This volume offers the first publication of twelve stylistically diverse compositions for the constant companion of Florence Price’s musical life: the solo piano. All are edited directly from the autographs and most recovered from the abandoned house in St. Anne, Illinois, where a sizeable trove of the composer’s work was discovered in 2009. Including two rollicking scherzo-like compositions and two extraordinary contributions to her beloved genre of the piano waltz, the works presented here range from intermediate to early-advanced difficulty and offer a vivid and endearing portrait of the boundless musical imagination of Florence B. Price – pianist, teacher, and composer.
