3 Preludes

Taking inspiration from Jascha Heifetz masterful transcription of George Gershiwns wonderfully original Three Preludes, Charles Neidich has created a work that functions as a real duet between the clarinet and piano. Rather than simplytranspose the Heifetz violin part, Neidich adapted the work to fit the clarinet, taking what works well and changing other parts, often returning to Gershwins original to fit the character of the clarinet. The transcription includes an A clarinetpart in E minor for those who find the 2nd Preludes original key of D# minor daunting.
