear the song and play it.
I am not saying that he is not impressive tho
@@nerfwalid9568 piano is not like a guitar where you don't need sheet music. On a guitar, you know where your chords are, you know the patterns of where your scales are going to be and you can just improvise stuff without having to play solos note for note every time. On a piano, you're using your left hand to play bass notes and your right hand to play scales. I can't imagine how hard that must be to do without any sheet music to keep track of where you're supposed to be in the song. That's why you don't see a whole lot of pianists playing without sheet music, because it's not easy.
@@ADrunkBassist When playing piano, after playing the song so many times with the sheet music, you don't even need the sheet music anymore since your hands just subconsciously know which keys to press. Once you play a song so many times you start to memorize every note you're supposed to play
@@mr.mcnuggies i can't argue with that since I don't play piano myself. I was merely reflecting that guitar is a much easier instrument to learn because the chords and the scales are always the same shape once you learn them and because you don't have to use both hands to play notes, one hand for bass notes and one hand for higher pitches. To me, that would be much easier to do with sheet music whereas with a guitar, you don't necessarily even need a tab to learn a song.
Some people can sightread anything - others can't read music, but can play anything by ear.
I love the sound of the old Honky Tonk pianos, they were used in the old silent films, very nostalgic.

@@Gguyrules Indeed! I hope to someday get my hands on one, they are such a nice aesthetic to a home. 💕
No words!!!!!it's a transcending effect. What a musician you are Sir. May the Spirit bless those hands and mind. Thank you so very much for the joy you have given me just now
Well done. Scott Joplin was a genius his own time. Too bad the march structure of ragtime music didn't last, but it did inspire great music to come after. Thanks for playing it on a upright piano from the time period. Who ever refurbished it did a nice job.
The challenge is the syncopation. You have to completely separate the left hand from the right - Its in 2/4 (Cut time,). And Mr.. Joplin annotated each piece with "Not too fast" . It is really a dance form, used for the "Cake Walk" - not the "Cake run" . :-)
2/4 is not cut time 2/2 is cut time
I love the sound these older pianos make, I don't know what it is about it, they just sound so authentic. Like it sounds like it belongs in a Saloon.
Fight starts:
Piano man: “here we go again”
LOL
aw crap here we go again
Copied
you rarely hear the entire rendition of this piece of classic music, Well DONE Good SIR! and Thank You!
plot twist: the skull on the piano is actually the owner of the piano☠️

Rumour has it vinhitero stared him to death 💀
He just didn't have the heart to part with it huh?
John Rowley well it is a nice piano lol 😂
Why does he have baby Mozart in the background?
You're asking that but you're missing the skull on the piano, why does he have a skull on the piano?
Why not? ^.^
Why does he have a trumpet on the piano? You could go on and on
To have someone to stare at your soul while playing...
Why he didn't must?
Marvelous. Always makes me view the movie "The Sting" in my mind. Scott Joplin was so talented. I love the built in candle holder.
I love The Sting. It’s one of my favorite movies of all times
First time I’ve heard him play a song to completion. It was wonderful!
Honestly, kind of happy you didnt cut the mistakes and fumbles. Makes me feel less alone when I play.
Whenever I hear performances, the pianist plays nearly perfectly and it weighs in at my own abilities.
It sounds really good with an old piano !

Le grandi composizioni musicali sono incredibili. Sembrano avvolte da una magia tale che ogni nota appare perfetta lì dov'è in una sequenza che sembra appunto magica nel risultato. Mamma mia che menti creative e ispirate!!!
Thank you for playing it straight as it's written and not trying to speed it up or add anything. Its better this way.
Joplin had some BANGERS

Absolutely... great melodies
Some finger poppin’ tunes
I can imagine Joplin stacking benjies til the rubber band pops
Mad skillz, yo!

This piano may have easily been played by Scott Joplin himself, kind of eerie if you think about it.
Sergio Solorio uhhhhhh
and playing the exact same notes
Joplin played a steinway
Could be his skull on the piano, too
mynamejeff lol that’s pretty freaky
I just have to come back to this every once in a while. This song on an old out-of-tune piano just sounds great.
Im learning a basic version of this. It gives me the chills when it starts to come together. Awesome job man
Me too.I am actually getting good at it! 😀
The Entertainer was one of the pre-loaded instrumentals on my old Casio keyboard when I was a kid and I used to play it incessantly.
nottacop Same for me but my family had a Yamaha Clavinova Full-size Digital Piano. It was included as a random sound clip for the demo button across from the variations button. 😅
Same. I had a Casio keyboard.
I feel like the composers of Mario Bros. music were heavily inspired by this song.
Especially the second half
bruce livingston You must hear Adventure then of T-Square
You are correct. Koji Kondo was inspired by ragtime.
I haven’t heard The Entertainer for many years. Thank you. I’d love to have you as my music teacher but I think I’d drive you mad. That’s why listening to you, the gifted musician, is just so much fun. Thank you. Della
I love this played on that piano. There’s something about the way it’s slightly out of tune that just fits this piece. It’s so much better than on a modern totally tuned piano.

i am 50 something and have been playing since i was 4. these rag times, for me, were always the hardest. hats off to you! (i used to have a pic of Beethoven hanging by my piano. gave me inspiration.)
A wonderful version! One of my favorite tunes!!!! It does have that old-timey sound... I can practically smell the unique fragrance of an old piano--musty, with a tang from the strings....
I can't erase the westworld flashbacks when i hear this song.
You probably hear the theme song of The Lone Ranger TV series and immediately think of William Tell...
4 out of 5 seniors would agree that if you want to have some nostalgistic fun, look up the 1973 movie, The Sting, with Robert Redford and Paul Newman. This tune was THE musical theme of that greatly entertaining caper/con film.
Your the only guy on TH-cam who plays it at the right speed
When your playing red dead 2 and there’s a full on shootout going on in the Saloon and the piano guy is going hard like nothings happening

This song was made in 1902 and RDR2 was 1899, unless you’re playing the epilogue as John in 1907.

I noticed that Lord Vinheteiro paid full attention to his fingerings. It's clear he was so respectful of this masterpiece.
And he played "not too fast", just how the Maestro would want it.
Such an awesome play! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

This piece is brilliant, just brilliant. Every American should learn the Scott Joplin story, one of the first and greatest pianists in US history.
Very beautiful authentic "rag" sound ! You play quite well ! Thank you for this beautiful piece ! Bravo !
