192623613N. Y.: Albert and Charles Boni 1926. First edition. Presentation copy inscribed by George Gershwin to Hellen Ingram Merrill the wife of Charles Merrill founder of Merrill Lynch and the mother of the poet James Merrill on the front free endpaper: “To Hellen - All the best on her birthday from George Gershwinâ€. Beneath his inscription Gershwin has written a single bar of music followed by the identification “Rhapsody in Blue†and the date August 14 1926. The particular bar is a pivotal one in the composition from which point "the whole mood of the work" changes. Several of Gershwin’s compositions are included in this anthology namely “Excerpt from Krazy Kat. A Jazz Pantomime†“The Half of It Dearie Blues†“Concerto in F. II Movement Excerpt†and “Rhapsody in Blue for Jazz Band and Pianoâ€. In 1925 Hellen Ingram married Charlies Merrill and gave birth to their son James Merrill in March of 1926. Charles Merrill owned “The Orchard†in Southampton New York. Designed by Stanford White it was one of the finest summer estates on Long Island and the Merrills entertained lavishly there. One of their many guests was George Gershwin and it was no doubt at Hellen’s twenty-eighth birthday party that he inscribed this copy of The Blues. Whether Gershwin gave this copy of Blues to Hellen as her birthday present is also plausible. Some foxing and soiling covers lightly soiled and rubbed but a very good copy which appears to have been used at the piano rather than merely read. 4to original two-toned cloth.
