I like this guy because he actually explained and go through what is does the piece teaches you, explain the jumps the scales the chords. As a rookie pianist I am, I find this video both entertaining and informative.

9:36 impossible!! lord vinheteiro gave us a little smile

[@Pewi240]

😮

[@Solitaire001]

I think there are three reasons why "The Entertainer" became so played: (1) The movie "The Sting" (1974) which brought the music of Scott Joplin back to the Public's attention (although I prefer the solo piano version of "Solace" over "The Entertainer"), (2) it is in the Public Domain so any can play it, and (3) it was one of the early songs played via computer, On my Commodore 64 computer there was a music program and one of the songs included was "The Entertainer".

[@chequereturned]

It was also used in a lot of old cartoons

[@Nikioko]

8:08: Yes, Pachelbel's Canon was written for string quartet, and it is a pain in the neck for the cello: 52 bars of playing the same eight notes. And it is so popular, because it is so simplistic. And if you replace the G in the seventh accord by Em, you get Streets of London. But the most famous canon in existence is Frère Jaques.

[@tag10uk]

I'd argue that Row your boat is an even more popular canon.

[@PianoteOfficial]

Loving your reaction series!! ✨

[@matticawood]

Thank you! I appreciate you guys for making quality content for me to react to! 🎹🎵

[@Magzhan-o3s]

Moonlight Sonata 1st movement is pretty easy, beautiful and harmonic, so it obviously will be overplayed. But, the 3rd movement, which I am learning right now is making me cry😭 Edit: oh it was easy after my teacher explained all the arpeggios.

[@raylanmacedo9936]

Lord Vinheteiro is amazing as musician, but he really shine during interviews and podcast. If you don't understand Portuguese, you are missing at least 90% of his best content

[@sleetz5757]

yo bro u have really good consistency and you are definitely going to make it big. This is only the beginning, and the journey only gets better I appreciate ur work

[@DjVortex-w]

An easy way to categorize piano pieces into two categories of difficulty: Vinheteiro doesn't need to look at the piano while playing it, or he needs to.

[@jordellfreshbreeze7133]

Canon in D is a very fun song to improvise on, and the simple chord pattern makes it good for beginners

[@Soares-Rodrigo]

1:04: Cut time isn't necessarily 2/2, it can also be 4/2. Alle breve just means that the halves are the metrum, rather than the quarters as in common time.

[@visiblepain7676]

Nah

[@NovaMenno]

Bach's Prelude in C was actually a sort of tutorial on playing figured bass

[@HappyIcons]

in my opinion Nocturne in E Flat Major and Clair de Lune are overplayed. Nocturne because a ton of aspiring pianists learn it and Clair de Lune because its just good and the beginning is easy to play.

[@WayneKitching]

I learnt two simplified versions of The Entertainer with 2 different teachers. I played it pretty smoothly. I would have loved to learn it in the proper stride piano style though.

[@evergreengaming2.053]

I didn't even realize that "Canon in D" was in Maroon 5's "Memories" until he pointed that out. Now I can't unhear it. :|

[@jasondeddens]

They just use that chord progression and a bit of the melody, many other songs actually used the chords due to their compelling movement! :) (Maroon 5 definitely ruined it though and that is coming for someone who basically plays Canon in D every morning, that's how much I love it)

[@evergreengaming2.053]

@@jasondeddens Man! Dedication! I can also see why so many electric alarm clocks use a variant Canon in D as the alarm.

O funk arruinou a música brasileira do mesmo jeito que o hip-hop arruinou a música americana... uma bosta

[@What_Makes_Climate_Tick]

Back in the 70s when I was learning, every kid had to get the simplified arrangement of The Entertainer, with just a single bass line plus the melody. Another one that was popular in the late 70s or maybe early 80s was Music Box Dancer, a piano solo piece that got some radio time and some popularity. It seems to not have had as much staying power, but might be one some actual music boxes. At first when I saw the words Prelude in C Major (which I have played), I was thinking of Chopin's Prelude in c minor, which is one of my go-tos when I want to wallop on a piano with some big chords, then finish with a whisper.

[@hektor6766]

I had forgotten Music Box Dancer. Now I'll have to forget it again.

[@jannomeeuwessen4886]

Rush E not being in E makes me question my existence

[@MajWinters100]

Even with all the flak Canon in D receives, I'll always love it. I don't care what people say, it'll always hold a place in my heart.

[@paçoca12.3]

i absolutelly agree with your opinion about River flows in you I've played and listened to so many times that I just cannot apreciatte as I used to

[@thewrongaccount608]

The songs I really want to learn are mostly from David Lanz. These songs got me interested in piano but Lanz's music keeps me around.

[@jpmasters-aus]

The Entertainer - from 1975 - 1979, I was in high school and was in the Symphonic Orchestra, electric piano and percussion. Back then, we didn’t have two different types of groups. When we performed/toured, a small number of us had to learn different styles, and for the Jazz/Ragtime section, a small number of us would perform. The Entertainer was the core piece, and sometimes, depending on the performance time, it was the only piece played in that section. You are right, there is some complications for the pianist playing it. If I recall the rest of the ensemble included Clarinet, Sax, and sometimes Trumpet with the piano. If the venue has an upright piano we would use that with the other ensemble members standing around the piano.

[@Cookiedoggy3545]

This is like a sad but true situation

[@Innatefx]

Matthew, I was going through all of them and when he did knuckle song I already thought about #10. That was my first song I could creatively do either part along with the all important Jaws, Close Encounters and Pink Panther themes of my day. Fun fact, only piece that Lord V had to look at was The Entertainer piece. So I guess he’s not a big ragtime guy and didn’t have the song memorized. Love your work ❤

[@warrengday]

LOVE the black notes only chords tip.

[@darrenbraynard4005]

Heart and soul was stolen by Carmichael. According to family, was written by Amy Braynard, my great Aunt who was a commercial organist and composer. She couldn't afford a lawyer to fight for it. We had other songs of hers in our piano bench as kids.

[@izuy5441]

*i definitely nailed that* yes u did😂

[@dyacktman]

Fun fact about Heart and Soul: while most people play it as I-vi-IV-V in the key of C, the sheet music I have for the full song (1938 copyright date) is actually I-vi-ii-V in the key of F. The first time I saw it I found it interesting that it uses a 2-5-1 cadence like you would find in jazz instead of the expected 4-5-1.

[@matticawood]

That is super interesting! Particularly because a ii7 would contain the notes from chord IV so it’s essentially the same but with a different bass note to give a ii7-V-I cadence.

[@stevesm2010]

David Bennet made a great video highlighting all the uses of the Canon in D chord progression and I was surprised to see Bananarama in there LOL

[@Drakoni23]

The most overplayed piece when I went to school and had piano lessons was the Amélie soundtrack. And the "everyone knows it" piece here is the Flea Waltz (German: Flohwalzer). Similar to the Knuckles song it only uses mainly black keys with a few white ones inbetween.

[@tw11tube]

Those flea dance a strange kind of waltz, though. The Flea Waltz is in common time, whereas any human waltz is in compound time.

[@NZTotem]

I was today old when I learned that the name of the silly piano piece my mother and I used to play when I was about 7 - 8 y.o. is called Heart and Soul. We referred to it as Chopsticks.

[@123SLM123]

Thanks Matthew. This is a really nice way to look at this topic. I have never liked the way (classical) pianist scoff at some of the music in this video and I really started hating the snobbish elitist behaviour some youtube pianists have towards some of this music once I started trying to learn the piano myself. You're never too good for any music, especially not as a teacher.

[@CarterElkins]

Well said. I like the acknowledgment here that some songs deserve to be "overplayed." Unfortunately, much of the professional music world is plagued by elitism. It's up to us to buck the trend! What a silly idea, that we should change what we like because too many other people share our taste.

[@AjaxSkye]

When I dreamed of learning the piano, the first song I wanted to learn was Canon. I always thought it was one of the most beautiful pieces to be written. I didnt really mind the graduation song, didnt necessarily like it either. But memories ruined the crap out of the song I agree. One song that many disagree with me about is Beautiful in white. I always thought that was a great use of Canon. But nothing will ever be as beautiful as the original score. The one the channel Just Classics posted i can listen too a thousand times LOL My mother always loved fur elis and music box dancer. Both I also love. Lastly, I always wondered why Train's play that song sounded so freaking familiar......... It's because of one of the songs my grandma always played back when i was really young. Heart and soul! Thanks!

lol that Terry Crews clip. He absolutely owned that role. That really is a great song though. I love how Lord included Rush E. His channel was where I first saw that, and I had to jump down the rabbit hole. Rush E is an awesome song too. It seems like the trick to making a good meme is to use songs people like. Even if people won't admit liking the song, they must like it.

[@Odo_Fraggins]

As far as “Canon in D” in pop music goes, I think GLC’s “Your Missus is a Nutter” (itself sampling Serge Gainsbourg’s “Cannabis”) is my favorite example. I know this is a stretch, musically speaking 😂

[@matticawood]

I don’t know this - am I going to regret searching for it? 😐

[@Odo_Fraggins]

I don’t think it’s TOO rude, so it would depend on your tolerance for such things. I’ve known a few people like the one in this song, so it could just be familiarity talking.

[@utlohmton7064]

The octaves B on a thousand miles is so hard for me to do smoothly without tension 😅

[@nevsetakodnoznachno]

That’s funny! I’ve never heard knuckle song before!!! You say it’s a piece for those who don’t play piano? In my country we have Dogs’ Valse instead 😂. By the way, it was very pleasant to listen to your speech! That’s what we called in school perfect pronunciation!))

[@Nikioko]

The Prelude in C is the first and probably the most well-known part of the Well-Tempered Clavier. But we have to keep in mind that Bach wrote a prelude and a fugue for each major and minor key, so it's 48 different pieces, which makes the whole opus not overplayed.

[@ventus_pl8275]

Canon in D will always sound weird to me cause while everyone calls it a wedding song it was played on my grandma's funeral xD

Prelude 1 is the most beautiful piece of music ever written, so it simply is not possible to over-play it.

[@waidi3242]

I think one of the most overplayed pieces is also Turkish March by Mozart, it almost makes me shiver with cringe when i meet someone who tells me they don't know any harder piece than that. I mean i get it but like it's so overplayed that i grew to hate it.

[@jordellfreshbreeze7133]
