The Gershwin Collection: 15 Embraceable Classics: Piano Solo

The Gershwin Collection: 15 Embraceable Classics is a piano solo sheet music songbook featuring the music of George Gershwin and the songwriting legacy of George and Ira Gershwin. Arranged by Phillip Keveren as part of The Phillip Keveren Series, this collection brings 15 enduring standards together in polished piano solo arrangements. With a stated piano level of Late Intermediate to Early Advanced, it is suited to pianists looking to explore Gershwin repertoire for learning, practice, personal enjoyment, or performance.

Created for Piano/Keyboard, the collection presents complete piano solo arrangements of familiar Gershwin melodies rather than separate ensemble parts. It offers a convenient way to keep a varied selection of Gershwin favorites together in one volume, with music ranging from energetic rhythmic standards to expressive love songs.

Phillip Keveren's arrangements provide an opportunity to spend time with the distinctive melodies, harmonies, rhythms, and character associated with these celebrated songs. Familiar selections can support focused learning and practice while giving pianists repertoire with lasting appeal for informal playing and performance. The contrast among lyrical, romantic, and rhythmically lively pieces also creates variety from one selection to the next.
