Includes twenty-one duets for E-Flat instruments. Some tunes included are: Rigadoon, The Holly and the Ivy, La Charolaise and Curious Story. Intermediate skill level.

To provide greater availability for a work of such importance, the original publishers secured from Gershwin a solo piano version wherein the orchestral parts are fused together with the solo piano part (PS0047). Due to concerns that the composer's arrangement presented too many technical demands to pianists not possessing the requisite technique, a modified arrangement was delicately solicited from pianists of the time. (Gershwin's untimely death precluded any modification from the composer himself.) Many attempts at technical modifications were rejected on ethical grounds until Herman Wasserman--who taught Gershwin to play the piano--submitted a manuscript which became this edition. Several prominent pianists who reviewed the score all attested to the amazing reduction in technical demands while retaining the clarity, sonority, and brilliance of the original. This edition is designed for Early Advanced pianists, although some sections, including the well-known Moderato middle section, are accessible to those performing at less-advanced levels.

(Southern Music). Firmly established as one of the most performed alto saxophone solos on contest and festival lists throughout the world.

16 intermediate duets in progressive difficulty for alto and tenor saxophones.

(Ensemble Collection). These arrangements of easy- to medium-level duets by 18th- to 20th-century masters are great for instruction and for fun because the pieces are short and easy to master. With works by Mozart, Bartok, Boismortier, Kabalevsky, Couperin, Glazunov, Schumann, Shostakovitch, Purcell, and Bach, it's a survey of music history for young students.
