bluesy
English composer
Definition
Infused with the expressive character of blues music — melancholic, vocal, improvisatory, with expressive bends and a relaxed rhythmic feel.
Interpretive Guidance
Prelude No. 2 is Gershwin at his most bluesy. Allow the melody to sing with a slightly husky, intimate tone — minimal pedal, gentle dynamics, and a feeling of improvisation within the written notes.
