Arranging Gershwin: Rhapsody in Blue and the Creation of an American Icon
Banagale, Ryan (Visiting Assistant Professor of Music, Visiting Assistant Professor of Music, Colorado College, Colorado Springs)
This book reconceives the history and reception of Rhapsody in Blue, freeing it from established narratives and frequently encountered anecdotes. By approaching the Rhapsody as an "arrangement," it shifts emphasis away from a centralized text and from the sole agency of George Gershwin, providing a dynamic and multifaceted reappraisal of this emblematic piece.
