Boosey & HawkesEditorial Note
After Copland completed the score to The Heiress in 1948, Paramount rewrote the title music to feature the song Plaisir d'Amour, against Copland's wishes. For various reasons, Copland never created a suite from the Heiress. This suite was reconstructed by Arnold Freed in 1990, making available for the first time Copland's original title music for The Heiress.
