Nov 8, 2009 - I have a question, if scott joplin played that song at the beginning of the last century, how it is possible to record something with such a good quality like that?

Nov 8, 2009 - You dumbass, someone else played it and recorded it. Joplin just wrote the music.

Nov 8, 2009 - In the description, it says he recorded a piano roll of this song... this is just a recording of when the roll was played at some later time.

Nov 10, 2009 - For jsuakkek, piano rolls are not actual sound recordings. They are perforated pieces of paper that act as a guide for the piano to follow. It is not like a record because the roll itself does not actually produce sound. Rather it is loaded into the piano and run and those perforations play the corresponding key. In terms of recording a song, the pianist would play the piano while a blank roll ran and his/her piece would be "recorded" as a sort of sheet music. So it is not necessarily fake.

Slaggur Says:

Nov 20, 2009 - Of course his kid is dead, Scott Joplin died in 1917, if his kid were alive, it would have been 92 years old!

lekkerboeie Says:

Nov 20, 2009 - @Slagger Assuming that his kid was born when he was 49 in his year of death?

AmericanEvita Says:

Nov 21, 2009 - I'm always struck by the fact that this music is a century old (1900's/turn of the century) we are in another turn of the century. It sounds as if this music remained popular through the 1920's. It was salon music, jazz music, and definitely feel-good party music.
