The Goblin and the Mosquito in A minor

Florence Price

What's this piece like?
This intermediate-level piece is a great study for hand coordination and jump precision, containing very vivid thematic material that gives it a playful and whimsical quality to it. It was composed by Florence Price, an African-American pianist of great talent, whose compositions deserve to be recognized, published and played. To this day, there’s still only a small amount of Florence Price’s music available on recordings.
Who's this piece for?
A very nice piece for those who like original and creative styles.
