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.

These duet arrangements offer late elementary to early intermediate pianists the opportunity to play the classics at a much earlier level than if they were to wait to play the original version. By dividing the pieces between two performers, the individual parts are simpler, but the fullness and integrity of the originals remain. Highlights from Book 1 are Joplin's Maple Leaf Rag and Rubinstein's Melody in F.

Mike Cornick adds to his previous arrangements for piano duet this mouth-watering selection of music from the movies. 'Movie Music Favourites” includes, in intermediate arrangements, many gems of classical music, all closely associated with famous films. For example, who can hear Strauss's 'Blue Danube” waltz without thinking of Kubrick's film '2001: A Space Odyssey”? Or the beautiful slow movement of Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 21 without 'Elvira Madigan” coming to mind. Nowadays, Mozart's work is often called the 'Elvira Madigan Concerto”! Music written especially for films is not ignored either - the selection includes 'A Time for Us”, composed by Rota and others for Zeffirelli's film 'Romeo and Juliet”. Cornick's arrangements will not stretch intermediate players, who can play as a traditional duet or individually use the accompanying CD which will provide play-along tracks for either the Primo or Secondo parts, as well as complete performances for guidance. Similar previous arrangements by Cornick include 'Charleston for Two”, 'Tea for Two” and 'Pink Panther for Two”./ Recueil / Piano 4 Mains

Concerto in F for Piano and Orchestra. Par GERSHWIN GEORGE. Gershwin's Concerto was premiered on December 3, 1925, in Carnegie Hall - the epicentre of New York's classical music scene. It belongs to a group of self-imposed experiments” with which the composter sought to make inroads into serious” music: I have only written three 'opuses' so far - 'The Blue Monday Opera,' 'The Rhapsody in Blue' and the 'Concerto.' I have devoted much time to these works, but they are, of course, not my regular work. They are experiments - laboratory work in American music.” For his edition, Norbert Gertsch reviewed a multitude of autograph and printed sources in the USA and for the first time presents an Urtext edition of this very popular pianoconcerto suffused by the jazz idiom. At the same time, Breitkopf and Härtel offers both the full score and orchestral parts by the same editor./ Répertoire / Piano 4 Mains
