Does anyone have Maurice Whitney's arrangement of Embraceable You?

I'm also looking for advanced arrangements of Stranger in Paradise. I've seen very advanced arrangements of the Borodin quartet(?) that this song is based on, but that's not really what I want.

Thanks!

I have several Whitney transcriptions but alas not that one.............but trying to obtain a copy (so watch this space).

I am not aware of any transcriptions of 'Stranger in Paradise' beyond the the arrangements of the original string quartet.

The Whitney transcription of 'Embraceable You' is proving extremely hard to find - most seem to be the 2 piano version done by Grainger from the Whitney original (and not even sure if the Whitney version was published, as yet to see physical mention of it) ??? Current waiting to hear back from Australia who seem to have a version that Grainger used to create his transcription. I'll keep you informed.

I had the Whitney arrangement at one time but was forced to get rid of around 40,000 pages I printed off the internet(all in binders by composer) when I got some uninvited guests(rats) around seven months ago.

There's a collection "A Tribute to George Gershwin" compiled by Dan Coates that includes several Whitney arrangements although not EY.
