Good price for hard-to-find music I bought this collection specifically for the "Novelette in Fourths" piece. I already had some of the other preludes. The arrangement for Novelette in Fourths is close to what I have heard on the Gershwin Piano Rolls CD, but is missing an entire section. I can also notice a few minor inconsistencies with the arrangement, but those are probably due to the rarity of the piece and that the composer may have a few different variations recorded or transcribed. So while not exact to what I've heard, it's close enough. I do wish the missing section was included. I also. Alan Beggerow said Great music by an American composer.
