The set of
24 Preludes for Piano,
Op. 34 was composed in
the winter of 1932-33.
They represent all of the
major and minor keys,
inviting comparisons with
similar collections by
Bach and Chopin. Each
movement has its own
individual mood and there
are sharp contrasts
within each movement and
between movements in
style, rhythm and
harmony. James Markey has
brilliantly arranged
eleven of these movements
for Tenor Trombone and
Piano for virtuoso level
performers. The entire
work is about 17 minutes
in length. We are
grateful to the
Shostakovich estate and
G. Schirmer for
authorizing Mr. Markey's
arrangement. Mr. Markey
and pianist Virginia
Perry can be heard
performing this
arrangement of the
Preludes on his CD
entitled Offroad released
in 2003, which happens to
be sold by Cherry
Classics Music on this
site and also available
on iTunes and other music
retailers.
