3 Preludes arranged for String Trio

No other composer was able to combine the jazz music of the time with classical music like George Gershwin. I have tried to avoid noting too many phrasings. We «classics» tend to overdo accents and other phrasing instructions. The danger is that the music then sounds too «uptight» - take the instructions loosely and rely on your jazz feeling. I dedicate this arrangement to my trio colleagues Atle Sponberg and Oyvind Gimse, with whom I always enjoy playing the 3 Preludes. Martin Stegner
