      A little too simplified

      As the rehearsal pianist for a community orchestra, I wanted a version that included the ENTIRE piece but with some simplification. This piece was a little too simplified, it was shortened, and the transitions were awkward with odd key changes. I ended up making my own version off the Gershwin...

      is there a better piece of music?

      I am an advanced intermediate player and found the music a delight to play. It was chorded just right. This work is not for the beginner, but provides a bit of a challenge to get it to really sound the best.
