3. A Happy Moment in A major
Florence Price
What's this piece like?
This beautiful set depicts scenes inspired by the life of a washerwoman. As musicologist John Michael Cooper describes "the music makes clear that its washerwoman worked long and dreary days in which gayety and dreams are fleeting in a long and dreary existence".
The third piece in this set is a lively short piece in Juba dance rhythm, a genre often used by Florence Price in her music.
Who's this piece for?
This is a great piece for intermediate level pianists with a solid foundation and strong technique.
