Recorded on Saturday 17 November 2007 at the 21st annual West Coast Ragtime Festival, in Sacramento, California.
She is an incredible talent. I love her playing!
One of the most astonishing piano performances I've ever heard in 40 years of pursuing this line of music. I must say that even the great Jelly Roll himself would have taken his hat off for this, which is near perfect and played at a faster tempo than Morton's main version. I'm in awe...
Amazing. Never thought I would hear anyone play Morton’s Fingerbreaker but here she does it. Yes most amazing modern piano piece I have heard.
When she starts pounding away with the left hand I lose it LOL. Wonderful
Absolutely Amazing. The girl must have a few invisible fingers that make this performance possible!
Thanks for this post! 5 STARS!

Stephanie...BEST Stride pianist nowadays mein!!!!!
Ms. Trick has a bag full of tricks. She is delightful and this was a joy to hear live!
Lovely pianist, Im Impressed with this difficult number!!
this song was in legend of 1900!
could listen to her all day and wish I had practised when I had the chance.
Alors là, j'ai un respect immense pour cette demoiselle.
Que linda vc é e com seta habilidade no piano, é sinal de grande trabalho e dom musical parabens
Please don't break your fingers Stephanie !! They are precious.
Stephanie just gets better all the time
loving the outfit!!!
Brilliant, she is absolutely brilliant.
She's awesome!!
For free is unlikely as Keepr 1st said. But you can get an exact transcription of what Morton played (reproduced fairly closely by this lady) in a book by James Dapogny (the reference is in the wikipedia page for Jelly Roll)
damn girl! keep on playing!
Fingerbreaker?It breaks my heart to hear it played at such speed and to such perfection.She is truly a wonderful pianiste.A joy to listen to and to behold!What a a pleasure.What has Missouri done to earn this?
....the "scarbo" of jazz pianists....amazing!!
You can actually see the person with the horn honking it if you look up the video called "Brad Kay and Janet Klein, Automobile song". It's a funny song from the earliest days of the automobile too. (There were a lot of songs that suggested that automobiles were terrible, infernal machines; this one suggests that automobile owners were just as bad.)
Now this is amazing ^^ Uff...I wanna play like her
Stephanie must be one of the top players in USA. She's 21 here. I always thought she was alot younger because she look like a teenager here.
Wow! Amazing!
You are Incredible !
She's older than I thought. She was born in 1986, so she's 22 now and was 21 at the time of this video.
A bit of news: Stephanie will be performing this weekend in Boswil, Switzerland, at the Stride & Swing Piano Summit. And of course, she'll be at the 2008 West Coast Ragtime Festival in Sacramento next month.
Really, really good!
What a delight! Keep it up!!
Stephanie now has a web site with information about her CDs and when her next performances will be. A link has been added to the description of this video (stephanietrick with a dotcom at the end). She also now has a UA-cam account, "stephtrick".
Incredible!!!
wow! what talent! very good!
Pity it's played on such a 'tinny' piano, even though many might argue it lends some 'authenticity'.
Great playing of a REALLY difficult piece. Well done.
Bravissima!!!
World class!!
Amazing!
It's not how fast it's played. This girl isn't the fastest I've heard (
Excellent. This girl has the feel of ragtime down pat!
I'm in love.
oh i remember this it was on the movie: the legend of 1900
amazing!
Wow! Nicely done.
And she needs a web site or something so people can find out where she's performing or how to get recordings!
I'm glad. Well for her.
Not sure... 18 or 19 now I think. She was part of the Youth Concert at that festival, but also was listed among "Performers 18-25" which suggests she was 18... but she's been an undergraduate since at least 2006 and is expected to graduate college in 2009. I've never actually asked her age nor recall anyone mentioning it.
Impresive
At the time of this recording, she was 21.
I've had comments in many languages over the years, but yours is the first in Mongolian! Neat!
This girl can really play stride with the feeling of ragtime, which is what Jelly intended.
She's got supernatural hands. Unbelievably superb.
"B R I L L I A N T" I second that!
Knock your socks off!

amazing O_O
This is really just an exhibition piece. You must appreciate the lightning hands and precision.
But most great pianists can do this piece. I don't consider this to be music. It is finger gymnastics calculated to impress the uninitiated. Look at some of Stephanie's other posts to see her real talent.
GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Clapping with a bike horn?!? (at the very end)
+dugroz Yep, an old guy in an electric wheelchair used a horn as a form of applause.
+Keeper1st Huh. Well, there we go!
I don't think a piece with this title can be played "too fast" as long as you play it cleanly. The point of it is to play it as fast as you can.
Keeper1st
very good
That's about as clueless a comment as you could possibly make. There is absolutely no musicality in this performance (sadly)
@@njdenney69then why does everyone love it anyway? Clown!
WOW!!!!
good song cinè
At the time of this video, she was 21.
My dad can stride faster than anybody I've ever seen/met
Yes, I agree!
Does anybody knows/have the music sheet of this piece I need it for my examination
Well, this festival happens every November, and Stephanie has become a fixture, so it's likely she'll be there again this year. You have time to plan! She'll probably be playing at the Scott Joplin Ragtime Festival in Sedalia too, since she lives in Missouri. That festival happens the first weekend of June.
There's time to plan!
bloody hell!
best performance of this piece on here! [and I've just sat through quite a few!!!]
very impressive! how old is she?
O M G
This is just great. Better than Dick Hyman's (amazing) version, because her time feel is better. She's got a very solid underlying rhythm, she's not rushing at all, and her sound is very rich and deep. Awesome playing. YOU GO, WOMAN!!!
how old is she? that must have took ages!
Well, ragtime music was/is often called "intoxicating"!
So it should, since that is the time period it came from, though this tune is from quite a bit later -- 1938.
I like how every uploader comment dissed the one that he was responding to hahaha
Dear Stephanie! Would you like to merry me? Andy.
❤️
not bad for her age... really cool
That's a 9-foot Yamaha. It's definitely not a tinny piano. The camera only recorded audio at 11 kHz though. That's what makes it sound a bit weak.
@MsCaleb79 Uh, no. She's from St Louis, Missouri.
@Keeper1st
She is Alien D:
Having been published in 1938, and thanks to the Bono Bill that froze the passing of anything into the public domain at the year 1923, the sheet music for this is still under copyright, so alas, you're not likely to find it available for free, even though music this old isn't popular enough anymore for anyone to attempt to make money off of it. Sheet music from the '20s and '30s largely must be passed around from person to person. I don't have the music, so can't let you "borrow" it...
Stephanie Trick plays at a high level, usually only certain people can play.
Select your level of piano!:
1. Easy
2. Medium
3. Hard
4. Asian
I guess stephanie tried it the asian way...
lol this is what morton plays in the legend of 1900 XD
Supernatural
@ASirensSoliloquy art tatum has the rcon
@NinjaDaddy She's American.
@MCCXK120 you gotta be kidding, his "psudo-arrangement" is playing 1320401234040 notes nothing to do with the real piece, there are "arrangements" and things out of context entirely. This is a marvelous performance of THE PIECE. Dick Hyman is a Pro Pianist, but this piece "played" by him has nothing to do with the real piece.
oh...
Yep, that's her bowler.
I hope I won't get struck by lightening if I say that this version is a bit better than JRM's. Her technique is at least at the same level, and she wisely changes it towards the end where he overdoes the glissando thing. This doesn't mean she is necessarily a better pianist than he was. He never played the same piece the same way twice, so you never know what he would have done if he could play it now.
sheni mona var dgeidan :D
That was awesome ! I would have liked it even better if it was played a bit slower but it was great nonetheless.
No swing but the execution is perfect, clean
Hard to swing when you're playing at 350bpm
She recently became engaged.
Эээ бурхан тэнгэр минь Finger breaker тоголдог охин байншт :0 Шүтээнийг минь бүүр аймар тоглохийн гайхалтай
Her performance is better than Jelly himself!
She is good, very good, but Jelly is the best
ive uploaded dick hymans version after not being able to find, have to say this isnt very far away from perfect
Why doesn't she perform any Tatum pieces?
Santosificationable way too difficult
The only other person who approaches the speed of Dick Hyman's version.
She got them all right, But no swing in it.
I guess she is just full of TRICKS ;p
Hehe :D
Quanto Cristo sei bravaa?? Magari sapessi suonare io il pianoforte!!!
See Dick Hyman's version- better by a country mile.
She's using aimbot and wall hacks.
She did a really good job.
5 stars.
(But I think I can do better)
