Piano Preludes (piano)

Gregory Stone has transcribed these three selected preludes for one piano-four hands. For much of his life George Gershwin sought to integrate the worlds of jazz and classical music. These pieces are not jazz improvisations but they do show something of the style of his own playing. Gershwin had intended to compose a set of twelve a sort of jazz Wohltemperierte Clavier but his unexpected death from a brain tumour at the age of 38 prevented this. At least seven survive (others may have ended up as songs) and this set of three as published form a satisfying unit. The first opens with a blue-note riff which forms the basis of the first theme.Contrasting material follows making use of a distinctive repeated note figure then the first idea reappears in a quasi-orchestral climax. The second prelude shows a curious kinship with Chopin???s A minor Prelude with its eerie accompaniment and hypnotic melody. The third exploits a similar major/minor ambivalence but dextrous syncopation gives it driving rhythmic energy.

The World's Great Classical Music-63 preludes by 16 of the greatest composers from the Baroque period right up the the 20th century. Includes works from Alexander Skryabin Henry Purcell Francois Couperin and Isaac Albeniz.

Besides being an influential and prolific composer Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) was one of the great teachers of his day. He was a dedicated master of the keyboard always exploring and expanding his knowledge of the instrument. Technique was of paramount significance to Bach and he was always developing exercises to improve his students??? playing. Bach developed those exercises into the pieces presented in 18 Short Preludes. However these compositions are more than keyboard exercises. They are light airy fun works that reflect Bach???s love of the short simple prelude form. They provide the beginning student with an excellent introduction to the genius ofJ.S. Bach.This edition was carefully and methodically prepared by Willard A. Palmer. An introductory section offers a thorough explanation of trills mordents appoggiaturas and other proper ornamentation applicable to these preludes. This feature helps make this edition of Bach???s 18 Short Preludes the most practical and attractive one available.

for piano. Par DOBBINS BILL. 'These piano preludes have developed from my longtime love of the music from both the classical and jazz traditions. I have intentionally adopted a format which may or may not include improvisation. This format should serve as a friendly invitation to classically trained pianists. My own improvisations, which can be heard on the recording 'Preludes and Predilections, Vol. 1', may open up some avenues or points of departure. This same format should, on the other hand, serve to challenge the improvising pianist to make the written material sound fresh and spontaneous in each performance.' Bill Dobbins/ Répertoire / Piano
