American Music Folk-Settings consists of a single melody ('Spoon River'), taken from a fiddle tune. This theme was arranged by Grainger for three formations: Orchestra ('Elastic Scoring'), Piano Solo, and 2 Pianos 4 Hands. Each arrangement is structurally slightly different (i.e. the ochestral version is longer than the piano solo version).
