An American in Paris

~ Recording by Josef Hála, Slovak Philharmonic Orchestra, Libor Pešek

Annotation

some Mediaphon/Madacy recordings credit Kamil Hála for piano while others don't, so it's unclear. although Gershwin had scored An American in Paris for a variety of instruments that did not include the piano, William Daly arranged (a transcription of) the score for piano solo which was published by New World Music in 1929. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/An_American_in_Paris#Instrumentation
