'Some of Gershwin's finest inspirations have not as yet been either published or publicly performed. It is probable that the production of his twenty-four preludes ... will award him a still higher rank in the army of contemporarycomposers.' In 1925 an admirer thus heralded George Gershwin's ambitious project in Vanity Fair namely to compose preludes in all keys as Bach and Chopin had done before. On 4 December of the following year the composerpublicly performed five of these pieces. However the extremely busy darling of Broadway only published the famous three Preludes for Piano (1927) during his lifetime. Henle now presents them for the first time in astate-of-the-art Urtext edition.

George Gershwin's three most famous preludes demonstrate his genius for piano writing, and portray a variety of styles. Prelude I exudes energetic syncopation, Prelude II is a lyric blues with an ostinato-like accompaniment, and Prelude III closes this set brilliantly with rugged rhythms and exciting syncopations. All three preludes were selected for the Federation Festivals 2011-2013.

Arranged for Clarinet and Piano-Taking inspiration from Jascha Heifetz masterful transcription of George Gershiwns wonderfully original Three Preludes Charles Neidich has created a work that functions as a real duet between the clarinet and piano. Rather than simplytranspose the Heifetz violin part Neidich adapted the work to fit the clarinet taking what works well and changing other parts often returning to Gershwins original to fit the character of the clarinet. The transcription includes an A clarinetpart in E minor for those who find the 2nd Preludes original key of D# minor daunting.

Par GERSHWIN GEORGE. Jascha Heifetz (1901-1987) and George Gershwin (1898-1937), two of the best known figures in American music, were good friends and often played together. Heifetz had urged Gershwin to write a violin concerto for him, but unfortunately Gershwin died before the project got off the ground. These transcriptions by Heifetz are the next best thing. The five excerpts from Porgy and Bess?« and the Three Preludes are well known and Heifetz often played them as encores, but the substantial concert excerpt from An American in ParisTM has never been published before and may not have been performed by Heifetz in public at all. The infectious rhythms and gorgeous tunes of thisAmerican classic are brilliantly served by Heifetz as transcriber, and the Porgy excerpts (which include 'Bess, You Is My Woman Now,' 'Summertime' and 'My Man's Gone Now') sizzle with virtuoso pizzazz in these wonderful arrangements. This edition is a must-have for lovers of the violin and the music of Gershwin! / Date parution : 2022-11-04/ Recueil / Violon et Piano
