10 Silent Movie Songs That You´ve Heard and Don´t Know the Name

I played 10 Silent Movie songs that you've heard but do not know the name. In fact, no one knows their names. Learn on this video! I played in a 1915 piano, when Scott Joplin was still working!

I wonder what Metal songs would sound like on this piano.

[@Musique487]

It's because it's a piano with nails instead of hammers (Tack piano) hitting the strings and slightly out of tune. That is the sound associated with saloons and silent films.

Same

[@tashkiira7838]

The King of Ragtime. Often imitated, occasionally equaled, never bested. There are very few composers at his level, across all of music.

Scott Joplin : the Hans Zimmer of 1910 !

I'd say he's the Liszt of 1910 but hey, Hans Zimmer still matches!

[@amog849]

Kacper Maciejewski Oh come now, we shan't compare Scott Joplin to the Franz

[@wingsofwrath4647]

Not a bad comparison, and that would make John Philip Sousa the John Williams of the day...

[@ValkyrieZiege]

; "A Dog's Life" theme was composed by Sir Charles Spenser Chaplin.

[@titania3742]

Where can i find the sheet?

[@OofusTwillip]

I know most of these tunes, because I grew up with a 1914 player-piano, and plenty of antique piano-rolls. Other "silent movie" tunes you often hear: "Hearts and Flowers" (for tear-jerkers), "That's a Plenty" (also used by Jackie Gleason), "Bag of Rags" (used in the Main Street Movie Theatre, at Disneyland and Disney World), "The Slimy Viper" (for villains), and "Snake Charmer".

My Grand Mother played music for Vaudeville and the piano for the Silent Movies. When she visited from New York in the late '50's = early '60's, we would turn on the TV and watch the old movies of Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, Keystone Cops, Laurel and Hardy and many more. We turned down the volume and my Grand Mother played the piano based on the action of the show. She taught me all of these along with ad lib classical pieces to fit the action. To this day, I carry on the craft, as I would call it, and entertain kids doing the same as my Grand Mother did,

[@steveharris1740]

Yep, Jopin is the King of Rag! I can just picture you in a saloon in New Orleans circa 1908. I just love the classic feel to that piano. The lit candles make the ambience perfect!

[@thehaseeb9136]

Scott Joplin was a genius personality. Once in a lifetime person, Sadly he died very early at 49.

[@copperhamster]

I love that piano. Also, I knew half of these but then we had a Scott Joplin record set and it was one of the things I tried to learn by ear on our piano. (also a half dozen other ragtime/old piano records). Our piano sounded a lot like that one, was an old air-driven stand up player from the 1890s that was literally being scrapped when my dad took it home, pulled out most of the player parts, and resurfaced, then got a guy he worked with that knew someone who restored piano to redo the innards a bit.

[@romulogarcia1193]

A música A Dog's Life foi sempre creditada a Charlie Chaplin. Vi no vídeo que não tem o nome do compositor da música, então foi o Charlie Chaplin mesmo, foi o tema principal do curta-metragem "Vida de Cachorro". Ás vezes ela é creditada como "Green Lantern Rag". Chaplin fez de tudo na produção dos seus filmes, contrarregra, roteirista, diretor, ator e também a trilha sonora, tocava piano muito bem, deve ter se inspirado em Scott Joplin para criar esta.

[@atlladyleo1]
