Thank you so much for sharing Price's music. With the recent publications of many of her and Bonds' works, I have become a huge proponent of performing her works. More pianists (if not all) should have experience performing the works of these great American composers.
What transporting piano music. I had not heard of Florence Price until a member of Pianostreet posted a link to this video. I shall now commence listening to as much of her music as I can find.
Wonderful! I recorded her complete piano sonata on my album wavetheoryrecords.com/album/four-women/ and I have also uploaded performances of different movements. Enjoy!
Hadn’t heard of Price until this week (already posted some of her music to Facebook) and also new to your exceptional playing. Became an instant subscriber to your channel. Thank you for this marvelous upload. I’m so happy I found you both!
Sparkly impressionistic pops of color juxtaposed with sultry bluesy nods to sung spirituals, played in a way that conveys intimate knowledge of and confidence with the idiom. this is a splendid upload that could only be ameliorated with live video of your playing , but it's only a nice to have not a need to have. I hear this and if I didnt know who wrote it I would swear it was written by William Grant Still. **applause
Thank you so much! And as always, I truly appreciate you taking the time to comment! Yes, I would agree with thinking the composer was William Grant Still if I didn't know otherwise. By the way, I will upload a live performance later this year as I'll be performing this quite a bit.
Saw your Tweet this a.m., came looking and here you are. Very interesting music. Must listen again. And your piano sounds better to me than any other. Go figure:)
Thank you for recording this. Sounds great! I'd like to learn some of Price's piano music. You did a live video of her Piano Sonata which I enjoyed, but it would be nice if you could re-record (video) the Sonata and post it like you posted the Fantasie Negre, because the sound quality is so much better on the Fantasie than it was for the Sonata in the very echoing hall.
Was recently introduced to Florence Price by a friend and I find this piece so beautiful. Does anyone know where I could find a score?? I cannot find one to purchase anywhere online, and libraries are all closed due to COVID...
@@alexisbarton1073 My fingers are crossed that your teacher approves. Feel free to get in touch with me via my website if you have any queries about the work or if you need further resources. www.musicherstories.com All the best!
@@SamanthaEge I was going crazy the last few hours trying to find the score. Then decided to check the comments section of your video and got lucky! It shouldn't be this hard to find the score of such an amazing composer... Thank you!
A friend’s mom just introduced me to Florence Price today after church worship. I didn’t know we had such an elegant and powerful composer in America.
Samantha, you made it easier for me to play classical music around my friends as a black guy...lol.
Wonderful composition, wonderful interpretation

This was so intense! Just discovered Price! She is Amazing, and so is Samantha Ege. What a performance! Bravo.
Thank you! That's wonderful to hear you enjoyed the music and my playing so much. I'm sure you'll enjoy your new Florence Price adventure!
Beautiful singing!

Thanks for the link, I have just bought that album and look forward to listening in depth through my hi-fi, and in the comfort of my listening chair.
Fabulous. Thank you for bringing this to our ears
Brilliant interpretation of a brilliant piece of music, Just breathtaking!
Beautiful!

Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed my interpretation. I will be releasing an album around the fantasies very soon!

Sinner Please... I've loved this melody forever. Thank you for this splendid performance!

I just purchased from Apple and listened to your Four Women album. Love it. Gave it a 5-star rating. I will be looking for future albums from you.
Much appreciated!
Thank you.

I'm glad you found my recording and enjoyed it. Thank you for your comment!
This is an inspiring performance! It is played with great skill and feeling. Thank you.
Beautiful rendition! I adore this piece and you’ve done a brilliant and sensitive performance.
Thank you, Roxanne!

I recorded the whole sonata on my Four Women album (available on iTunes, Amazon, Spotify etc.), enjoy!
