Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much. I feel that i now can swing the pieces a little more. I enjoyed your comments and appreciate your knowledge of Gershwins music. ❤
Great video! Need this for my exam. Thanks so much. 😁
You're welcome 😊
Really good tips, thank you. I’m learning the 3rd prelude at the moment and it’s helped provide an insight into Gershwin.
One question I have is, could you clarify what you mean by composers changing pieces? Depending on the definition I’ll just say that some composers from earlier periods were notorious for constantly changing their music. Two examples I can think of are Brahms who used to rewrite some of his music multiple times and sometimes transfer it from one arrangement to another. The other was Chopin, who was supposedly infamous for making changes to his music just before it went to the printers or even whilst it was being printed!
SUPER helpful tips!!!! ....and interpretation!

Prelude 2 @ 5:10. Small hands roll the 10ths....
Thank you for teaching us. When I play the firt prelude, at the very beginning I feel that he (HE) meant to accent the second last note in the first bar, but to accent the LAST note in the second bar. Even if it where possible, to tune the note up from below - possibly with a very short G before the last note. (Sorry for my english, I am a german guy). This in preparation for the accentet last note in bar 17 and 26. The last run up of prelude 3 I take also the last note with the left hand. It is easier in my opinion. No other comments beside that I am not able to play it that fast without mistakes. However, I try.
Penultimate and last measures in Prelude no. 1 is the key in my interpretation of that Gershwin prelude, my two-bits:
In that 4th scale run-up between the hands, start "ff" and calm down to "pp" at the last notes (Bb in RH, F in LH), and then--I would pause only about 2 extra sixteenths and then play the crash-out Bb chord in "ff", but with the tempo only slightly held back, to allow for the accurate "Bb" low note hit on the 2nd sixteenth of the LH which raps up the piece.
