Elevate your flute quartet's musical selection with this expertly arranged set of parts for George Gershwin's iconic "Blues" from "An American in Paris." Francesco Leone has meticulously adapted this timeless classic for intermediate-level flutists, capturing the emotional depth and complexity that Gershwin originally infused into the composition. This volume features a comprehensive set of instrumental parts designed for an ensemble configuration of 3 C Flutes and G Alto flutes. To broaden your ensemble's options, this edition also includes a specially crafted part for the C Flute, which serves as an alternative to the Alto Flute part. While this volume contains the complete set of parts for ensemble performance, the full score that offers an overall guide for performance is available separately in the same series. Adding a layer of richness to this offering, the package also contains insightful annotations about George Gershwin and "An American in Paris." These detailed notes are available in multiple languages—English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Korean, Japanese, and Chinese. This multilingual supplement enriches both the rehearsal process and the performance itself, providing an invaluable contextual backdrop that enhances your understanding of Gershwin's life and creative intent. As a result, each musical measure gains additional depth and resonance, making for a more meaningful and engaging experience.

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.

The wind accompaniment to George Gershwin's popular piano solo, Rhapsody in Blue, is based upon the 1924 and 1926 Grofe editions for jazz band and theatre orchestra. Donald Hunsberger has scored this edition for 23 players which produces a leaner and more muscular version to serve as a companion to Thomas Verrier's setting for full concert band or wind ensemble.
