    Her sense of timing is comically and emotionally the best I have heard in a long time reminds me of 20 century

    WOW!!! Brava!! I discovered this piece by accident and now I think I found a new favorite performer, AND composer! I love Price’s rhythms and rich harmonic structures. Fantastic piece, thank you for sharing this performance.

    I'm glad to see Florence Price's compositions finally being recognized in the public eye! It's a shame though that despite her talent and genius, she was still treated less than because of the color of her skin. An amazing figure in history nonetheless! Thank you Florence Price!

      I just discovered this composer on satellite radio a few weeks ago when they were profiling composers of color. I immediately took a liking to Florence Price's music in particular. I definitely hear some of that Russian melancholy that I love, even if she's not Russian herself. Music is for everyone. Gonna explore her, and this pianist, a bit more.

    Ahhhh why is this women not EVERYWHERE? I used to be a pianists. Perhaps we have other pianists in the comments. But from the first couple of bars you know. I was like “damn she’s good.” And as I listened, I was even more floored. It was the phrasing, the expert use of dynamics, you can literally hear the assuredness in her playing… the playing sounded world class. So I looked at the description - and no wonder - she TEACHES at the Curtis Institute of Music. That’s THE school (Lang Lang and Yuja Wang both went there toward the end of their formative years.) That school consistently produces exquisite pianists. Now it makes sense. And in this video there is a certain quality to the playing and phrasing you simply don’t hear in other pianists who are top recording artists. That Curtis jury, man they are just seasoned at picking crème de la crème artists. When I lived in Philly would go and listen to the piano recitals, and even their weakest pianist (for lack of a better word) was through the rough phenomenal. So this video was a real treat.

    I am rarely impressed by a composer I have not discovered yet, a rare talent. Beautiful attention to color, a unique style and convincing mastery of compositional technique. Impressed on first listen. Wow.

  • @catkeys6911

    Such purely *American* "classical"-style music! Price was truly *Priceless* ! Parts of it remind me, a little, of Gershwin (a favorite of mine). But I think I like Price even better, I really do, it seems a bit more sophisticated. And I'm a white boy. Wonderful, expressive performance!

    What a delightful masterpiece! It's so passionate, with a style seemingly (at least to me) somewhere between Chopin and Rachmaninov, with modern accents of the late American Rachmaninov. I also love your interpretations of Price's more jazzy pieces. Thank you so much Michelle, for bringing this so talented composer to my ear! May you keep enlighten us with such a heavy music.
    All the best!

    This is such a wonderful piece, and I'm so glad that Florence Price is finally getting the recognition she deserves. When she was still alive there was still bias on gender of the composer as well as the colour of their skin. Price's output was not insignificant in quantity as well as, of course, being of great quality.
    Michelle gives such a wonderful and heartfelt interpretation of this, too. Simply beautiful.

    Wonderful playing. I'm glad I've heard this piece now, and I just ordered the music (Schirmer). The first movement reminds me of Dohnanyi and Grieg, with, of course, totally new flavors, too. And I love the vocal nature of the second movement theme. And it's satisfying to hear this kind of music, almost like Dvorak, but without a feeling of adaptation (which is a silly thing to say, it's kind of like when Milhaus says "It's like Speed 2, but with a bus instead of a boat). But that's the nature of, sadly, problems with underrepresentation, there aren't adequate terms and vocabulary, so I end up saying double reversed things like "this sounds like purified Dvorak" instead of in its own terms. Does that make sense? Well, on it's on terms, what a beautiful piece! Anyhoo, great playing! I'm looking forward to getting the music in the mail!

    So lovely! What a splendid piece, covering so much emotional territory. I hear echoes of Dvorak, but with a distinctly unique idiom. I've just ordered the sheet music. Are you planning to record this piece? If so, I'll be first in line to get your recording!

    This piece is of the Romantic era by virtue of it's style and sonority. I noticed in the first movement the Chopin-like chromatic progressions....changing ever so sharply. Under all this I hear a familiar early American negro spiritual which prevades throughout this generous 2nd movement.
