Product Details


Product Description

The second Prelude, in C-sharp minor, also has the distinct flavour of jazz. The piece begins with a subdued melody
winding its way above a smooth, steady bassline. The harmonies and melodies of this piece are built on thirds,
emphasizing both the interval of the seventh and the major/minor duality of the blues scale. Gershwin himself referred
to the piece as "a sort of blues lullaby."
 
This abridged version is in d (minor) for your pleasure.
