Composed between 1926 and 1948, Copland's Four Blues are a series of short, relatively simple piano pieces that can be performed individually or as a set. The order of the pieces does not reflect the chronology of their composition, nor are they "blues" in a strict musical sense. The first performance of the complete Four Blues was given by pianist Leo Smit in a 1950 concert by the League of Composers in New York. Each of the four movements is dedicated to a pianist with a close connection to Copland's piano music: Leo Smit, Andor Foldes, William Kapell, and John Kirkpatrick.
