CAPRICE RAG | Stephanie Trick
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 окт 2024
- This is my version of an early solo by James P. Johnson, “Caprice Rag,” which contributed to Johnson’s respected status as the Father of Stride Piano. It’s a barnburner! For many years, he was also affectionately referred to as the “Dean of Jazz Pianists.” Johnson made a piano roll of “Caprice Rag” in 1917 and then a sound recording of it in 1923 as well as much later on in his career, in 1943. I’ve always admired Dick Hyman’s 1975 masterful recording of “Caprice Rag” and took it as a starting point for some capricious variations of my own. I hope you enjoy it!

Clapping my hands and cheering.
Great Stephanie! 🎹 👍
Surely all of us who love to hear the piano are truly enjoying your playing. Vote #10.
One word somes this up. Phenomenal!
Fantastique, brillant, joyeux nous en voulons encore d’autres comme ce rag. Merci
Delightful - makes me so happy I want to scare the neighbors by getting up and dancing wildly to it! 😀
So innocent and demure looking, and then you put your hands on the piano and play like the Tasmanian Devil and the whirling dervishes all put together. Whee!
Spot-on comment!!!
Mille bravos ! Ces ragtimes sont des petits chefs d'oeuvre, et nous replongent dans l'ambiance de l'Amérique du début du XX° siècle. Très gais, très charmants, et...très difficiles à jouer aussi. Ce sont des pièces classiques, comme Chopin ou autre. La main gauche, avec les "pompes" à deux octaves, changeant sur chaque temps, est encore plus impressionnante que la droite. Pas une faute. Une perfection ! Grand bravo, et merci ! Ca fait très plaisir de réentendre cette musique, qui était encore jouée, et écoutée, il y a 30 ans, mais plus beaucoup maintenant, malheureusement.
Wow! Go magic fingers. James Johnsons is beaming with pleasure. Thanks, Steph.
Young lady you are truly fantastic. Thank you for the fabulous entertainment.
Golly- Ned!!! Stephanie, that was pure and simple fun and cool!!!😅 Lots of love from Gene in Tennessee.
I love Rags but I was not familiar with the Caprice Rag so that's what caught my eye. Really love this. Thank you!
Bravooooo….Encore….Superb flawless performance Stephanie…That’s the icing on the cake on this Sunday night …Slainte from Ireland
Eyes getting dizzy from following your hands, Stephanie 🎹
Absolutely wonderful- love Margot and Wolfgang
With a thumbnail of Stephanie Trick playing something by James P. Johnson I knew to expect something energetic....but this starts rolling right out the gate. This piece fascinated me so much I immediately listened to the original and then again watched Stephanie's version. While I like Stephanie's version better I must admit to not being objective. James P. Johnson's version (that he wrote) is very powerful and a very heavy touch. (Nonetheless, a masterpiece....the fact that "(The music is synced to a trolley ride down Market St. in San Francisco circa 1905.) gives further interest since I grew in San Francisco). Stephanie's version uses a very sensitive touch that doesn't bowl you over but gives rise to shifts and dynamics allowing for the frenetic parts to really stand out...in my very humble opinion.
Entertaining and impressive.
Damn,she has some serious talent.
Love this !
So effervescent, so invigorating.
Wowie Zowie !
Thanks so much, Bill!
Stephanie , you are above Perfection when Performing . I’ve been watching you for a long time and you’re Magnificent. I have a favorite if that’s possible. When you and Dick Hyman performed together . “ I’ll See You in My Dream’s “ . We can hardly see you but it’s a great video of your music. Maybe it’s just a favorite song L.o.l. Anyway ,I can’t get enough of it. Stay happy . Love listening to you and Paolo together . Have a great day. Love and Hug’s. ♥️🥰Chris. ♥️🎶🥀🎶♥️
c'est James P qui a du apprecier de la haut !!! superbe interprétation!
You and James are wonderful, it’s a treat and I adore your CD ❤

DAMN!!!!!! That is just CRAZY GOOD!!!
Hello, I discovered this wonderful channel yesterday, listening to the sublime "Tornerai". I swear, you put on a show! So I thought of two songs that would be a huge hit in his magical hands; they are: "Mr. Sandman" and "On a Bicycle For Two". Happiness and sucess!
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it!
Stephanie always a pleasure to hear you play. Thanks Steph.
Skvelé ovládanie klavíra a unikátna verzia 👍🌹
Molto divertente, bravissima!
Amazing!!Thanks S!!
You are so fabulous! Wow.
Amazing!!!! Thank you! 🤩

Maravilhosa interpretação vc é excelente parabens!!
Beautifully played! Classical touch on a stride piece is always brilliant!
... what a performance 😳, good, very good Stephanie...
Fantastica!!!!!❤
Bravo pour cette magnifique version! Quelle superbe performance; merci et bonjour de Suisse😀
Superlative!! and I think that this is your best version of Caprice rag
Holy Moly! This is just crazy good! Such speed, accuracy and wonderful sound!! You and Paolo have been busy lately posting so many videos lately...seems like every few days.
Excellent-- thank you!
Channel deserves a lot more subs.!!!
!!! *BRAVO* !!!
Wow! James P would have loved it, bravo for this new subtle arrangement with nice surprises. It's bright and swinging.
Thanks so much!
I ♥Stephanie!
You are the master! Plus the new do is cute AF.
Extraordinary talent! But I cannot imagine the time she has devoted to the piano over many years. Thank you, Stephanie, for doing this for us.
Sempre strepitosa Stephanie!
This is right up there with Jim Turner and the composer's original, but also unique in a wonderfully intriguing way! Love it! Thank you for sharing your amazing skills.
Brilliant!
AWESOME!!
You have no idea how difficult this is to play, james p was something else, and i suppose so is Trick!
I can`t say more than I have often said, but I must say it again: wonderful!
Just wow! I love your solos because I get to see how brilliant a pianist you are in your own right. BTW, do you and Paolo record a whole batch of these in one go and then post up one a week, or do record a new one each week?
One of a kind !
Applause Fabulous! .More applause.
Her brain is definitely different to mine in being able to control our hands doing complementary but different things.👏👏👏
Impressive performance. I'm in awe
Great performance! I have a request... Desecration Rag. It's a really fun "modern" rag, funny and very... desecrating ;)
I’m sure, somehow, that you played Caprice Rag faster than JPJ, and Dick Hyman. It’s lovely to see you play closeup Stephanie! I’m worn out just watching😂
Outstanding ❤🎉
Brilliant! How do you do the left hand notes so accurately? I’ve played the Over the Bars by PJ Johnson but I can’t get it quick and accurate like you. You’re both phenomenal!
What a joy and what a delight! Oh, if only James P. Johnson experienced what a master pianist can do with his composition.
Thankfully he DID get to experience that. Here is one of the versions he was privileged to hear:
ruclips.net/video/vOiHpMN5JNE/видео.htmlsi=gMocfg5r24wwdV4N
Thank you for this link! I did not know this recording. Nevertheless: I find the version by James P. Johnson (i.e. his own interpretation) technically brilliant and rapidly played, but uninspired and actually soulless. In contrast, Stephanie Trick plays relaxed, with verve and emotion. Definitely outstanding, in my opinion.@@johnandmarie7250
@@theomichaelschmitt8867 you prefer her version. Fair enough she is a master pianist and a joy. However your inference that JPJ, the composer of the tune and a pioneer of the style, was NOT a master pianist is a bit rough. His version was recorded late in his life after a stroke and other setbacks, on a questionable instrument using period gear and techniques. He influenced Duke, Basie, Tatum, Waller, Monk, et al. He wrote The Charleston for heaven’s sake! A true and indisputable American Master.
Dear johnandmarie,
thank you for your feedback. Again: I did not know the circumstances of J.P.J.'s recording. I did by no means intend to say that he was NOT a master pianist. If I gave this impression, I apologise. I should rather have said "his version SOUNDS ... uninspired" etc. @@johnandmarie7250
Great STEPHANIE were is Paolo?
You are fantastic. How do you get your left hand to play so fast?
Super !!! Wojtek, Polen.
wow
Vc é o maximo linda parabens pianista maravilhosa
♥️¡¡ TE AMO ESTEBANA‼️🌹

Since 20 years.
Unknown to me 👏
💖
🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆💯💯💯❤️❤️❤️
I hope dear old Paulo was making himself a nice cup of non alcoholics arm lubricant.
Left one in particular
Hehehehe
I'm more partial to James P Johnson than Joplin. Works like this one are more in the piano novelty genre. Great playing at 1/4 note =220. 3:07
Close to the best stride ever
bravi dove posso vedervi ? mi fate impazzire come suonate
Grazie! Ecco il nostro sito dove mettiamo il calendario di concerti: www.paoloandstephanie.com/schedule
'Writing a song about stride piano, Isn't all that easy to do. You gotta dive in, but where to begin? The mere idea might frighten you. Writing lyrics to stride music, you're in trouble right away. It's fast and busy, it'll make you dizzy, spitting out what you need to say!'
Oh, yes!! Delightful lyrics of the inimitable Lorraine Feather! 😅
Its genius :) @@StephanieTrickPaoloAlderighi
She is so great. Watching her hands on keys makes me dizzy.
c'est James P qui a du apprecier de la haut !!! superbe interprétation!
Brilliant !
