Rhapsody in Blue (Original) (Belwin Edition) [Paperback] Review

Simply said, I am using this as the feature of my senior piano performace recital at my college. This brilliant work is something to behold in its concerto form, something to enjoy it its orchestral form, and something that every one should study in its piano solo form.

Gershwin himself wrote this arrangement, so it can be safe to assume that everything in this piece is exactly how Gerswhin wanted it. I would imagine he would best realize what he original thought to be the important parts...

The Annotated Rhapsody in Blue [Paperback] Review

Being a professional pianist for over 10 years, I heard Rhapsody in Blue after buying the Fantasia 2000 CD.I was astonished.I immediately went to Sam Ash and I found this book.It is by far THE MOST COMPLETE sheet music book of this piece.The piano 4 hands or version for 2 pianos doesn't come close to what this book has.In the first several pages, it describes all of the changes and improvisations put on the piece since its debut.Then, it gives the player and FULL version, including, orchestra parts that can be played on the piano.Granted, it's a very difficult piece, but it sounds wonderful.Even if you're a beginner or intermediate player, you will find much information and joy from this book.I highly recommend it!
