Martin Spitznagel | The Elliott Special
Просмотров 5 тыс.12 лет назад
Here's a tune I wrote in honor of my friends Byron and Melissa Elliott of Austin, TX. Byron and Melissa are fantastic patrons of the arts (Byron is a pretty damn fine piano player, too) and have done a great deal for ragtime and the music that I love. The piece is named after a drink that Byron's grandfather invented. It is called "The Elliott Special," and in the words of the grandfather, "One...

"Listen to my story. This may be our last chance..." To all who think videogame music can't be "music," I submit to you this gorgeous melody by composer Nobuo Uematsu. I've never actually played the game Final Fantasy X, from which this song originates. A friend requested this song be performed as part of a medley played at his wedding last summer, and folks really liked it so I'm putting this ...

I have some fun with one of my favorite tunes as a kid :D "Movin' Right Along" was written by Kenny Ascher and Paul Williams for the 1979 theatrical debut of the Muppets. I was born in 1982, so I never got to see it in the theater, but man I love this fricking movie. Have a request for a song to hear in ragtime? Let me know!

The Baltimore Todolo - Martin Spitznagel
I can imagine Chico Marx playing this
So cool.
What an amazing performance! Doesnt go into my head how this can be improvised 😳 crazy!
Thank you so much!
Help Israel!
Kristen Mosca Comes close .
It's what Jeeves and Wooster might have done after watching STAR WARS.
What's so great about this is it really channels the frontier/wild-west spirit that George Lucas was (probably) trying to instill in this scene.
its weird becuase i never saw classical pianists head bobbing while playing
Clearly written to be played by a 4 armed alien creature
Do you have notes?
its in description
Te juro que al inicio pense era Bad Piggies
Oh this is the soundtrack for the second Cuphead game? Sick.
It can't be, it's true... Prediction?
Bryan Wright did the sound eh? No wonder it's so good!
Played this at a piano recital with my teacher, we had so much fun 😂
That's awesome! Glad you had fun :)
I played this version with my girl-friend, who I married later, at my sister's wedding. It was so much fun. But I needed a Lot of exercice as being an accordion and not a Piano player. 😊
2023,, and still come back to this!!
Can't believe we posted it 14 years ago!
I WANT THIS VERSION! On Apple Music!?
May the Fourth Be With You...
Wonderful
I here this is the remix version young Luke.
The notes are not
I dun it in 2.4 parcects
Clap clap clap to the music while playing
I watched this for the first time when i was 10. Still gives me chills
I've only ever seen you play, never just talking. It's nice to see the man behind the god.
I googled Muppets and Spitznagel and I am not disappointed.
wow this video is 13 years old. Still the best version of Cantina Band I have ever heard!
Bravissimo!
Thanks!
Good and clever. Can I add a joke? Ragtime can be the useful companion to a woollen cap and a fleece sweatshirt to keep you warm if do not turn on the heating system.
I like it! Thank you!
This is a very "FORCE"-full performance. May The Farce Be with You.
Nice
Keith Emerson brought me here, who included a portion of Sullivan's piece in his "Piano Improvisations" from Emerson, Lake & Palmer's 1974 live album. I love your version of Sullivan's master work, Martin - very true to form, and your rhythm was impeccable.
Thanks so much for this kind comment! You sent me on a Keith Emerson deep dive and I found his rendition - YES!!! Good Lord, it's amazing. Thank you! -M
@@Spitzfire No problem; a Keith Emerson deep dive is always good! Hope you are still playing this great piece; enjoying your performance again.
Ah. A bear in his natural habitat. A Studebaker.
👏AMAZING
"Throw it away" needs to be replaced with a better example because most people would say those four syllables very quickly with a pause afterwards. Think give it away give it away give it away now.
That's a great suggestion! Thanks!
Bravi,sempre bravi che felicità la vostra musica❤️👍👍👍👍
What is your intro piece?
It's my own composition from 1999 entitled "Red Elephant Rag" :)
@@MartinSpitznagel thanks
I'll tell you a secret: Star Wars is a western
4 hands
This is amazing
Excellent natural piano playing - thanks for bringing Zurke back to life.
brilliant
awesome cover, it reminded me for this 1939 German Salon number, ruclips.net/video/_Y2l9HjHtiU/видео.html
still here somehow.
Me too, thankfully! :D
Wow
The thing I hated about the re-released Star Wars is that this music was removed
Roses are red
Violets are blue
I’m listening to this
as you should too
Be honest, you didn't look for this 12 year old video either 😌
Look up Kristen Mosca star wars cantina
Kristen is great! Super funny, too. Definitely people should check her out.
There is a girl on here that can play that peice by herself
I ALWAYS wanna hear more ragtime. So addicting😂😂 Great video!
