Short Story (Gershwin)

Short Story is a piece for violin and piano composed by George Gershwin in 1927.

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.
