Many composers were inspired by Goodman; for example, Bernstein dedicated his own “Prelude and Fugue” to him, and Morton Gould, known for his film scores, was also a friend of Goodman’s and wrote two works for him. Although Poulenc’s sonata was not strictly dedicated to Goodman (it is said to have been dedicated at Honegger’s grave), Goodman performed the premiere accompanied by Bernstein. Gershwin’s “Prelude” was arranged for clarinet by James Corn specifically for Goodman.\nNaxos Japan\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Naxos","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53539261481249,"sku":"4945604730327","price":397.0,"currency_code":"MXN","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4945604730327.jpg?v=1789971001","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/en-mx\/products\/4945604730327","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
