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.

A Century Of Piano Music contains pieces graded accordingly to difficulty, originally written variously for concert hall, class, festival or home: miniatures and more extended pieces that show off each composer at their best. Every major artistic movement can be discerned in this collection of easy and accessible piano works by some of the biggest names in British music of the twentieth century. As an aid to preparation and interpretation, there is a short explanatory paragraph on each piece. Generally, fingering has been added, though not in pieces where several alternatives would be viable. / Piano

“How to make friends at the keyboard” might be the series title for Mike Cornick’s albums for 5 or 6 hands at one Piano! In this latest volume 4 Afro-Caribbean Pieces For 6 Hands Mike Cornick offers three traditional pieces “Jamaica Farewell” “Mary Anne” and “Yellow Bird” plus a piece of his own which perfectly captures the stylistic mannerisms of this very musical region. Cornick has suggested fingerings to help avoid the collisions inevitable with three players at one keyboard but he adds “it’s all part of the fun”! The second andterzo parts can be downloaded (free of charge) from the publisher’s website to aid private practice. These multi-hand pieces make great concert pieces especially as encores and you could also try: 5 Pieces for 5 Left Hands (UE21711) or 4 Afro-Caribbean Songs for 5 Right Hands (UE21649) as well as several other volumes for the more conventional six hands.
