She is the real thing. As incredible as it sounds, she’s a stride pianist, but not in some stuffy backward- looking academic way, but, to repeat, she’s the real thing. How terrific she is and how lucky we are.
Her family have heard this incredible mastery all day every day for years! - they're not going to stand on ceremony to give applause and appreciation!....
Just one other note: I appreciate she's playing at home, but the people listening, presumably her family, don't seem to offer any appreciation. If I were there, I couldn't help but applaud or say something to reflect my appreciation.
I could be mistaken, but I seem to recall her commenting that it was too much of an interval for her reach, so she had to sort of "grace note" them, hitting the lower note first and then the higher note in quick succession.
Never thought I'd see see someone so talented follow in the footsteps of that great 'Queen of the Piano', Winifred Atwell. I wonder if Stephanie will become as versatile as Winnie.
What i want to know is this...if/when I tried to play something like this my fingers lock up, my mind shuts down, my back aches and my eyes glaze over. What am I doing wrong lol I might just manage the final arpeggio...on a good day. Stepanie makes it look so easy.. Wonderful .
@aknabea It might take superior talent, but it also takes a lot of hard work to get this good. I think that the effort she has put in is far more commendable.
The arrangement is actually by Louis Mazetier, who did indeed infuse his version with several Lambertisms, although Lambert never recorded this piece, and I am not aware that he played it. Louis is Lambert's modern day John the Baptist.
Whoever operated the camera was apparently overtaken by violently spasmodic gas while filming. Fortunately the music was great and Stephanie was beautiful and so this is a great video regardless.
"turn in one's grave: used to describe the upset, disgust, horror or anger of a deceased person if he or she were alive to hear of a certain news story, action or idea - especially a negative one." Fats would certainly NOT be rolling over in his grave about this. I'd say he'd be "grinning ear to ear," but everyone that's been in the ground that long grins ear to ear....
here's a new one you might not otherwise find.... OK, YT won't let me paste the link (to their site), so just search this.... Nouveau Stride - Rules of the Park
First, she plays a medley of "Troublesome Ivories" by Eubie Blake and "Modernistic" by James P. Johnson, then starting at 6:42 she plays "Harlem Strut" by James P. Johnson.
Tito Céliz You're so right, Tito. She looks like the girl next door and plays like an angel. But I'm equally in love with Chloe Feoranzo for the same reasons. Try her !
Stephanie Trick is marvelous, and getting even better. Stride is really back!
The look on her face while she plays makes it clear how much she loves what she does.
Her playing matches her looks, Stunning!
She speed and accuracy of that left hand is amazing. I'm totally in awe.
Right hand is amazing as well. Listen at 1:44. This piece is Rialto Ripples if anyone cares.
Those flying, dancing fingers are simply hypnotic.
When she cracks that smile - it's GAME OVER -best and lovliest piano playing.we will ever hear or see in our lifetimes..
Those flying dancing fingers are simply hypnotic
Man! Anything less than a Steinway wouldn't survive that! What a darling lovely talented angel.
Stephanie is very pleasing on the eye and ear great playing young lady
This one just gets BETTER and BETTER... Just How HOT can a piano get??
I LOVE IT!!!!
She is the real thing. As incredible as it sounds, she’s a stride pianist, but not in some stuffy backward- looking academic way, but, to repeat, she’s the real thing. How terrific she is and how lucky we are.
I could fall in love with Stephanie and her piano playing. Unfortunately I came into this world 50 years too soon!
Claude Greene
Claude Greene Think exactly same

There are talented women and there are beautiful women....then there is Stephanie Trick.
Just one other note: I appreciate she's playing at home, but the people listening, presumably her family, don't seem to offer any appreciation. If I were there, I couldn't help but applaud or say something to reflect my appreciation.
Love her. She's a genius. Thanks for this.

Superlative, Stephanie!
So cool! Love it!
Oh yeah that's the stuff !!!!!
Chapeau,fantastic!
An un-appreciation for true talent
That was impressive ! Very nice !
Great!!!thanks.
I could be mistaken, but I seem to recall her commenting that it was too much of an interval for her reach, so she had to sort of "grace note" them, hitting the lower note first and then the higher note in quick succession.
As a guitar player skilled piano players and there left hand action is crazy lookin
Genius. 🥰
Sorprendente. Bravissima.
Never thought I'd see see someone so talented follow in the footsteps of that great 'Queen of the Piano', Winifred Atwell. I wonder if Stephanie will become as versatile as Winnie.
She plays Classical, Ragtime, Stride and Jazz Standards, versatile enough for you?
BRAVAAAAAA
Стефочка,королева рояля!❤
Hi, hi, hi !!!

@BugattiD 1. Troublesome Ivories by Eubie Blake, 2. Troublesome Ivories, again from the top, 3. Harlem Strut by James P. Johnson
What i want to know is this...if/when I tried to play something like this my fingers lock up, my mind shuts down, my back aches and my eyes glaze over.
What am I doing wrong lol
I might just manage the final arpeggio...on a good day.
Stepanie makes it look so easy..
Wonderful .
Dziewczyna gra perfekcyjnie! I jak cudownie się uśmiecha! Przeurocza... :)
To hell with the camera. My only question revolves around why the piano didn’t burst into flames. Jeez, what playing!
'I' loves you Stephanie; aye right, if only 'I' was 20 years younger...
@aknabea It might take superior talent, but it also takes a lot of hard work to get this good. I think that the effort she has put in is far more commendable.
The cameraman is tripping dude! I wish the camera had stayed locked on her hands?
💖
he is on the Rag !
"Ain't that troublesome? Sh-------------oh' is!" Eubie Blake
Original title was Black Keys on Parade. Also recorded under the title, Ragtime Rag. Sometimes confused with " Tricky Fingers ".
Just watching this makes my left forearm sore :-P
The first arrangement of "Troublesome Ivories" sounds like a Donald Lambert arrangement... correct?
The arrangement is actually by Louis Mazetier, who did indeed infuse his version with several Lambertisms, although Lambert never recorded this piece, and I am not aware that he played it. Louis is Lambert's modern day John the Baptist.
oh how i wish my girlfriend knew how to play piano like you.
( ive been playing for 21 years!)
Can you play Finger Buster by Willie The Lion Smith?
love you - please write back!
Troublesome Ivories (Eubie Blake)
Not completely -- the second part is from "Modernistic" by James P. Johnson
Гениально!..
Anyone know what the first song she played is?
tricky fingers by Eubie Blake????
jelly roll's "finger buster"?
AAAAAGGGGHHHHH!!!!!
Whoever operated the camera was apparently overtaken by violently spasmodic gas while filming. Fortunately the music was great and Stephanie was beautiful and so this is a great video regardless.
What is the name of this song?
What are the names of the tunes she plays?
Like-ity-like-like. Yowza!
time for me to quit and get rid of my old upright, Here she is here it is!
Y O U A R E G O D , I meant GOOD - I love ya! You're GREAT!!! A++++
Oh, if I was that piano! Or that bench.
