Clapping my hands and cheering.

[@62mhc]

One word somes this up. Phenomenal!

[@Philwett2]

Fantastique, brillant, joyeux nous en voulons encore d’autres comme ce rag. Merci

[@williampaganucci1084]

Great Stephanie! 🎹 👍

[@ffstopP]

Wow! Go magic fingers. James Johnsons is beaming with pleasure. Thanks, Steph.

[@Ouhconmerde]

Mille bravos ! Ces ragtimes sont des petits chefs d'oeuvre, et nous replongent dans l'ambiance de l'Amérique du début du XX° siècle. Très gais, très charmants, et...très difficiles à jouer aussi. Ce sont des pièces classiques, comme Chopin ou autre. La main gauche, avec les "pompes" à deux octaves, changeant sur chaque temps, est encore plus impressionnante que la droite. Pas une faute. Une perfection ! Grand bravo, et merci ! Ca fait très plaisir de réentendre cette musique, qui était encore jouée, et écoutée, il y a 30 ans, mais plus beaucoup maintenant, malheureusement.

[@brianbrown4211]

Young lady you are truly fantastic. Thank you for the fabulous entertainment.

[@johnodonnell55]

With a thumbnail of Stephanie Trick playing something by James P. Johnson I knew to expect something energetic....but this starts rolling right out the gate. This piece fascinated me so much I immediately listened to the original and then again watched Stephanie's version. While I like Stephanie's version better I must admit to not being objective. James P. Johnson's version (that he wrote) is very powerful and a very heavy touch. (Nonetheless, a masterpiece....the fact that "(The music is synced to a trolley ride down Market St. in San Francisco circa 1905.) gives further interest since I grew in San Francisco). Stephanie's version uses a very sensitive touch that doesn't bowl you over but gives rise to shifts and dynamics allowing for the frenetic parts to really stand out...in my very humble opinion.

I love Rags but I was not familiar with the Caprice Rag so that's what caught my eye. Really love this. Thank you!

[@rgarlinyc]

Delightful - makes me so happy I want to scare the neighbors by getting up and dancing wildly to it! 😀

[@garyschneider5781]

Entertaining and impressive.

[@genestatler2514]

[@christinataylor6572]

Stephanie , you are above Perfection when Performing . I’ve been watching you for a long time and you’re Magnificent. I have a favorite if that’s possible. When you and Dick Hyman performed together . “ I’ll See You in My Dream’s “ . We can hardly see you but it’s a great video of your music. Maybe it’s just a favorite song L.o.l. Anyway ,I can’t get enough of it. Stay happy . Love listening to you and Paolo together . Have a great day. Love and Hug’s. ♥️🥰Chris. ♥️🎶🥀🎶♥️

[@jorgereyes687]

Bravo Stephanie💥👌🙌ie

[@andersoncarvalho4617]

Hello, I discovered this wonderful channel yesterday, listening to the sublime "Tornerai". I swear, you put on a show! So I thought of two songs that would be a huge hit in his magical hands; they are: "Mr. Sandman" and "On a Bicycle For Two". Happiness and sucess!

[@StephanieTrickPaoloAlderighi]

Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@margaritadaza1984]

Fantastique❤

[@alessandrapetrini7299]

Molto divertente, bravissima!

[@dalleger]

You are so fabulous! Wow.

[@hewie2u]

Very nice , I remember so well seeing Dick Hyman play this piece

[@toropovandrey3088]

Изумительная композиция! Блестящая игра! Ну что тут скажешь! Мастер!❤

[@johnhastings7841]

As much as I admire your piano skills, it's a tragedy that you don't sing as much - because on the rare occasions I've heard you sing, you have a voice that blends your own cute innocence with the warmth of Diana Krall, the charm of Katie Melua & the edgniness of Madeleine Peyroux. I challenge you to do a jazz vocal by this time next year. Merry Christmas.

[@maurol.3731]

... what a performance 😳, good, very good Stephanie...

[@epalleja]

Superlative!! and I think that this is your best version of Caprice rag

[@PiotrBarcz]

Beautifully played! Classical touch on a stride piece is always brilliant!

[@didierjaccottet6110]

Bravo pour cette magnifique version! Quelle superbe performance; merci et bonjour de Suisse😀

[@Geronimo122]

Excellent-- thank you!

[@samoryTure]

Channel deserves a lot more subs.!!!

[@silvanorolla7621]

Fantastica!!!!!❤

[@philippedervieuxcompositeu1030]

Wow! James P would have loved it, bravo for this new subtle arrangement with nice surprises. It's bright and swinging.

[@StephanieTrickPaoloAlderighi]

Thanks so much!

[@bettyrouch1833]

So innocent and demure looking, and then you put your hands on the piano and play like the Tasmanian Devil and the whirling dervishes all put together. Whee!

[@danieldekok6949]

Spot-on comment!!!

[@DavidMiller-bp7et]

You've got it all going for you. Very appealing looks, very nice manner and humble but uber-robust musicality. I'm so impressed by those long arms and hands with the miracle spiders spinning webs of delight for us. "My early solo version" indeed. Out of the world of us mortals. Enjoy watching and learning what we can from watching you.

[@randygreenwood1096]

I ♥Stephanie!

[@Ðez]

You have no idea how difficult this is to play, james p was something else, and i suppose so is Trick!

[@ianrichardson9200]

Brilliant!

[@raymondbiller2257]

AWESOME!!

[@janetkomoto]

Holy Moly! This is just crazy good! Such speed, accuracy and wonderful sound!! You and Paolo have been busy lately posting so many videos lately...seems like every few days.

[@fstover5208]

I'm more partial to James P Johnson than Joplin. Works like this one are more in the piano novelty genre. Great playing at 1/4 note =220. 3:07

[@oscarmicheli8260]

Sempre strepitosa Stephanie!

[@rowanbelt3612]

This is right up there with Jim Turner and the composer's original, but also unique in a wonderfully intriguing way! Love it! Thank you for sharing your amazing skills.

[@StudyCom]

You are the master! Plus the new do is cute AF.

[@clarencegreen3071]

Extraordinary talent! But I cannot imagine the time she has devoted to the piano over many years. Thank you, Stephanie, for doing this for us.

[@jacekwanczura379]

Cudowna gra, cudowna grajaca

[@GetPianoLessons]

!!! *BRAVO* !!!

[@MrPetrusfilippus]

I can`t say more than I have often said, but I must say it again: wonderful!

[@theomichaelschmitt8867]

What a joy and what a delight! Oh, if only James P. Johnson experienced what a master pianist can do with his composition.

[@johnandmarie7250]

Thankfully he DID get to experience that. Here is one of the versions he was privileged to hear: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rIDMeaODg5p9hKcsi=gMocfg5r24wwdV4N

[@theomichaelschmitt8867]

Thank you for this link! I did not know this recording. Nevertheless: I find the version by James P. Johnson (i.e. his own interpretation) technically brilliant and rapidly played, but uninspired and actually soulless. In contrast, Stephanie Trick plays relaxed, with verve and emotion. Definitely outstanding, in my opinion.@@johnandmarie7250

[@johnandmarie7250]

@@theomichaelschmitt8867 you prefer her version. Fair enough she is a master pianist and a joy. However your inference that JPJ, the composer of the tune and a pioneer of the style, was NOT a master pianist is a bit rough. His version was recorded late in his life after a stroke and other setbacks, on a questionable instrument using period gear and techniques. He influenced Duke, Basie, Tatum, Waller, Monk, et al. He wrote The Charleston for heaven’s sake! A true and indisputable American Master.

[@theomichaelschmitt8867]

Dear johnandmarie, thank you for your feedback. Again: I did not know the circumstances of J.P.J.'s recording. I did by no means intend to say that he was NOT a master pianist. If I gave this impression, I apologise. I should rather have said "his version SOUNDS ... uninspired" etc. @@johnandmarie7250

Impressive performance. I'm in awe

Applause Fabulous! .More applause.

One of a kind !

[@rhatid]

Her brain is definitely different to mine in being able to control our hands doing complementary but different things.👏👏👏

[@paolovolante]

Great performance! I have a request... Desecration Rag. It's a really fun "modern" rag, funny and very... desecrating ;)

[@albertogarciaarango2411]

Great STEPHANIE were is Paolo?

[@davesteel7513]

You are fantastic. How do you get your left hand to play so fast?

[@sonyawells3275]

Brilliant! How do you do the left hand notes so accurately? I’ve played the Over the Bars by PJ Johnson but I can’t get it quick and accurate like you. You’re both phenomenal!

[@alanyoung5344]

I’m sure, somehow, that you played Caprice Rag faster than JPJ, and Dick Hyman. It’s lovely to see you play closeup Stephanie! I’m worn out just watching😂

[@davidjohnson4222]

wow

[@jeremypreece870]

Just wow! I love your solos because I get to see how brilliant a pianist you are in your own right. BTW, do you and Paolo record a whole batch of these in one go and then post up one a week, or do record a new one each week?

[@jimbarbarabrinkman9915]

'Writing a song about stride piano, Isn't all that easy to do. You gotta dive in, but where to begin? The mere idea might frighten you. Writing lyrics to stride music, you're in trouble right away. It's fast and busy, it'll make you dizzy, spitting out what you need to say!'
