3 dislikes? I guess Anitra didn't dance with those people.

[veryfussy]

Just fabulous. The start seems a little off putting but the stride interpretation is mind boggling. How come you are so clever?

Graham.

[HaardBaroque]

Great playing! ... and for sure, it didn´t take the way I expected =D

[ThePhilojazz]

awesome. 

[rgm1927]

She is simply great and stride piano needs such gifted young people to keep this precious art alive.

Lambert's powerful left hand is a thing of exquisite beauty and may never be quite equaled again. His hands were quite small and he could not reach tenths so he had to roll them but he bangs those bottom stride notes with unequaled brilliant force and precision. Wow!

I switched from 'keep your Temper' to this vid. and when I heard the stilted start I thought I it must be another Stephanie.

Then all hell broke loose.

Love it

Wonderful.

Thank you !

Stepahnie must be one of the most "up and coming" pianists in the world taday. I can't believe that anyone would dislike this.

Stephanie Trick, if this is your channel, just wanna let you know I really enjoyed this! I wish I was half as good on guitar as you are on the piano...! That was truly awesome......

[nezkeys79]

[neechiwa]

My name is Anitra so I'm always interested in renditions of this piece of classical music - Stephanie is a great musician - I really enjoyed this!

[Joethebeagle1]

[fantasyfiend12]

Wow

[richalk]

[rtpress]

No. But there's a Donald Lambert folio published by BlueBlackJazz that has it.

[richalk]

thanks for the info, great performance

[helmut4lyfe]

It sounded as if I was listening to Donald Lambert. Amazing.

[Italblessings]

Excellent!

[TerrenceDuncan2009]

Wonder why Stephanie's video always got so little view counts. She should've been one of the best pianist on Youtube.

[michelesouris]

Stephanie - Absolutely brilliant. Thanks from Mikey

[Albertalice1]

[melaniemooo94]

[itsjerrytime]

I'm in love.

[chevychase]

Fantastic!!!! Bravo!!!

[Lollyllio]

wow...

[muekam]

brilliant

[martinst77]

I love the piece and the interpretation. But Anitras Dance is from Edvard "Grieg" (not "Greig" ...)

[KawhackitaRag]

This is very a good version of this arrangement!

She doesn't take out most of Lambert's syncopation in the right hand, unlike SOMEONE we know!

The trick in getting Lambert's stuff to sound right (besides the requisite complicated syncopation) is to get EXACTLY the right touch on the low bass notes... they should be clean, well-defined, and sound more like a double bass than a piano. Lambert only used pedal on the slow numbers, almost never on the fast ones like this.

[bigstriderman]

Hey, I like this better than the original Jersey Rocket version!

[jsteeber]

Superior coordination! Hats off gentlemen...

[ragtimebuddy]

I believe this is Donald Lambert's arrangement.  This is excellent!
