Stephanie Trick performs The Entertainer (1902) composed by Scott Joplin but in Stride Piano style. Filmed Thursday, June 6, 2013 at the First United Methodist Church, Sedalia, MO

[@dipierro4]

If only Mr. Joplin had been alive to hear this!

[@Fats051]

Fats, James P. , Donald and Willie The Lion agree: « at the end, we found our Stride Goddess! »

[@lewiswereb8994]

Never thought anyone could ever improve Scott Joplin, but she did. Of course, not the composition but the performance.

[@effyleven]

Stephanie is so matter fact about her extraordinary skills, she does it all as if it is nothing!!

[@JackTheSkunk]

Left hand is an awe inspiring blur.

[@MusicManiacJim]

Wow! What a magnificently talented young lady. This is staggeringly good. Thank you!

[@JoeLinux2000]

Totally cool. Must be Paolo's influence. I really enjoyed the transition.

[@olddvr]

She has an “old soul”, and that’s a good thing!

[@jesserussell7242]

This is one of the best versions of the entertainer I had ever heard it’s fantastic I love how it’s a straight piece which makes it more fascinating and really enjoyable.

[@joszandstra2044]

I am regularly glad with the suggestions KZbin gives. This was absolute fantastic, what a way of performing this great music... thank you

[@MrBoybergs]

Magnificent musician.

[@Euphologist]

Very nicely done!!

[@stephanwinter3097]

Einfach unbeschreiblich spitze!!!! Bitte weiter so. Wie kann man nur so toll spielen, und nie daneben greifen.

[@vincentdesiano4861]

Stephanie, l’m a big Joplin fan and love stride as well. But l never thought of putting the two of them together. You performance was a pure delight

[@strideman1680]

As fabulously as you play the classic transcriptions, it's extra thrilling to hear your own arrangements and improvisations. Thanks!

[@FROMME2BEV]

What a Masterpiece, a Gem.!! My heart overwhelmed ! Thank you a lot. 👍

[@hans-joachimschroder5469]

Fabulous. Real fun to look and listen. Looks like the lady, the music and the instrument are only one. Great!

[@loupdubois5147]

BRAVOOO !!!

[@Geronimo122]

She is awesome!

[@evelynmangalakaran8637]

Wonderful relaxation for awful lockdown times!

[@evelynmangalakaran8637]

Great talent!Wish I could play like her!

[@HopeHeydon]

You raise my spirits on Down Days during the COVID-19 isolation. You take me into a wholly new world. Thanks for sharing so much on KZbin: it is a generous gift.

[@andrewst9797]

Let us never forget that!

[@avtandil1971]

Brilliant. Thank you

[@maroregiled2636]

Amazing, Excellent performance

[@niclasholst7941]

Wow what can i say!,thanks for sharing this greatness! :)

[@FreeAnalyst]

Absolutely brilliant!

[@philippevinot4798]

le passage en stride à 1:13 est somptueux!!

[@jacklivings3006]

Just awesome music

[@jesserussell7242]

Wow Stephanie you are one of my favorite female pianist there should be more females try pianist that should be known I think that’s ride music should be kept alive and it should never die. Thank you so much for sharing this awesome version of the entertainer I’ll be glad to hear some more from you Stephanie I think you should do a great solo album of great stride songs My favorite straight pianist would have to be the only nearby also your husband has been Paulo and I also love art Tatum who is one of the greatest drag pianist along with James P Johnson.

[@chomnansaedan4788]

Trick!! Sheesh that was awesome.

[@Zircon10]

Stephanie did a magnificent job, but she was hampered by the dead wood in the upper octave of that piano. The felt on the hammers was packed down so tightly that when it struck the strings it delivered a small, “tinkly” sound instead of ringing out cleanly. The tech that tuned the piano could have spent 10 minutes voicing that upper register…a common but often overlooked job.

[@malcolmcarson9446]

Not a lotta people know that.??

[@davidhess6593]

I've plated pianos for over 70 years and that's how the upper octaves of all of them, including my current electronic piano, sound.

[@scivalesmusicbooks1977]

I do LOVE this GREAT version! Brava, Stephanie!

[@giulioferro8550]

Pazzesco ! E' UN GENIO DEL JAZZ ! MERAVIGLIOSA MUSICISTA !!!! PIANISTA COMPLETA ECCELENTE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@JAZZCLASSIQUE]

this deserves millions of views, but what can yopu expect from a period which invented rap ??!!!!! She is just outstanding, such a consumate and happy musician !

[@wearetheledbetters]

What does rap have to do with this conversation? Rap is a 50 year old art form and has its geniuses just like stride. They had to suffer inane commentary like this in their time too.

[@vveisshardt]

@@wearetheledbetters haha yea one couldn't be comparing apples and oranges musically any harder if they tried. also, those who reject rap and hip hop as listenable genres due to a perceived lack of musical proficiency are ironically legitimizing all the pent up frustration/ire that birthed the genre in the first place. :D

[@lewiswereb8994]

To borrow from Aristotle, rap wasn't invented, it was excreted.

[@Schizopantheist]

Jazz was one of the first great expressions of African American musical creativity, rap was a later one. And people back then decryed jazz as you decry rap now. Nothing but an expression of ignorance. And yes Stephanie rocks, or 'jazz's' so to speak.

[@JAZZCLASSIQUE]

@@Schizopantheist Rap is NOT music, it is noise !

[@db90990]

Shes Fabulous

[@paolobozano4125]

La mano sinistra di Stephanie anche al rallentatore non si riesce a seguire tanto é veloce!! E' un vero fenomeno !

[@w9ran]

What amazing talent, her hands are just a blur! I was looking for examples of stride piano style, and boy I found one!

[@HeatingUpDuke]

Incredible rythm on the first part!

[@albertogarciaarango2411]

Genius....

[@Goyote]

Speechless

[@mikaelabowen5781]

I can't begin to imagine the tens of thousands of hours of work that must have gone into developing such an incredible skill. I am in absolute awe.

[@barryhossin1222]

Fantastic!!!

[@williambunting803]

Wowww,…blown away. I’ve a new favourite jazz pianist.

[@j.heilig7239]

Absolutely AMAZING performance!

[@nickk8416]

Stephanie is spectacular!

[@stevewillardson3784]

Truly amazing! She is so talented!

[@edelbertobarao7358]

Vc arranjou com muita habilidade lento, bossa nova, rápido, jazz, e diversos, parabens é muito bom te ouvir "BRAVO"

[@jackieashthejackieashensem6566]

Exhilarating

[@johnsmith100]

Phenomenal !

[@mycroft1905]

Divine left hand.

[@loupiat2173]

Well done ! Bravo

[@valeriocecchi8492]

strepitoso grande Stephanie complimenti e buona musica un saluto Valerio

[@goognamgoognw6637]

I know we all call her Stephanie, but she really is an accomplished pianist and the best of her generation in stride piano. It would be less confusing and more adequate to call her Maestro Stephanie. Some people just think she is another girl doing youtube, not realizing they're watching the best and only one we have in this world right now.

[@jerryzabin]

WONDERFUL!!

[@freeze4428]

Wowsiwowsiwoowoo!!!! not only are you extremely talented it's obvious that you are at one with your instrument that's very rare. One day you will be in a class by yourself.

[@JohnViinalass-lc1ow]

tout un frivolifeste!

[@brianhealey5286]

Hot cha! A outstanding performance! You had me 3.46...holy cow! Thank you for your hard earned virtuosity.

[@magicmoths6018]

Very cool .. 😎

[@user-ds3wf2nq8r]

La mejor versión que he escuchado hasta el momento, y hay cientos!!!

[@raulortiz731]

I really love your style ando woderful talent.

[@joopniezen8236]

Great stride!

[@maxkupferschmid5792]

Cool and marvelous.

[@danielberdat606]

Magnifique pianiste, Stéphanie est une des dernière représentante du piano stride avec une technique exceptionnelle.

[@bettyrouch1833]

Oui, c'est vrai.🙂

[@gweckesser]

You rule Miss Trick!!!

[@itsRemco]

Stephanie's left hand really is like Donald Lambert's left hand 🔥

[@danielpianovoice]

Wow!

[@georgewilliams258]

Yes sah. Glad I come across this.

[@lotsabirds]

Absolute Genius!

[@geertborremans8474]

[@paolorosazzap.9471]

Monster!!!!!!!#!#!#!##! Ciao.

[@michaelkraemer5094]

Style is very reminiscent of Teddy Wilson . Bravo.

[@pinetop9900]

IMO she plays more in the Fats Walle style

[@otakurocklee]

Right hand is like Teddy... but left hand is all stride.

[@agastbody]

♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@KingKong-lm5vf]

驚艷

[@mariestreeting4213]

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🥰

[@1Hohepa1]

Brilliant Bubz!!! You could piss on my fish and chips!!!!

[@jesserussell7242]

I would challenge you Stephanie to learn some art Tatum stuff including the number that he composed called the shop and there are some other great stride versions of songs that you can definitely do thank you so much for sharing your great piano playing I love it I could listen to stride piano music all day and never get tired of it.

[@loupdubois5147]

Hey Scott what she's doing???

[@georgewilliams258]

I don't start playing yet

[@user-ds3wf2nq8r]

Y encima guapa!!!

[@toropovandrey3088]

Круто! Ты красавица, Стефания!

[@riffraftmusic8669]

Around 4:30--oh, THAT's why people used to try to sneak a look at Beethoven's (et al) hands while he was playing! Great performance, really, and is this an arrangement of hers? Kudos either way!

[@KingRat355]

Her stride database is rich to be able to pull of something like this

[@user-oj4xh8cg2l]

hallucinant...

[@flintlong2937]

I love everything she does, but this time she sounds like Knocky Parker, who I knew personally and who I recorded two duets with on an album that was released in the seventies.

[@lynngilbert1596]

Part of the time this is more swing than stride but lots of fun whatever it is. I wish she’d make an all-stride album of stride classics.

[@RootinrPootine]

Stride is swing, dum dum

[@ThatBoomerDude56]

That's the rhythm I usually use for playing The Entertainer. But Stephanie does it better.

[@effyleven]

What a smashing girl.. (glad she found a nice fellah!)

[@loupdubois5147]

Hey Steph! That's not my rag (°_°)

[@user-ck5ic8kk4o]

Не сдала экзамен...

[@williamtomkiel8215]

as a long term fan of Dick Hyman- sweet sweet sweet. . .

[@PiotrBarcz]

I have to break the tenths to reach as I can barley touch them at once (I can't even reach the major tenths if they have sharps) (edit, a lot happens in two years, I've since widened my hand span to reach all minor tenths and major tenths on white keys)

[@Tofuwabofu]

does this have tenths in it?

[@PiotrBarcz]

@@Tofuwabofu Yeah

[@Tofuwabofu]

@@PiotrBarcz Oh, my bad, I thought your comment was on her Maple Leaf Rag video. Yeah, the intervals in this are tricky.
