Most curious of all, that autograph is found not with most of the remainder of Price's musical estate in the Special Collections division of the University of Arkansas Libraries, Fayetteville, but rather in the papers of Margaret Bonds (1913-72) at the Booth Family Center for Rare Books and Manuscripts in the Georgetown University Libraries (Washington, D.C.). Because Price collaborated with Bonds on several projects in 1932-34, lived in the Bonds home after her separation from her second husband, P.D. Arnett, in late 1933 or early 1934, and had no sustained interaction with Bonds after the younger composer's move to New York in 1939, this autograph was probably written between 1932 and 1939. But source AS 1 clearly served as the basis of a separate autograph for No. 4 titled \"Wistful \" (source AS 4, below), and that manuscript survives in a brown-paper folder bearing the address \"4404 Vincennes Ave., \" where Price lived with Arnett in 1931-1933\/34. Finally, source AS 1 is written on PHILADA paper, which is rare in Price's manuscripts after 1932. The complete set may thus be tentatively dated 1926-32.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cem\u003ePreludes\u003c\/em\u003e are also unique among Price's sets for piano solo in that they are her only set of \"absolute \" rather than characteristic or programmatic pieces. All of Price's later sets bear descriptive collective titles and movement titles such as \u003cem\u003eVillage Scenes\u003c\/em\u003e (\"Church Spires in Moonlight,\" \"A Shaded Lane, \" and \"In the Park\") or \u003cem\u003eSnapshots\u003c\/em\u003e (\"Lake Mirror,\" \"Moon behind a Cloud,\" and \"Flame\"). But the lack of a descriptive collective title for the \u003cem\u003ePreludes\u003c\/em\u003e should by no means be taken to indicate that they are abstract, abstruse, or (least of all) bland. The existence of No. 4 as a separate work titled simply \"Wistful \" clearly assigns a distinct and melancholy character for that movement, and the other movements all possess-sharply contrasting characters as well as imaginative and evocative music. No. 1 as a whole is conspicuously impetuous, alternating between the dotted main theme in C Major, fanfare-like figures, and a lyrical second theme; No. 2 is dominated by a leisurely, song-like theme but includes a middle section of greater urgency; and No. 3 seems to take the character of the middle section of No. 2 as its point of departure. Nos. 4 and 5 form a complementary pair in G Minor, moving from an exploration of Tchaikovsky-like melancholy to a rapid and concentrated technical study to bring the set to an exciting 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-preludes.oembed","provider":"Ficks Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
