S'Wonderful by George Gershwin

This is an arrangement of Gershwin's song "S'Wonderful" that I performed in a charity concert in summer 2009. This is as near as I could get to the way Gershwin played in his own piano solo recording. More accurate and more complete transcriptions are now available (eg by Artis Wodehouse), and Gershwin specialist Jack Gibbons has transcribed it very accurately for his own concert performances and recordings.

Great playing, did you use Wodehouse sheet version or transcribe by yourself?

@albertfromvienna Thank you! I had to work something out from the recording, as I knew of no transcriptions in those days (late 1960's). I would have been thrilled to have found something like the Wodehouse transcription, which is much more accurate than my efforts, but although I have a copy, I have stuck with my own version.
