1. This is boogie woogie.

It was popularized in the 1920's and 30's but had origins in the 1800's. It certainly shows up again in piano rock and roll of the 50's.

3. I hear a boogie-woogie phrase in the finale of Dvorak's New World Symphony, composed in 1893.

He likely heard some boogie woogie during his time in America.

Antonin Dvorak: “I am convinced that the future music of this country must be founded on what are called Negro melodies. These can be the foundation of a serious and original school of composition, to be developed in the United States. These beautiful and varied themes are the product of the soil. They are the folk songs of America and your composers must turn to them.”

The boogie woogie I'm hearing begins at 39:15.

Dvorak: Symphony No. 9 "From the New World" Eugene Ormandy; Philadelphia Orchestra (1956)

6. Big Joe Turner scored a massive hit in 1954

with Shake, Rattle and Roll.
His voice was so BIG he didn't need a microphone.
The piano here is a bit more stride.
