Gershwin George - Summertime Variations - Piano

Description

Instrument : pianoNombre de Pages : 16"Summertime Variations is the third arrangement I have made of Gershwin's Summertime - and the first for solo piano.It begins and ends very quietly and cantabile with a meditation on the well-known opening motif.The complete melody then forms the basis for the swinging and extremely virtuoso Presto Variations of the central section.

The work was composed as a concert piece for my classical solo recitals, but I alos play Summertime Variations as an encore in my regular performances in jazz festivals such as in Montreux." (Fazil Say)
