Description

The only solo Piano pieces for concert performance which Gershwin wrote were five Piano Preludes which he himself premiered in December of 1926 in New York City. Of the original five, three have remained, having been published in 1927. Of these three the SECOND PRELUDE is by far the most popular. Cast in a simple song-form (ABA) its plaintive “blues” melody unfolds and is gradually developed through a richly harmonic accompaniment into a contrasting “Con Moto” middle section, whereupon the original theme returns and the piece ends in quiet repose. The overall mood is one of contemplation and introspection.This version of SECOND PRELUDE is arranged for Concert Band by John Krance and has have attempted to capture the mood and beauty of the original piano score.
