    Florence Price is now widely known as the first Black woman to have a symphony performed by a major American orchestra, as well as the composer of over 300 symphonies, concertos, sonatas and songs that show an astounding virtuosity and range. Her earlier work has received less attention, but in this episode we explore the extraordinary array of influences in it through the journey of award-winning pianist and scholar Karen Walwyn, who followed Price's path from Little Rock to Chicago as she prepared to record an album of the composer's nascent piano compositions.
