Rhapsody in Blue,
By Stacey Sands (Florence, KY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The piano works of George Gershwin (Rhapsody in Blue , two pianos and four hands) Alfreds classic editions (Paperback)
This is a great edition of this great piece of music. It one of the only full and true editions for the piano. It's a challenge that's for sure. But I'm very happy about my purchase.

This review is from: The piano works of George Gershwin (Rhapsody in Blue , two pianos and four hands) Alfreds classic editions (Paperback)
Be careful when you are purchasing this! The different formats are actually different parts. If it is the two-piano (original concerto, "two pianos four hands") version you are looking for, like I was, you want the Paperback, July 18, 1995 version. If you are looking for other versions, like for solo piano (only), four hands on one piano, etc., then you want one of the other ones.

Clear score, beautifully laid out,

This review is from: The piano works of George Gershwin (Rhapsody in Blue , two pianos and four hands) Alfreds classic editions (Paperback)
This two-piano version has been corrected and updated to reflect the original Gershwin "chamber" version, which is now commonly available for full orchestra. If you are listening to recordings, it is the version used by James Levine in his recording with the Chicago Symphony, as opposed to the old classic Bernstein/NY Phil. A great buy for the price, very accurate and easy to read, with a helpful analysis of the work at the beginning.
