The piece is 5.5 inches by 8.75 inches. Famed musician George Gershwin signed this program only six months before his death. The Special Detroit Symphony Concert featuring Gershwin conducting and on the piano highlighted some of his best work including 'Rhapsody in Blue' and 'Porgy and Bess.' The concert was well-received and Gershwin was invited to perform the next season; however after Gershwin returned to Beverly Hills to prepare for another concert he began to suffer blinding headaches and a recurring impression that he smelled burning rubber. At his Los Angeles performance on February 11 1937 Gershwin normally a superb pianist suffered coordination problems and blackouts during the concert. These headaches and olfactory hallucinations continued for months until his collapse and subsequent coma. In the early hours of July 11 1937 doctors at Cedars removed a large brain tumor but unfortunately Gershwin died that morning at the age of 38. unknown

Illustrated by Constantin Alajalov. New York: Random House 1932. Limited first edition one of 300 copies signed by George Gershwin and Alajalov this being copy No. 201. Large quarto 12 3/4 x 9 1/2 inches; 324 x 241 mm. Frontispiece portrait photograph of Gershwin at the piano by Maurice Goldberg. xii 160 pp. followed by an 8-page bibliography. Profusely illustrated with striking full-page color designs by Alajalov. Complete with the often-missing 8-page sewn booklet containing the song "Mischa Yascha Toscha Sascha" here preserved in the rear pocket. Publisher's full blue morocco expertly and almost invisibly rebacked with the original spine laid down covers decoratively ruled and lettered in gilt with characteristic sweeping gilt lines extending from spine and fore-edge blue endpapers top edge gilt. Front inner hinge with neat reinforcement. A handsome and well-preserved copy of a book seldom encountered in superior condition. Exceptionally accompanied by the original color pictorial dust jacket from the trade edition - an unusual and highly desirable survival. Additionally inscribed by Ira Gershwin on the limitation page: "To Leslie Bricusse / With unlimited admiration and affection / From Ira Gershwin / Beverly Hills June 1973." Accompanied by a loosely inserted fine typed letter signed TLS from Ira Gershwin to Leslie Bricusse dated June 13 1973 in which Gershwin warmly congratulates Bricusse on his score for Feeling No Pain and notes with characteristic wit that he has "taken the liberty" of adding his signature to the page already signed by his brother and Alajalov humorously expressing the hope that this "doesn't decrease the value of the book." One of the most celebrated American musical publications of the twentieth century George Gershwin's Song Book represents the composer's work at its most refined and enduring. Issued in a luxurious limited format it brings together a selection of Gershwin's finest songs drawn from Broadway and Hollywood arranged for piano and voice and presented with the vivid and sophisticated color illustrations of Constantin Alajalov whose work lends the volume a distinctive Art Deco elegance. Signed examples are always sought after; however the present copy is elevated far beyond the norm by its remarkable association. The inscription from Ira Gershwin to Leslie Bricusse links two of the most important figures in twentieth-century songwriting. Bricusse an Academy Award - winning lyricist and composer was responsible for such enduring works as Stop the World-I Want to Get Off The Roar of the Greasepaint The Smell of the Crowd Doctor Dolittle and Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory as well as songs including "What Kind of Fool Am I" "Feeling Good" "Goldfinger" and "Pure Imagination." Their longstanding friendship is reflected in the warmth of the inscription -"unlimited admiration and affection" - a phrase that speaks to genuine personal regard rather than formality. Provenance: From the collection of Leslie Bricusse assembled over many decades with the close involvement of David Brass who first met Bricusse in 1968 and remained a trusted advisor and friend until his death in 2021. A copy of exceptional depth and character: not merely a signed limited edition but a document of musical lineage linking the Gershwins to one of their most distinguished successors. Rarely does a copy so clearly embody both the artistic achievement of its creators and the enduring influence of their work. New York: Random House, 1932 unknown

Would love to see you so do phone me soon some afternoon excuse internal rhyme and come by. The telephone # is 271-2824. O.K. And kindest regards Ira" A warm informal and characteristically witty note with its self-aware "internal rhyme" clearly marking the early stages of a personal relationship between Gershwin and Bricusse. George Gershwin's Song Book 1932 is among the most celebrated American music publications of its era presenting Gershwin's works in piano arrangements alongside Alajalov's sophisticated Art Deco illustrations.

WITH: GERSHWIN George. GERSHWIN Ira. George Gershwin Memorial Concert. Hollywood Bowl September 8 1937. Folio 12 1/4 x 9 1/4 inches. 16 pp. Illustrated. Original printed wrappers; near fine. Inscribed by Ira Gershwin to Leslie Bricusse: "For Leslie B. From Ira G. / Feb. 1971 / Beverly Hills." A Musical Lineage in Print: A deeply evocative association set uniting three defining figures in American and British musical theater. The 1938 Armitage volume - long regarded as the most important early tribute to George Gershwin - is here transformed into a personal artifact through Ira Gershwin's inscription and accompanying letter to Leslie Bricusse. The accompanying 1937 Hollywood Bowl Memorial Concert program issued only weeks after Gershwin's death captures the immediate cultural response to his passing. Preserved for more than three decades it was later gifted by Ira to Bricusse - an act that resonates as a symbolic passing of the torch. That Ira Gershwin should present both the definitive early book on his brother and a contemporary memorial document to Leslie Bricusse - himself one of the great lyricists of the next generation - creates a compelling narrative of artistic continuity. The accompanying letter adds a further layer of intimacy revealing a warm collegial exchange between two masters of song. An Exceptional Association Copy - A rare convergence of: The key early Gershwin monograph 1938 A contemporary memorial artifact 1937 A signed presentation linking directly to Leslie Bricusse A supporting autograph letter providing context and warmth. Together these elements form a museum-level association grouping preserving a tangible thread between the golden age of American songwriting and its distinguished successor.
