Description
I love it when I find a good bassoon adaptation of a favorite piano piece. Gershwin’s Prelude No. 2 is one of these. I have been using the arrangement from the Bassoon Archive for a number of years now. It is not difficult and can be a great choice for a student who loves jazz. As I was putting this review together, I found that TrevCo has also published a set of all three of Gershwin’s preludes (arr. by Keith Ward). There is a recording of this version on YouTube (see above). Both versions are good and I highly recommend introducing your students to these masterful preludes, especially if they aren’t pianists and may not encounter them otherwise.
