Description

Gershwin pens a superb quotation from Rhapsody in Blue

American composer and pianist (1898–1937) who was one of the first musicians to attain resounding international success in both the popular and “serious” spheres. While he occupies a secure place among the most gifted songwriters in the history of music, his output extended far beyond the Broadway stage to include concerti and other large-scale concert works. Superb, boldly penned AMQS, four bars from Rhapsody In Blue on a 6 x 4.5 off-white album page, signed at the top, “Best wishes, George Gershwin 1932.” Beautifully matted and framed under UV glass with a photo of Gershwin, to an overall size of 13 x 23. In fine condition, with three punch holes to left edge. A truly magnificent example of this most desirable of Gershwin formats! Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RRAuction COA.
