Easier Piano Pieces 03-Cornelius Gurlitt was a German organist pianist and composer who wrote many instructional pieces and studies. He obviously composed at speed with considerable facility and it is not surprising that some of his output lacks individuality. Kleine Blumen however is one of his works which displays particular charm and character. No titles were originally given to the twelve pieces of Op.205 but in an Augener edition of 1936 names of flowers were used.

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.
