    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...

    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)

    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.)

    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.

    @Keeper1st  16 років тому +2

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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!!!

  • @Keeper1st

    So it should, since that is the time period it came from, though this tune is from quite a bit later -- 1938.

    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.

    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...

    @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.

    @whatsmylogin 14 років тому

    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.
