2-3-24 Music in Maryland…Rhapsody in Blue Turns 100!
This is the original pencil score of Rhapsody in blue which was created in January of 1924. The orchestration was finished on February 4, 1924 and the first performance took place on February 12, 1924.
Both Rachmaninov and Heifetz were there so I though it would be nice to celebrate them as well. Heifetz also was born on February 2 so he would have just turned 23!
