- This footage of the piano battle is from the Scott Joplin movie featuring the following cast: Billy Dee William, Clifton Davis, Eubie Blake, and Art Carney ).
Great Scene and Performance. - Zábava
I can't help but be driven to amazement knowing that Eubie Blake -- a man who lived to have seen Scott Joplin in person is here in this movie judging "Scott Joplin"...
Is that right? Holy crap that's amazing!
I had the pleasure of meeting Eubie, and hearing him play. This film is just fantastic.
7:03 - Yes you can be bummed out that someone was better than you but what he does here is a sign of pure respect. Bravo!
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🎩✨🥂
I love that Loui played scotts tune. The look on scott's face as he sees how the crowd reacts to his music is priceless..
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. 😢❤️
I love every bit of this
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. 😂
In real life, Joplin DID NOT allow Chauvin play his own piece. That was just the way this television movie was written. Chauvin's music was very melancholy; Joplin helped him write them down.
i Discovered this pianist Scott Joplin and the movie dedicated to him
It is simply SUBLIME
This Dueling Piano Competition extract movie is a real piece of anthology
T he scene or children between dancing is great cinema
Billy Dee clapping like he did in Return of the Jedi, lol! But I love this film, needs a 4k restoration.
Damn, Clifton Davis was so damn fine, he even made Billy Dee Williams look like regular people!
I want to go back their to that time and see it live and than buy. up all those buildings and keep them forever as it was!
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.
"What you doing on them keys?"
Me: Smoking yo ass that's what. 😂😂😂
As far as I know, the song that "Mr. Joplin" plays at 5:28, is a mashup between three songs. Joe Sullivan's Little rock Getaway, James P. Johnson's Carolina shout, and the Poet and Peasant overture (It's a really long song, I hear some resemblance in this video at about 4:40: czcams.com/video/GaYzWL1UWOo/video.html ) You're welcome.
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
A legend in music
sum fine looking men
WONDERFUL!!!!!!!!!!! BRAVO!!!
This is just great
Love the facial expressions at 6:52
never can say goodbye ...
haha the old man telling them to gtfo cracks me up
The 2 young dancing boys might be the Nicholas Brothers! That split was a signature move for them.
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.
Battle of Ragtime/Boogie-woogie Gods 😍❤️😍
loving it
Man you`ve been cut out by Mr. Eubie Blake himself... such a great scene!
The roots of Versuz and the roots of Jamaican soundclashes.
The roots of battle rap
"Hello, what have we here? Welcome, my name is Scott Joplin. I'm the composer of ragtime. And who might you be?"
"Chauvin."
"Welcome, Chauvin."
This is a lovely bit of fantasy.
two of most talented handsome gentleman of that era, 1970's.
Billy Dee the king of swagg. Luv them both... Clifton Davis sexy as hell too!
Lando Calrissian morphs into Scott Joplin. And Ed Norton morphs into Scott" Joplin's music agent, John Stark. That is versatility!.
Best scene I've seen
Maple leaf rag at 6:51
You forgot to write that Taj Mahal and Otis Day are playing in this piano cutting contest too..
Better than the Star Wars Cantina band...Lando should have been a member.
Show de bola!!!!
Hes the king of ragtime😎❤️🔥
The part that Joplin plays at 6:10 is the part that sounds like Poet and Peasant Overture. It is a rather short part of a 20 minute piece, I found the relevant part by jumping around a lot.
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
Great scene!
@mic283 Eubie Blake is the older gentleman who plays the contest judge. He can be seen from 3:14 to 3:19 turning over the glass (meaning the man at the piano has lost and must relinquish the stool), from 4:18 to 4:42 talking to "Joplin", turning the glass again from 5:06 to 5:14, approving of "Joplin's" performance to "John Stark" from 5:51 to 5:53, turning the glass again from 6:18 to 6:31, near "Stark" from 7:15 to 7:19 and from 8:00 to 8:01, 8:38 to 8:40, and 8:49 to 8:50.
Scott joplin is my favorite artist and my second favorite is jelly Morton
We think of the 1800s as being such a different time than the 20th century. Yet, this night was less than 20 years away from over one hundred million people dying as a result of WW1 and the Spanish flu. Sobering.
Fioooone ass Billy Dee Williams
Although I'm a little skeptical of the part at the beginning where Louis Chauvin meets Scott Joplin (although I suppose it *could* have happened that way), I'm much less skeptical of the look "Joplin" (Billy Dee Williams) gives the two cutting-contest participants at 3:05... he obviously can't stand the kind of "music" they're making!!! Brilliant!
Ragtime was definitely frowned upon lol
SUPER!!! SCOTT JOPLIN
I hope the local fire brigade was on call for these pianos are in danger of exploding!Terrific stuff.
5:59 HEY WHAT KEY ARE YOU IN?!?!
E-flat. XD
Yes
Keys are for people who can't play REAL music! :P
@@almishti excuse me wtf?
Were they in a brothel?
What is the name of the first partition played
@policerip Joplin is the Sam Jackson look alike (lol its Billy D WIlliams aka Lando Calrissian), and the one in the hat is Louis Chauvin (1881 - 1908). Chauvin was regarded by all of the ragtime pianists and composers to be the best pianist - he could play anything back on one hearing and was a prolific composer, however he left only 3 published works, including "Heliotrope Bouquet" which he wrote with Joplin 2 years before his death at age 27 from multiple sclerosis.
@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.
Scott Joplin looks like Mos Def.
Well … he can do a good pantomime at least. Dick Hyman is actually the pianist you hear in this film.
found it again:D thx ...so cool the man with one arm :D:D
Me interesa ver está peli
Alguien en español por aquí??
👀👀
Yo. y a mí me encanta Scott Joplin
Where i can dowload or get this movie ? :P But really nice video, good quality!
What that first song called that they are playing at the first piano song.
I wish we had more record of Louis Chauvin's music
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: czcams.com/video/IvmqYZr0RFo/video.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.
When Louis comes in to play is he playing the end to Maple leaf rag?
Then why joplin's gives up?
Carl Johnson I think he faked it for Chauvin to "win"
A musical breakthrough! (poor guy . . .)
Was the song that the one handed man play a real song? If so, could you let me know
Art Carney, in my opinion an underrated actor. Liked his character Norton better than Kramden in the old Honeymooners TV show. As for this clip, Joplin would not play his music so fast. Speeding up the tempo heightens the intensity of this scene--that's good filmmaking--but Joplin always admonished people not to play his music fast. Joplin was a good composer, not a great composer. But there will always be room at the table. You don't need to be Bach to find a seat.
@mic283 Eubie Blake was the old man running the competition
Does anyone know the song starting from till' maple leaf? From let's say 6:14..
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.
Which one is Eubie Blake?
@TheKris192 yeah thats a cool transition although the line the guy says "hey thats some new kind of music!" is wrong, ragtime had been in full swing for several years by the time Maple Leaf was written in 1897
Doug19752533 1901
Does someone know the name of the tune Scott Joplin played at 5:29? Thanks!
Clifton davis Louis chauvin
Thanks for posting this. BTW: in a cutting contest the music is supposed to be played as fast and as intricately as possible. The film as far as I know, is accurate about this. T
I like Scott Joplin's musics,because are originals.What is the score of 3:21 to 3:36 music?It's very good.Would you answer,please?Thanks in advance.
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
What song is that again?
Maple leaf rag but idk what you did mean
Gu Mo'ni
Where can I get this movie?
.
SpinCerePL on CZcams movies
ok, how exactly this competition goes ? I can't understand it.
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
what is the name of the song S.Joplin plays when he first sits down in this scene?
Maybe maple leaf rag
Swipsy cakewalk
Elite syncopations
Is the first guy who loses Screaming Jay Hawkins?
Lando Calrissian can play a mean piani.
any1 knows where can i dowload this movie?
The guy playing Chauvin is ten times better at faking piano than Billy Dee Williams.
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?
Scott Joplin always stressed the importance that ragtime was NEVER to be played fast!
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.
Never seen this before but I’m confused to why maple leaf rag was under Joplin’s name even tho the other guy played it
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
Does anyone know where I can watch the full movie

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.

0:42
What is the song at 02:04?
Idk
It was made for the film in pretty sure
What movie is this?
Scott Joplin. The movie.
What song is Chuavin playing?
Maple leaf rag
Chauvin is Clifton Davis
Whats the name of the song at 2:00 ?
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.
I'm confused. Why did Joplin let his partner win with his own piece?
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.
как посмотреть весь фильм?

This is how KFC started
Haven't see this movie, but they got one thing wrong.
It was well known Joplin could not read music.
How much is $100 dollars in 2020 money?.
Back then 1 dollar had the buying power of 30 dollars today, so 100 dollars then would be about 3000 dollars today.
Does anyone know the song at 5:28?
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.
"Poet and Peasant" overture
@LeavesLullaby
Poet and Peasant Overture
I was born in the wrong generation
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.
