Product description
Gershwin's Three Preludes are arranged for piano duet (1 piano, 4 hands) by the master arranger Eugénie Rocherolle, making them fully accessible for intermediate-level pianists. The distinct combination of classical and jazz elements makes the preludes an essential part of any pianist's repertoire, and now students of all ages can enjoy the full flavor of the pieces without the virtuoso technique usually required. This book-only collection is destined to become a staple of the piano duet repertoire for years to come!
George Gershwin (1898 – 1937) was an American composer and pianist, whose compositions spanned both popular and classical genres. Among his best-known works are the orchestral compositions Rhapsody in Blue (1924) and An American in Paris (1928), the songs "Swanee" (1919) and "Fascinating Rhythm" (1924), the jazz standards "Embraceable You" (1928) and "I Got Rhythm" (1930), and the opera Porgy and Bess (1935), which included the hit "Summertime".
