Gershwin - Three Preludes

2017-2020 NFMC Federation Festivals Bulletin | Piano Solo Event | Difficult Class 2 | Very Difficult Class 2 | Musically Advanced Class 1 

By George Gershwin

George Gershwin's three most famous preludes demonstrate his genius for piano writing, and portray a variety of styles. Prelude I exudes energetic syncopation, Prelude II is a lyric blues with an ostinato-like accompaniment, and Prelude III closes this set brilliantly with rugged rhythms and exciting syncopations. All three preludes are Federation Festivals 2016-2020 selections.
