Most of Gershwin is still under copyright so you won;t get much for fee. If you haven't been able to find a CD then you haven't looked at all! It's really easy to find.

Then where the heck are you? It's not an unusual piece at all. If muisic is that hard to find then get together with some friends and pool a big order to CDNOW or Amazon.com so you can spread the shipping charge around.
But - you're still not going to find a legal version of the Gershwin. Even if the music were PD the recording wouldn't be.

I was in Best Buy yesterday and they had a CD of Rhapsody in Blue and American in Paris on one CD. i was going to buy it, but went for Copland the Populist. I believe that Rapsody was about $15.00 for the CD. If you want i can buy it for you and you can the postage.
Let me know.
I have been trying to find the music for Rapsody for the Clarinet and have had no luck. It is a great piece of music.

Bob,
It's really a piano or orchestra piece, so you'll have to find it in a book of clarinet excerpts.

Check for stores that sell old stock from other stores. I recently bought the same CDs that Bob referred to and a whole stack of other good classical and jazz stuff for only $2.99 each, new. In the Houston area, look for stores called "Big Lots". A lot of the stuff I got was recorded by the Royal Philharmonic and is excellent quality.

I've got a CD of it with a very good performance of it by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, conducted by James Levine, published in 1993 by DGG
The other 'rubish' that's on the CD is actually very good too: An American in Paris, Cuban Overture and "Porgy and Bess" Suite

No you may not recommend Napster. You know it's illegal and you recommend it? C'mon - just because it's a popular way of becoming a thief doesn't make it right. I'll bet none of you would think about shoplifting from a store - what makes the electronic method any more palatable? Just because you can't (or it's difficuly to) get caught?

I think there is one use of Napster that i (personally) don't think is very wrong. A lot of classical music is very hard to find in a store, so you'd have to order it. Most of the time i first listen to an illegal copy of a recording to see if i like it before i buy the record. What i would like most if is record company's would start to modernise and just let people pay for the recording and not for the CD, booklet, store-handling etc. I can download the recording myself, print the booklet and have the CD burnt. If that would be an option (to legally obtain just the mp3) far far less music would be copied illegally i think

That's what mp3.com is for - if they have it there's probably a sampler for it, and they'll ship you a CD. If you need to hear a true CD recording first then ask your radio station to obtain & play it - they, like me, pay the money and obtain the requisite licenses to be able to play it.
Illegal is illegal. There's no need to steal music. If the CD company refuses to give you a "sampler" (and if you go to the music company sites or Amazon or whatever you can find lots of "teasers") then don't buy the music. I's been that way since recorded music. The digital age has just made it easier to steal quickly & easily.

If this napster thing is illegal, why hasn't the site been shut down?

Napster isn't illegal per se; using Napster for making copies of copyrighted material is - it's analogous to using a copying machine.
From their terms of use page, which few read and fewer obey:
...
As a condition to your use of the Napster service and browser you agree that you will not: (i) use the Napster service to infringe the intellectual property rights of others in any way;

Hey Mark-Have you ever made a copy of sheet music? Technically, that's illegal too.

May I recommend the following URL to anybody who would like to buy a copy of Rhapsody in Blue by Gershwin. The URL is based upon a search of Berkshire Records which sells overstocks, cutouts, etc. I think you'll find decent recording for $2.99 and up. Good luck.

Is Rhapsody in Blue still under copyright? I just got my kid a copy of George playing it in 1924, and I thought the new rule was 75 years after it was written, no longer the thing about xxxx number of years after the composer's death.
I'm probably confused.
We got it for the piano prelude #2, which he's studying for piano.

Ginny,
that recording is probably not under copyright; however, any recording made after 1927 is under copyright, even if the music itself isn't (I haven't check & verified it),.
And Jeff - no, I have no copies of any music. I have never needed to make copies - if I need music I buy it, borrow it from the Detroit Public Library, or borrow it from the ICA library. Yes - I put my money where my mouth is. I want composers and publishers to make a fair living.

Just very basic info and for the US only. Anything copyrighted 1922 and before is now out of copyright. From 1923 and on it may still be under copyright. It must be checked on a case by case basis as the laws about terms and renewals have changed.
As far as current term, you've got the two turned around. Expiration is so many years after the author's death.
However Gerswhin's stuff would be covered by one of the previous laws. If it was properly renewed, it would have been 75 years after the original copyright but extended yet another 20 years (for a total of 95 years) by a law passed in the last couple of years. So unless you can check with the US copyright office, assume that Gershwin's material is still under copyright.
