George Gershwin's Three Preludes for Clarinet and Piano transcribed and arranged by Charles Neidich. Lauren Keiser Music Publishing, 1927/2014, SS, 10 + 4 (+1) pages. Taking inspiration from Jascha Heifetz' masterful transcription of George Gershiwn's wonderfully original Three Preludes, clarinetist Charles Neidich has created a work that functions as a real duet between the clarinet and piano. Rather than simply transpose the Heifetz violin part, Neidich adapted the work to fit the clarinet, taking what works well and changing other parts, often returning to Gershwin's original to fit the character of the clarinet. The transcription includes an A clarinet part in E minor for those who find the second Prelude's original key of D-sharp minor daunting. (C2287)
