Concerto in fa poche

The melodies from George Gershwin's (1898-1937) musicals, from 'Porgy and Bess', from orchestral pieces like 'Rhapsody in Blue' or 'An American in Paris', we all know them ! But the career of the young musician started as a pianist in a music publishing house where he was to encourage customers to buy music by playing it. Soon he began to compose music himself and caught the attention of the Broadway, which paved the way to his international career. Inspired by Frédéric Chopin's 24 Préludes, he began to write his own 'Preludes' for the piano in the mid-1920s : Of the five preludes composed by him, he used two for the violin composition 'Short Story' and presented the other three at a concert on 4 December 1926. These 'Preludes' combine classical moments and jazz elements into an effective whole and can be played individually or as a little jazz sonata (fast - slow - fast). Thanks to the present arrangement, the charming miniatures are now available in a version for solo instrument and piano accompaniment. Instrumentation : flute and piano

Also known as 'Blues Lullaby', this work by Gershwin, which was originally composed as a pure piano piece, is also known in other arrangements today. Because of the melancholy theme framing the bluesy middle section, it is ideal as performance piece for trumpet. Instrumentation : trumpet in Bb and piano

Nicht nur wegen der Orgelbegeisterung Gershwins bieten sich seine "3 Prelï¿½des" geradezu an, auf der Orgel verwirklicht zu werden. Es sind PrÃ¤ludien im traditionellen Gewand,  CharakterstÃ¼cke mit jazzidiomatischen Spielfiguren und aufregenden Harmonien. Es ist deshalb sicher angemessen, diese Miniaturen in der Kirche und insbesondere im Orgelkonzert zu verwenden. Jazzmusik auf der Kirchenorgel? Warum nicht! Aufgeschriebene Jazzmusik ist zwar keine echte imrpovisierte Jazzmusik, dennoch hat Gershwin den Jazz (Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock) unzweifelhaft beeinflusst und seine "Preludes" sind auch fÃ¼r das Orgelrepertoire eine echte Bereicherung.Schwierigkeitsgrad: 3
