Short Story (Gershwin)

Last updated

Short Story is a piece for violin and piano composed by George Gershwin in 1925. [1]

Gershwin composed the duet from two other short works that premiered at the same time as his Three Preludes . He combined a section of the Novelette in Fourths and another slower work (the forgotten Rubato prelude) to create this piece. [1]

The 1940s two-piano, four-hands arrangement by the duo-pianists Al and Lee Reiser was published by Associated Music Publishers. [2]
