“A Forgotten Gem”
Gershwin has rather fallen out of fashion recently but this lovely book will remind you of the stunning quality of the original music. The arrangements have been skilfully made by Paul Harris who has increased the difficulty as the book progresses. Most of classic songs are here for you to enjoy, with accompaniments that are relatively straightforward. If you love Gershwin, the challenge will be to improve quickly enough to be able to play them all. If Gershwin is a blank canvas for you, then you can just come to each wonderful tune in your own time. Either way, this is a great book with which to while away the evening!
This collection of Gershwin songs has been specifically arranged for players between about Grade 1 and Grade 5. The pieces are set out in approximate order of difficulty.
