“The Entertainer” by Scott Joplin, performed by 12 years old Jeremy Hsu.
Written for piano in 1902, “The Entertainer” is one of the most popular piece of ragtime, a musical genre whose main characteristic is its syncopated (or "ragged") rhythm, and which enjoyed its peak popularity between 1897 and 1918.
As one of the classics of ragtime, it returned to international prominence as part of the ragtime revival in the 1970s, when it was used as the theme music for the 1973 Oscar-winning film The Sting. Composer and pianist Marvin Hamlisch's adaptation reached No. 3 on the Billboard pop chart and spent a week at No. 1 on the easy listening chart in 1974.
The Recording Industry Association of America ranked it at No. 10 on its "Songs of the Century" list.
Thanks for watching! 🎹🎶
