Gershwin G. / Three Preludes for piano

Beschreibung

Gershwin wrote his Preludes in 1923–1926. Those years witnessed the zenith of his fame that had come to the composer after his Rhapsody in Blue. At the apex of his style Gershwin combined jazz expressive music language with the classical simplicity of the form. The present cycle is no exception; it is a compromise between so called ‘light’ and ‘academic music styles.
