The legend of 1900-piano scenes Duel

[@vegetathe4th376]

His friend and the audience doesnt know that by imitating the exact piece only by hearing once is above genius level...the pianist jolly roger was really pissed with 1900 only toying on him.

[@drazen1972cro]

I was thinking exactly the same thing

[@austindarling9595]

Yep exactly 😎

[@BigBoyLies]

he dont just imitate, theres a subtle difference between how 1900 play and how Jelly Morton plays the piece. lets just say he 'improved' the piece

[@marcomaniaci8821]

Don't know the actual term for it, but he kinda adds a roll with his left hand.

[@epalegmail]

And he even transposes it a semitone higher. I don't understand why everyone was angry at him, he literally insulted the other pianist at galactic levels with that second performance

I watched this movie when I was 15 in high school. I guess it was 2007. You know what, the repaired 4k version of this movie is just released in China two days ago in the big screens.

[@Picnic_Chicken]

He actually doesn’t play the 2nd song identically. He dramatically improves it on his left hand by rolling up to the bass note unlike JRM who played it much simpler and easier. An awesome detail that hidden in there!

[@bartholomew7061]

idk, thought the roll was nice but it came frequently

[@Picnic_Chicken]

Arctic I thought it was a nice amount, not too much, but enough to illustrate that he was playing a more skillful version of the song to the other guy.

[@WildBillJP]

A pianist friend of mine told me that the way he plays it is nearly impossible

[@MindFreakWonders]

@@WildBillJP it is very nearly impossible, because a roll like that normally takes both hands and yet he does it with only his left

[@andrewbarrett1537]

I think Mr. Morton could also do the bass roll, and heck, I can do it too. It's not rocket science. It's a nice touch but was used by dozens of ragtime pianists back in the day. Charley Straight uses it a lot in his piano rolls. He, and many other pianists, also liked to put a RIGHT-HAND roll in the TENOR (accompanied by a bass note with the left hand), in musical breaks IN BETWEEN higher right hand parts. That trick gives a sort of 'third hand' effect (if one is not paying attention) but anyway can be musically useful in certain places, if not overdone.

[@JacobdeFries]

I love the whole back and forth: Morton starts with a simple piece, 1900 responds with a simple one as well. Then, Morton plays The Crave, probably the first time anyone has heard it and 1900 copies it, by ear, after hearing it one time. Then, Morton plays a piece that would break your fingers if you're NOT Jellyroll Morton. 1900 response? A true finger breaker. Morton tries to keep up in his mind, his fingers twitching to try and match the tones he hears but can't, drops his glass and knows he lost.

[@JuanHernandez-bh9dh]

Amigo, hizo mucho más que eso 1900. En el primer tema 1900 se burlo porque en vez de tomarselo en serio, tocó Noche de Paz. En el segundo tema toco The crave(el mismo tema) pero una version mejor ya que le hizo unos cambios al bajo que era muy sencillo. Y en el tercer tema 1900 hace un tema a 6 manos, imposible para un humano normal.... Simplemente épico!

[@Lobsterjam78]

What the audience didn't realize is the fact that 1900 transposed this piece he had never heard before, in an other key... From D minor to D# minor (a difficult key) This is insane.

[@Eric-yi2yl]

You mean Eb minor I think

[@NJPurling]

JRM was so full of his-self, well full of something. Then along comes this guy who can play anything in any musical style, just by hearing it one time. Then 1900 finally shows his true talent: A very fast piece that was meant to be a DUET. Lighting the cigarette from the piano strings and sticking in in Morton's mouth. 'That's it, i'm done with you. Now go away'. Jelly Roll Morton shuffles out, a beaten man.

To Add to my previous post, When I first saw this movie in Japan I was a cinemas projection & sound engineer & Dolby Digital Stereo 7.1 just came out. I installed several of these Dolby EX systems all over Japan, but no movie was released yet in 7.1, so to hear it work was only with test film we had. The very first time I heard a Dolby-EX (7.1) unit work was with this movie.. The Scene: the trumpet player & 1900 got into trouble with the captain, as punishment they had to shovel coal.... they took a break, & one of them threw a hunk of coal & it hit the rear wall, of the ship, & it made a loud noise only from the rear surround speakers on the rear wall, I turned & look to see WHAT WAS THAT?, as soon as I put my eyes back onto the screen, they threw another coal & ht the wall & you heard the coal hitting the wall behind you, coming out of the rear surround speakers.. It was the greatest effect ( before Driven with Burt Reynolds)) that the 7.1 was so Bad ASS & my first time hearing 7.1 in a movie, I was use to hearing 4.1 & 5.1.... now they have 22.1, I retired after 50-yrs when it became 11.1 , great effect if you have 7.1 home theatre system, not as good as the real thing, coming from a guy to help pioneer what the real movie cinemas that is still use today & the home theatre systems, a little history for movie buffs about Dolby 7.1

If the Crave was an improvisation then it was an insult for Jolly to hear it from a man who had just heard it.

IMO "Enduring Movement" is, IMO, actually the opening bit of "Epistrophy" by Thelonius Monk, repeated over and over, with a riff from "Flight of the Bumblebee" by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov put in the treble, with some key changes, embellishments and altered and dissonant chords thrown in to 'spice it up a bit'.
