Perhaps Gershwin's publishers should start earning the money we still keep paying them by treating Gershwin like the great composer he is. Publishers have lavished such attention on the greats of the past (Mozart, Bach etc.) and even to some of Gershwin's contemporaries, such as Holst and Shostakovich. There's no editorial report detailing the deviations of the printed score from other sources, such as Gershwin's autograph. For instance, nowhere are we told in the score, or anywhere else, just what Campbell-Watson's interventions (and, possibly, inventions) are. Heidirogers wrote:There's an excellent study score published for sale I wouldn't go so far as to characterize the study score I purchased (edited by Campbell-Watson) as 'excellent.' It doesn't come near to satisfying even the most basic, modern, text-critical musicological standards.
