Schmidt \u0026amp; Co., a Boston-based firm that had a strong commitment to publishing music by U.S. composers, including an unusually high (for the time) representation of music by women. The firm declined the opportunity, however, and notified Price of this decision on 6 November 1926. The work dates from relatively early in Price's composing career and reveals little of the genius for integrating conventional White styles and Black vernacular idioms that characterizes much of her later music, but it is still the work of a mature composer. By designating it an impromptu, she gave it the genre's usual connotation of brief, unstudied spontaneity. Yet two signature facets of her later style are already clearly visible: her talent for writing material in clearly delineated sections that contrast strongly but are unified by a subtle but distinct musical gesture; and her surefire dramatic pacing. The former is evident in the chromatic chains that are immediately obvious in the A sections (mm. 1-32 and 75-89) but appear only gradually in the B section, and the latter is evident in the coda (mm. 90ff.), which begins with two bars of an augmented sonority and becomes increasingly agitated as it leads to the tempestuous close.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e— John Michael Cooper\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"G.

The collection \u003cem\u003ePiano Works: Preludes, Waltzes, Songs Without Words and others\u003c\/em\u003e brings together a representative selection of 28 of her piano pieces, rooted in the 19th-century Romantic tradition. Although Price focused more strongly on Romantic idioms in the early stages of her career, the waltz (exemplified by the Rainbow Waltz) remains a consistent presence throughout her output, reflecting both a lasting affinity and an integral aspect of her compositional voice. This first Urtext edition of the composer's piano works, intended for intermediate to advanced pianists, makes many of these works available in print for the first time, while others are presented here for the first time in an edition of a high editorial standard.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cp\u003eWorks:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/zh\/collections\/price-preludes\"\u003ePreludes\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/zh\/collections\/price-etude\"\u003eEtude\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/zh\/collections\/price-impromptu-no-1\"\u003eImpromptu No. 1\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScherzo in G Major\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTarantella in D Minor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTarantelle in G Minor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/zh\/collections\/price-barcarolle\"\u003eBarcarolle\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/zh\/collections\/price-song-without-words-in-g-major\"\u003eSong Without Words in G Major\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/zh\/collections\/price-song-without-words-in-a-major\"\u003eSong Without Words in A Major\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eValsette Mignon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRowing: Little Concert Waltz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/zh\/collections\/price-waltz-of-the-spring-maid\"\u003eWaltz of the Spring Maid\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/zh\/collections\/price-rainbow-waltz\"\u003eRainbow Waltz\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWaltz Charming\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCherry Blossoms in Her Hair (Waltz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWaltz in F Major\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTempo di valse in D Major\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn Sentimental Mood (Waltz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/zh\/collections\/price-whirlaway-waltz\"\u003eWhirlaway Waltz\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/zh\/collections\/price-waltzing-on-a-sunbeam\"\u003eWaltzing on a Sunbeam\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTo a Little Girl (To Vicki)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCradle Piece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/zh\/collections\/price-three-roses\"\u003eThree Roses\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Edition Peters","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46448789913679,"sku":"EP20041","price":25.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/1828\/files\/a95a66647c125d7428453ed4f39cd7c0.jpg?v=1787674030"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.ficksmusic.com\/zh\/collections\/price-impromptu-no-1.oembed","provider":"Ficks Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
