Ege, Samantha (2026) Fantasie Nègre: Four Fantasies for Piano by Florence B. Price , Oxford University Press
Abstract
An historic addition to the advanced keyboard repertoire, this edition presents Florence B. Price's Four Fantasies for Piano in their entirety for the first time, honouring the composer's development of the Fantasie Nègre genre into a collective body of works. This critical edition foregrounds Price's original, unrevised manuscripts, most notably in the case of No. 4, and presents Ege's meticulous reconstruction of the incomplete, presumed lost, third Fantasie. It also serves as a performing edition, drawing on Ege's significant performance history with this work to include fingerings, redistributions of notes between hands, and additional dynamic and tempo markings, as well as detailed performance notes. This is a spectacular set of virtuosic pieces that showcases Price's ability to blend African American folk idioms and traditional forms with her own unique musical language.
