CMAS, EP4: Gershwin Prelude No.3 from "The Three Preludes"

Why SUBSCRIBE to The Classical Music Appreciation Show (CMAS)?

Episodes feature a LIVE performance of a piece of classical music, with the goal to hopefully educate/inspire people who are new to classical music and entertain people who are already classical music appreciators. Heck, if you like the performance enough, you can even download the MP3 at http://shop.rawpp.com (search "Gershwin"). And share the show with your friends too!

EPISODE IV: Encores, Part II

With the dwindling attention span of audiences today, the average iPod is dominated by two-minute pop songs. But what if everyone in the world had at least one two-minute classical tune thrown in the mix too? That's not too much to ask, right? This prelude and most Gershwin for that matter could counter any argument that "classical music is boring".

GEORGE GERSHWIN (1898-1937)
Prelude #3 from "The Three Preludes"

Ray Arthur Wang, piano

This encore resulted from Wang's performance of Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue.
