1. Hoe Cake in C major

Florence Price

What's this piece like?
A hoecake is a rustic, fried variant of a pancake crafted with ground cornmeal, originating from the southern United States. The accompaniment pattern in the left hand serves as an excellent exercise for releasing tension in the muscles situated on the top of the hand. The sound should be light and quick, played with minimal effort.
Who's this piece for?
An excellent piece for intermediate level pianists who are working on their technique.
