[Gershwin, George. (1898–1937)] Levant, Oscar. (1904–1972)
Signed Gershwin Concerto Program
Original 1940 Cleveland Orchestra program, signed by the great American bon vivant, actor and pianist. A student of Schoenberg, he was a close friend and important promoter of George Gershwin and played the role of himself in the Gershwin biopic "Rhapsody in Blue." The present program features, among other works, performances by Levant of the Gershwin Concerto in F and Levant's own "Dirge, in memory of George Gerswhin." Some toning and light creasing, overall very good. (10991)Signed Document/Item Jazz
