GEORGE GERSHWIN (1898-1937) Typed letter signed regarding compositions with two pianos, 1930.
New York: 4 August 1930. One page typed letter signed in blue ink " George Gershwin" on one sheet of his "George Gershwin/33 Riverside Drive" stationery, 10 x 8 inches (25 x 20 cm); framed with a portrait depicting Gershwin seated at a piano. Usual folds, faint spot at lower right, else a very fine and unfaded with a large signature.

In this letter, George Gershwin writes to Byron Collins, in full: "I am very glad to know that you are having success with the two piano arrangement of the 'Rhapsody in Blue'. Unfortunately the list of two piano compositions is very limited. The only other of my compositions which is published for two pianos is my 'Concerto in F' - the second piano of course plays a reduced version of the orchestra part. If I should write anything for two pianos in the near future I shall be very glad to let you know about it. Sincerely yours, George Gershwin." A fine letter with musical content referencing his 1924 classic "Rhapsody in Blue."
