After
achieving sensational
success with the musical
Lady, be good! , with
evergreens such as
Fascinating Rhythm and
The Man I love, as well
as with his Rhapsody in
Blue , Gershwin premiered
his Concerto in F for
piano and orchestra as a
soloist at Carnegie Hall
in 1925. Now, the new
superstar of Broadway had
also arrived at the
center of New York's
classical music scene. In
its eventful history, the
work went through
numerous changes,
cuttings, arrangements,
many of which doubtful
and unauthorized. Even
the first and so far only
printed orchestral score,
edited by Frank
Campbell-Watson,
published in 1942 five
years after Gershwin's
death, contains many
unauthorized
interventions. Through
years of research, editor
Norbert Gertsch has
succeeded in ridding the
work of all unauthorized
additions and alterations
and thus reconstructing
an Urtext in its original
literal sense from the
complex source material -
from autograph sketches
to early recordings. The
first text-critical
edition of the work is a
joint production of
Breitkopf
(score/orchestral parts)
and G. Henle Verlag

The
roller coaster of
opinions - worthless,
absolutely unplayable
(claims Nikolaj
Rubinstein, basically
Tchaikovsky's desired
pianist for his Concerto
in B flat minor);
brilliant, magnificent
(Hans von Bulow, then
first performer and
dedicatee of the work) -
demonstrates the work's
initially ambivalent
reception. Tchaikovsky's
Piano Concerto No.1 is
one of the most powerful
and popular compositions
of the classical music
repertoire altogether;
and it is also quite
unconventional and runs
counter to the norms of
the time. Though it may
seem strange to us today,
let us recall that during
his lifetime, Tchaikovsky
was regarded disputable
abroad (and especially in
Germany), was considered
an ultra-modern Russian
composer, and was even
accused of being a
musical nihilist and
primitivist. But one
glance at the score of
the piano concerto
suffices to reveal its
truly amazing character
