Hello Mr. Rinaudo! I am a huge fan of you and your passion for the amazing machine that is the American fotoplayer! If by some chance you see this, I’d just like to tell you how much I’ve enjoyed watching these videos over the years that you’ve been kind enough to share with the world. Both the music and hearing you yourself give insights and quips here and there has brought me so much joy. I just wanted to thank you for being so passionate about the fotoplayer and the music of it’s day; without you I would have never even heard of the fotoplayer, let alone seen one in action (and oh man do you sure put that thing into action!). I hope you’re doing well and keeping the fotoplayer and it’s music alive, god bless you and thank you! :)

I can just imagine a Buster Keaton film being played along with this

YOU'LL NEVER TAKE ME ALIVE, COPPERS!!

Parts of this tune (2:24-2:44) (3:04-3:24) (3:43-4:01) incorporate the "Storm" section of the "William Tell Overture". That section was used in many cartoons, including the first Technicolor Mickey Mouse cartoon "The Band Concert".

Gaylord Carter performed this piece during a July 1968 concert and silent film performance at the Wiltern Theatre in Los Angeles. He announced to the audience that the correct title of the piece was "Hurry #1" by John Stepan Zamecnik (1872-1953), a prolific American composer of music for silent films. More recently, however, others have questioned that identification. More research is certainly needed on the subject.

They probably played that during the train Clase in ”The General” !

Beautiful arrangement in fantastic reproduction. The theme was inspired by Friedrich Burgmüller 25 etudes op. 100 No. 2 Arabesque which was published in 1851.

The hero comes 30 seconds before the train. If not, the audience would say "never ever a movie from them, they end so unsatisfying"

Wonderful! My husband and I -- former classical teachers and performers -- have wondered for years about this very music. Thank you Joe Rinaudo and Scott Lasky for giving it a name -- or for finding the name. I do hear elements of the storm music from the overture to William Tell in there.

Brilliant thanks so much. My great grandad was a pianist for silent films and I'm learning. I want the sheet music to this

Call me Old School. But Mr. Ronaudo, I could listen to you play all day long. 😃👍 🎹 🎵🎶

Huh, in the descriptions KZread recognized the song as the Mysterious March by Gaston Borch. Nonetheless, the composition of this peice was really awing.

That piece is on IMSLP but doesn't match the music: see imslp.org/wiki/Mysterious_March_(Borch,_Gaston)

Like literally having your very own theater organist at home! Amazing machine and amazing interactive work by yourself! So amazing to me! Especially as someone who was taking organ lessons until suddenly I ended up having issues with neuromuscular disease that make it too much for me to process playing and actually have my hands move the way they need to to play the notes. This is so cool!

Fantastic! Kudos to the arranger and to you, Joe, for sharing these vintage gems

This would be fun to overdub onto the movie Mad Max: Fury Road.

absolutely incredible !!

Fantastic work as always! Hope we'll get to hear even more tunes from Joe soon :)

Scott, this is incredible! I didn't know you cut rolls. And to find that recording to discover the title. Great detective work and arrangement. Of course Joe gave it his magic touch...and pulls and levers and honks and such.

Worth the price of admission!!! Bravo!

Just what I needed, some more of the great Joe Rinaudo!

I have a reproduction of a book originally from 1924 by Erno Rapee, titled "Motion Picture Moods For Pianists and Organists", I believe it was something the piano players could refer to that divided pieces by theme. There are a few under the heading 'Races', but I think this may be 'Allegro No. 1' by Adolf Minot. I may have looked this up before.

So glad you're back!

I've been looking for the piano sheet music for this for ages!

that was f*¢k¡ng sweet. I've never seen a player piano that requires somebody to control it. excellent work, sir.

Music remixing, the mechanical way.

Go to Joe's website silentcinemasociety.org and search "fotoplayer" - several items will show up, including details about this marvelous music machine. Be sure to subscribe to the website newsletter!

wonderful to hear you back :) great stuff! :)

Where’s Joe?? No uploads in 3+ yrs.

Who else was waiting for him to honk the horn or pull a chain making the classic vwhooping noise?

So happy of finding your channel, old man!

The start of that music sounds banger

this gets a sub just from being so obscure and niche, i love that

The chase and bad weather, especially tornadoes.

I know, from other posts, that J.S. Zamecnik was a prolific composer for the silent films: it might be worth checking out his legacy.

I think this is the instrument they used in Herbie Rides Again for the juke box

3:05 this is my favorite part of the song!

Does anyone else wonder who it is that almost always thumbs down even the finest of performances? Overly frustrated and pedestrian souls with too much time on their hands I suppose.

I love thus song

Hi Joe - WOW I've been looking for this for years! Can I use your recording in a video game please?

I call this instrument in his will

We were listening to this... it sure sounds like it was a generic take on The Flight of the Bumblebee by Rimsky-Korsakov.

Hehehehehe,,, Youre soooo Cool,,,, just love it

were do i get one of those

Scott Laskey is a very clever fellow.

This man should be given a medal. What is this guy's address???

I really hope this dude has an apprentice or something to carry on when he's gone.

Hit it joe

didnt they play this in the hurricane episode of donald and mickey? where he got twisted between the trees?

Does anyone have a QRS number or other references for a piano roll version? I just inherited a duo-art and am in the process of building an awesome collection of rolls. I would love a fotoplayer. But as heavy as the Aeolian was, I can't imagine what moving a fotoplayer is like.

I've first heard this in that one clip of Felix The Cat chasing after that comic book stealer.

Buster Keaton - In the Goat

I'm hearing a lot of Simpsons Hit and Run music in this, anyone else?

I’ll get you and your fortune yet Penelope Pitstop or my name isn’t the Hooded Claw!

... replace any chase scene in Fast and the Furious, with this.....

I think we shook them

Someone call Brian Wilson! He might want to write a new section to Mrs. O'Leary's Cow.

I have a business plan for you. I plan to win over 500 million in the lottery, any time now. I'm feelin' lucky, and I haven't won yet, so it's my turn. When I do, I plan to open a chain of old-time movie houses all over the country, and YOU'RE hired to provide the silent movie music in at least one of them. The "fotoplayer" is AWESOME!
