for Marimba (5-octave)
« Performing the Rhapsody in Blue was maybe one of the most difficult and amazing things I have ever done. Being a full orchestral work, this arrangement was extremely challenging in order to keep that powerful sound and harmony on the marimba. Having first performed the version for solo piano and orchestra, I strongly believed the full piece would work. I am very happy to publish it and make this masterpiece available for all percussion players. » (Adélaïde Ferrière)
