Rhapsody in Blue 盖希文 蓝色狂想曲

为了让如此重要的作品有更多机会面世，原出版商从格什温那里获得了一个钢琴独奏版本，其中管弦乐部分与钢琴独奏部分融合在一起（PS0047）。由于担心作曲家的编曲对不具备必要技术的钢琴家提出了过高的技术要求，因此向当时的钢琴家微妙地征求了修改后的编曲。(格什温英年早逝，作曲家本人无法进行任何修改）。许多技术性修改的尝试都以道德为由被拒绝，直到赫尔曼-瓦瑟曼（Herman Wasserman）--他曾教格什温弹钢琴--提交了一份手稿，这才有了这个版本。几位著名钢琴家在审阅乐谱后都证实，在保留原作的清晰度、音色和亮度的同时，对技术要求的降低令人惊叹。这一版本专为早期高级水平的钢琴家设计，但包括著名的中段慢板在内的某些部分，也可供那些演奏水平较低的钢琴家演奏

原文简介:
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.
