50 Gershwin Classics

I particularly wanted "American in Paris" and a few other Gershwin classics. My only complaint is the oversimplified "Rhapsody in Blue." For intermediate and casual players, the arrangements by Ada Richter or Tom Gerou are better.

I ordered this book intending to use it for voice lessons, but the piano arrangements are so gorgeous and not horribly difficult, I'm keeping it for piano solo instead. Every Gershwin nuance is there, and there are instrumental only arrangements of three preludes and Rhapsody In Blue.I played through favorites such as Liza, Embraceable You, Let's Call the Whole Thing Off, and several others, and just fell in love with the arrangements. They're rich, full, and fit the songs.It's not really suitable for vocal performance; the melodies are in the accompaniments, but I really love this book anyway.

Item description was accurate; shipping was prompt; and packing was excellent. Thank you!

I do wish piano books would be offered in spiral bound form, even if it cost $5 more per book.This book of course is not spiral bound.Nice collection at intermediate level of skill.

These are good arrangements for a intermediate or casual pianist. The one problem is that book binding is so tight that you can't get the pages to lay flat. It can be quite annoying as you try to read around the fold.

This volume contains a large selection of Gershwin classics ranging from standards such as "Embraceable You" and show tunes like "I Got Rhythm" to pieces originally composed for orchestra including "An American In Paris" and "Rhapsody in Blue." They are presented at a level that is relatively easy for an intermediate player to master. If anything I would have preferred arrangements that were a bit more challenging and complex. Nevertheless, there are many gems here that are a steal at this price.

Wonderful collection of music. This book contains vocal solos, duets, and piano compositions of Gershwin classics.

Love the album....the paper is superior as well as print. However, the binding makes it so difficult to flip pages and stalls the playing. I hope they improve on the binding to make it easier to flip pages.

herrlich gesetzt, Wenn man angefangen hat zu spielen, will man nicht mehr aufhören, weil ein Song schöner ist, als der andere
