George Gershwin -- Transcriptions for Piano: 18 Song Hits Arranged by the Composer (Alfred Masterwork Edition) Paperback – June 1, 2007

4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars 8 ratings

Gershwin created these 18 song transcriptions between 1919 and 1931. He played the pieces at numerous private parties, often with many variations. Gershwin's impromptu performances of these 18 songs served as the basis for the transcriptions. His unique playing style can be detected in these wonderful pieces. Titles: Clap Yo' Hands * Do-Do-Do * Do It Again * Fascinating Rhythm * I Got Rhythm * I'll Build a Stairway to Paradise * Liza (All the Clouds'll Roll Away) * The Man I Love * My One and Only * Nobody But You * Oh, Lady Be Good * Somebody Loves Me * Strike Up the Band * Swanee * Sweet and Low Down * 'S Wonderful * That Certain Feeling * Who Cares? (So Long As You Care for Me).

Reviewed in the United States on July 20, 2017
but not for the average parlor pianist. You need to be fairly accomplished in the first place and you need big hands to cover some of the spans if you want to play them as written.

Wonderful Edition of 18 Gershwin-Originals , arranged by Gershwin himself.Some Arrangements are more for advanced and skilful players. But very beautiful:-)

スタンダード集ですがガ-シュインのてになる編曲が魅力の曲集です。ワッツの演奏が参考になります。
