I had a week to practice this for a music camp when I was 10 and it was probably the most traumatizing piece I've ever played

7:45 my fav part starts with the snare drum on the brushes. Like the rhythm of this section here ❤❤❤

The support that those bass-viola lines does on the song... just wow.

14:11 for All State Practice

this is an absolute masterpiece tbh

I really appreciate the music with the score together.

Celesta's first and only appearance in the work: 06:46 Saxophones' first appearance in the work: 07:59

- How great do you want it to be ? Gershwin : Yes.

You should read the New York Times article from March 2, 2016 to see how orchestras have been playing the taxi horn parts incorrectly for most performances and recordings since at least 1945. This was due to the ambiguity of Gershwin's notation regarding the pitch of the taxi horns. Orchestras have been using taxi horns pitched at A - B - C - D, but the recording of "An American In Paris" from 1929, made under Gershwin's supervision and probably with the taxi horns he brought home from his trip to Paris are actually pitch at A Flat, B Flat, a D that is higher than the one used today, and a taxi horn in A which is much lower than what is used today. Using Gershwin's original pitches for the taxi horns give them a much more dissonant sound making them really stand out. The problem seems to stem from the fact that Gershwin give the A-B-C-D notation just to specify which horn was to be played at a particular time, and not the PITCH that they should be played out. Life would have been easier if he had just labeled them 1,2,3,4, instead.

17:32 man what an amazing set of 4 bars

Thanks for uploading!

I really like the bell sound at 2:14 , reminded me of a speeding bike bell or a tram. Cool percussion section in this orchestra!

Great!

Listened to this while tripping 10/10.

Good work George Gershwin. Good work George N. Gianopoulos

American in Paris a gem ! 🥰

so good...the intro is amazing especially

Thank you for putting this up. The New Zealanders don't "get" this work. Neither does the conductor. Stodgy, but still fun!

4:52 it sounds as going to a concert in which the rite of spring was played.

Can't found this band on spotify 🙁 but I'm in love with this metronome more than new york philharmonic

12:56-13:12 Don’t mind me saving this for practice

I loved playing the timp solo at 14:26

14:11 11/12 gmea all state orchestra 2021

The tympani roll at 76 is missing from the score. Am I missing something?

My nephew loves this type of music 🎶 We're making a vinyl record with this. I wonder how it would sound on a 10"inch vinyl record

I wish somebody would do one of these where you can see the next page coming up as you would when reading a real score.
