Piano solo musical score for George Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue signed on the cover by Gershwin as well as by Paul Whiteman and members of his orchestra who premiered the composition-with Gershwin as soloist. The complete score for piano solo (with second piano included) of Gershwin's popular Rhapsody in Blue boldly signed on the cover by George Gershwin.
