Very happy with purchase

"This is a great collection of some of George Gershwin's solo piano works. The first few pages give a mini-biography of Gershwin, and several general hints on how to play his music. Editor Maurice Hinson also includes a mini-history of each selection, and specific notations on playing certain measures, notes, chords, etc. Being an intermediate pianist, I appreciate the fingering suggestions contained therein as well. I am very happy with this purchase!"

Awesome

"These pieces are really full and are not cheesy simplified versions. They're a little difficult due to Gershwin's love of jazzy timing and change of key within the measure. But they are well worth the work."

Disappointing

"If you are looking for Gershwin arrangements that include introductory verse (as in the great recording that Morris/Bolcom did for Nonesuch years ago), this does not have them."

Fun Music

"Be prepared to up-tempo and full-hand reach for these pieces. The satisfaction of playing pure Gershwin sound and Rhythm is a reward. The scores are fully legible with no eye strain."

Jazz lovers delight

"Every Jazz lover should run out and buy this book! It's the best of the best. These are Gershwin's own transcriptions of his favorite songs - perfect in their own right and great preparation for his Preludes and bigger works."
