need two pieces
on: December 23, 2006, 06:07:44 PM
Howdy! I need Stravinsky's firebird suite transcribed for the piano (I forget the guys name sorry :-\). And I need Gerwins rhapsody in blue. I'm pretty sure the rhapsody is copywrited so if it is can you at least send me a link to were i can buy a copy?

Thanks 8)

The transcribers name was Sam Raphling. Stravinsky also wrote a version for piano. Don't know where you could buy it.

Never heard of Gerwin.

Biret, but Biret is sh*t. I do however have a piano roll version of Stravinsky himself playing the firebird suite, which is probably his own transcription!
