Rhapsody in Blue has been restored to Gershwin's original
manuscript by the talented Alicia Zizzo. This special edition
includes an addendum to the two piano, four hands edition and the
fully restored piano manuscript.
When preparing the Rhapsody in Blue for publication, editors at Sam
Harms Music Co. applied their own 19th century compositional
conservatory training to the piece. With good intentions and due
respect to Gershwin, they discreetly altered chords, phrases,
dynamics, and accents, deleting whole passages to create a more
concise work. Oddly, with the exception of four bars, all the
deletions were from the piano solo sections, leaving the
orchestration mostly undisturbed. Over 50 measures were deleted
from the manuscript for the two-piano, four-hands publication, and
the piece was shortened by several minutes. Approximately 80
measures were deleted from the original manuscript for the piano
solo version and the editors used the second piano/orchestral
reduction as a basis for it, further distancing the piano solo
edition from Gershwin's original intent.
After 70 years, the majesty of the complete Rhapsody in Blue as
originally conceived and performed is finally available to future
generations in this special annotated edition.
