Hij was de tweede van vier kinderen van een hechte Joods-Russische immigrantenfamilie. George Gershwin werd een van de eerste Amerikaanse componisten. Zijn composities worden nu nog door leraren gebruikt als een voorbeeld voor de intrede van de Amerika in de muzikale wereld van Stravinsky, Chopin, Beethoven en Mozart. Zijn muziek wordt aanzien als de legsteen van de Amerikaanse klassieke muziek. G G eorge begon zijn professionele carrière als pianist in dienst van een muziekuitgeverij in de beroemde "Tin Pan Alley" aan de 28Th Street. Dit is een locatie in New York City waar jonge componisten en liedjesschrijvers hun score bij een uitgever afleverden in de hoop dat hun werk door een uitgever zou gekocht worden voor een bescheiden som cash geld. Het was het hoofdkwartier van de Amerikaanse amusementsmuziek. Als "songplugger" voor de Jerome Remick Company kwam George in contact met duizenden songs, die hem een beter idee gaven welke liederen een succesvolle kwaliteit hadden. Hij maakte ondermeer kennis met componisten als

Gershwin greatly admired the songs of Irving Berlin, and among his earliest musical heroes were Franz Liszt and the great pianists who were then appearing in New York, such as Josef Lhevinne, Josef Hoffmann, and composer-pianist Ferrucio Busoni. In July 1917, Gershwin began working as the rehearsal pianist for a Broadway show by Jerome Kern and Victor Herbert: Miss 1917 . After the show opened in November at the Century Theater, Gershwin stayed on as the organizer of and accompanist for a series of popular concerts held there on Sunday evenings. His talent as a composer began to be noticed by influential people. Although he had previously published little, in early 1918 Max Dreyfus, the head of Harms Publishing Company, offered him a weekly salary for the rights to any songs he might compose in the future. Before the year was out, three Broadway shows carried songs by Gershwin. Soon afterwards, in collaboration with Arthur L. Jackson and Buddy De Sylva, Gershwin composed his first full Broadway score: La La Lucille , which opened on Broadway in May 1919. Before he had reached his 21st birthday, Gershwin was known, not only as an outstanding pianist, but he could also claim the composition of a Broadway show to his credit, several songs in print, and a steady income from a well-known publisher for his future works.

From an impoverished childhood he quickly rose to achieve wealth and popularity. He became known as one of the country's most gifter composers of popular songs, musicals, operas, piano works and orchestral works. George's music had a wide impact on an international audience who have accepted it as the embodiment of musical Americana. George enjoyed writing popular songs, which he improvised quickly and easily at the piano. He wrote pleasing, memorable tunes. Within his Tin Pan Alley style George incorporated jazz elements such as 'blue' notes (usually flattened 3rds and 7ths), syncopations, and 'walking' bass lines of parallel 6ths and 10ths. Some Jewish elements may also be identified, such as the minor 3rd used often in Jewish folk music, parlando and melismatic passages similar to those in synagoggue chant, and the scalic rhythmic repetitions of the

Extractions: Price: $18.35 George Gershwin Composer Popular composer and pianist George Gershwin wrote enduring music that resonates with the sounds of the 1920's and 1930's. His song "Swanee," as sung by the legendary Al Jolson, brought fame to Gershwin at the age of 21, and he never looked back. His Broadway musicals, movie songs, symphonic poems and even opera (Porgy and Bess in 1935) were all successful and beloved. Among his most celebrated songs are "Love Walked In," "Embraceable You" and "The Man I Love." Gershwin died of a brain tumor at 39, but his music lives on.

Extractions: George Gershwin Alone Where's the Market Theatre when you need them? Their intimate, elegant space that was so briefly a part of the Boston/Cambridge theatre scene would be the perfect spot. How lovely to while away an early summer's evening there with a gifted pianist and a couple of singers ambling through the Gershwin catalogue. No, make that several evenings. One would barely get us started. Anything to save us from Hershey Felder, a bumbling pianist, barely adequate singer and bizarre Gershwin impersonator. You can avoid him now through July 7th at the Loeb Drama Center where he is appearing in George Gershwin Alone under the auspices of the A.R.T. This one man (and a piano) show, written by Felder and directed by Joel Zwick, is described as "a theatrical musical composer imagination." By all reports, the show was a sensation in LA and wowed them in Palm Beach. To be honest, many at the Harvard Square opening seemed to be enjoying themselves. And I must applaud the audience for their prodigious knowledge of Gershwin (brother Ira, that is) lyrics during the sing-along (you've been forewarned. It's the encore after "Rhapsody in Blue"). I'm afraid I side with those perplexed New Yorkers who couldn't understand what this show was doing at the Helen Hayes Theater for some 100 performances last year besides keeping By Jeeves at bay. Not only can't Felder hold a candle to countless other pianists and singers who've done this material, but the patter that holds it all together (despite a go-ahead from the Gershwin estate) doesn't always manage to stick to the facts.
Library Opens New Gershwin Room With Symposium poets of Tin Pan Alley, and composer Ned Rorem read from his book about the worldof george gershwin. Other musical offerings came from pianist Alicia Zizzo http://www.loc.gov/loc/lcib/9804/gershwin.html
Extractions: Home Page ''S Wonderful' The Gershwins Come Alive in Symposium by Helen Dalrymple The Library's Music Division celebrated the March 17 opening of the new George and Ira Gershwin Room located across the hall from the Jefferson Building's Coolidge Auditorium with a March 13-16 event that explored "The Gershwins and Their World." With songs, dances, lectures and panel discussions by personal friends of the Gershwins, musicians, performers and scholars of their music, George (1898-1937) and Ira Gershwin (1896-1983) lived again for the participants and audience of some 300 people. In his opening remarks, Jon Newsom, chief of the Music Division, explained how the almost 60-year-long association between the Library of Congress and the Gershwin family began in 1939: "Harold Spivacke, chief of the Music Division from 1937 to 1972, developed a strong friendship with Ira and Leonore [his wife]. Out of the warm personal ties of this friendship we have seen the growth of an institution within the Library that has fostered the building of our collections and the expansion of our public programs in unprecedented ways, consistent with the broad vision of Ira and George. It was during Harold Spivacke's tenure at the Library that many of the great treasures in the Gershwin Collection came to us, and not only from Ira and Leonore, but from other family members, including George's sister, Frances Gershwin Godowsky." The George and Ira Gershwin Room is a permanent exhibition area for materials from the Library's George and Ira Gershwin Collection, which includes George's piano and desk, Ira's typing table and typewriter, self-portrait oil paintings of each brother, as well as music manuscripts and other documents that chronicle the lives and careers of the two brothers. An interactive audio-video kiosk allows visitors to view film footage and additional materials from the Gershwin Collection and hear recordings of Gershwin music.
