Don't know how many times I've seen this bit. No superlatives would be enough to define these geniuses, so I'll keep enjoying them over and over again. And again.
I wouldn't call anything about this preternatural. It comes from an era where things like musical knowledge/ability and culture were encouraged instead of being cut from school due to lack of intelligence (or funding I suppose) on society's fault. This is amazing and I truly wish movies were still like this instead of about "actors" that can't really do anything besides act in 1 genre.
@BioPhreak While you're right in saying that musical talent was more likely to be encouraged in the era in which the Marxes grew up, you're wrong in saying that they learned anything about it in school. Only one of the five Marx brothers finished school. Harpo never graduated 2nd grade. Chico had one or two years of piano lessons at home. Other than that, both Chico and Harpo were entirely self taught.
I make skits that are chock-full of puns and one-liners, please take a look and let me know what you think! I'm a huge fan of The Marx Brothers and want to reach out to an audience who likes that sense of humor
These are the kinds of movies that should be shown in today's schools. maybe then some kids will finally see what true talent really is. and maybe have a good laugh too. :)
@ev0rmast0rmind Just look at Harpos left hand. When he's playing the two notes back and forth, you can hear the low note when his finger is pressing the upper part of the register. It's most evident around 3:08. It would be more evident if you played the piano. Also, it's a known fact that Harpo only knew how to play about 2 songs on the piano, and I'll bet it wasn't a 4 hand piece. Sorry to burst your bubble; however Harpo does an excellent job of faking it. Had me fooled at first.
@ganymedeSLKDJF HOWEVER.. He's got to be VERY well schooled in music in order to play (or fake it), in such perfect time. I'm not convinced either way. (Now I'll have to watch it over and over again to try and figure out what's going on!)
@Humormonger A better example would be at the 1:00 minute mark after Chico slaps Harpos hand, Chico begins playing while Harpo hands aren't on the piano but the left hands part can still be heard. Harpo does obviously have a musical background from the harp, but he originally wanted to be schooled in the piano. I'm sure he's taught himself a few things in that regard, but I'm convinced he's mimicking this part. BTW, I play the piano too and am a Huge Marx Brothers fan.

@chevalier947 "ARE THEY REAL?" ... I cant' believe what Im reading. Of COURSE they were real, and no more multi-talented individuals ever LIVED. Their notoriety is LEGENDARY, for Heaven's sake. Embrace the culture that's around you, people.. PAST and PRESENT. It's LIFE.
I'm not convinced that Harpo actually played in this - Chico's playing seems to line up, but only the simple stuff seems to match Harpo's playing. I know he played the piano a little, but I'm not at all sure that he could play stuff of this complexity. (That being said, the accompaniment he plays at the beginning is pretty rudimentary.)
@NewhamMatt Youve got to be kidding me.. He actually played it alright, and by the way, have you ever heard him also play his harp? It would bring tears to your eyes. Yes, he IS really playing it, not like the fake crap that's generated in THIS day and age. Do some research; you'll be ashamed that you ever doubted the 'real-ness' of the Marx Brothers' talent when you finish.
comedic and musical brilliance. i would love to be a fly on the wall at their practice sessions. i wish i knew more about their upbringing...were they classically trained?
Hi fellow MB freaks! I invite you to enjoy my new master class on the music of Chico and Harpo. Free, hilarious, and very educational! Type in "Dave Frank" Marx on Youtube.
obviously you dont play piano, as that would be harder to fake then to learn. People that fake it dont have perfect form, also they usually arent noted for their musical abilities. Look it up, chico played piano in a whorehouse when he was 12. Victor Borge was perfectly capable of playing and being funny at the same time.......
Well, as a matter of fact I do play piano and they were not playing. I do know that they both could play several instruments but they were not playing live on tape. Look closely and you can see for yourself. Unless you don't play piano.
Well, I do play and I guess we disagree lol I do Agree that there was an overdub as is made obvious by the other instruments, but penatonically it seems that their hands are always moving in the right dirrection and ballance wise, those are piano hands.
Well one thing I'm sure we agree on is that the Marx Brothers were the greatest. They could do it all! I really enjoyed this video and now my 11 year old son has seen many of them and laughs like crazy when he watches them.
Are the Marx Brothers for real? This is the fifth video in a row I have seen of their preternatural musical/ acting/ vaudeville talent. I can't believe these guys existed. Mesmerizing/ ethereal/ amazing
exactly,. the marx brothers were the funniest then, and basically created slapstick comedy,. Its ashame they get lost in the times as they pass. I also remember watching them as a kid,. Waht kids dont like today is these movies are B/W and they have no hiphop sound track in the BG (background) nothing but crackling analog tape and hiss
@chevalier947 Yes they did! They started out as a musical act and they kept adding comedy in and then started doing movies. You should look into them if you like the clips you will not be disappointed! :)
It appears we've been reading the same book. By the way, remember his account of Chico's first piano teacher, who only taught Chico to play the melody line, because she didn't know how to play with both hands? One can see her influence in this video, can't one?
Although Borge was born 20 yrs after the Marx's, the Bros didn't become world renowned until after Borge created his own act. However, if either "borrowed" from the other, I think it's fair to say that it worked out for the best!
Incredible!!! It was impossible for those guys to miss a beat! Their musicianship alone stands as a tribute to their great genius ...then add comic timing!!! Unbelievable!!!
awesome! i cry with laughter at the bits when chico plays the lully a by music and harpo goes 2 sleep on his shoulder :P and when hes laughing whilst slamming the keys lmao gr8
Fantastic dut... and yes Harpo played piano all his life. The music was not prerecorder" as such , but the synching of the soundtrack and film did not alwyas match up. They are really playing that. There would not have been any stand-in players for Harpo. Long Live the Marx Brothers!
i know ive heard harpo's only an amateur pianist but his playing always confuses me... he can definitely play the fast runs in rach's prelude in c sharp min. but at 1:15 you can see harpo is clearly not playing the notes you are hearing and his hands aren't even in the right octave. I always wonder how much marx music is prerecorded? all of it? shed some light someone
andoneandtwoandthreeandfour.... Where's the merrygoround....there can't be one, because by the end, the kids would be flying all over the place, loveit. It's so funny.
my old music teacher used to go on at me about not holding my hands right when we were using the keyboards. I think if she'd played chico marx clips at the beginning of each lesson, I would have cared enough to listen to her. I always hated piano and keyboard so i never actually learnt it, but now I've discoverred Marx Brothers, chico makes me want to learn!
Hard to believe that Harpo was completely bald. He was the faithful husband while Chico had any woman he wanted. Harpo adopted four kids with his wife. May he RIP
Harpo was not bald, you can see some of his home videos here on youtube, he had black hair like Chicos, look closely in this clip, and you can see it at the back of his head when his wig raises up a little. ;)
My info came from IMDB and a biography of Groucho by Charlotte Brooks. Also, he was my grandfather's neighbor in California. Anyway, he was just a nice person and enjoyed life.
Incredible performance! These two brothers had more talent in their big toes than 99% of performers today. I can't imagine anyone today doing this act (not to mention their regular comic genius stuff). WE SORELY MISS THEM!
Yeah, Harpo plays like me! (I favor the one-fingered technique or the approach simply known colloquially as BASH-BASH-BASH! It's the best way to play piano. It helps if you've never had a lesson.. or are a cat.) ;)

Incredible performance! These two brothers had more talent in their big toes than 99% of performers today. I can't imagine anyone today doing this act (not to mention their regular comic genius stuff). WE SORELY MISS THEM!

This scene w/ Harpo & Chico gives me a warm fuzzy feeling inside.

LOL...you have to watch carefully to see that Harpo is actually playing only one key at a time.

Yeah, Harpo plays like me! (I favor the one-fingered technique or the approach simply known colloquially as BASH-BASH-BASH! It's the best way to play piano. It helps if you've never had a lesson.. or are a cat.) ;)
