Gershwin, George,
original name JACOB GERSHVIN (b. Sept. 26, 1898, East New York [now in Brooklyn], N.Y., U.S.d. July 11, 1937, Hollywood, Calif.), one of the most significant and popular of American composers. His primary field was the Broadway musical theatre, but important as well are his compositions in which the techniques and forms of art music are blended in varying degrees with the stylistic nuances and techniques of popular music and jazz. Gershwin, the son of Russian-Jewish immigrants whose original name had been Gershovitz, first heard jazz performed live at about the age of six. He was exposed as a child to occasional concerts of art music and began studying piano at 12. Long after becoming a successful composer, he continued to broaden his compositional technique, studying for a time with two idiosyncratic and advanced American composers, Henry Cowell and Wallingford Riegger, and later with Joseph Schillinger, a composer and theorist known for his mathematically grounded approach to composition. In 1914 Gershwin began his professional career, as a piano-playing song plugger for the Jerome Remick music-publishing company. Two years later he produced his first published song, "When You Want 'Em You Can't Get 'Em." Although it was not a success, he began to attract the attention of some well-known Broadway composers; the operetta composer Sigmund Romberg included one of Gershwin's songs in

George Gershwin Biography
George Gershwin was a very different kind of composer. The music of George Gershwin contains a mixture of classical and jazz. It is very hard to compare what composer George Gershwin is similar to. To give you an idea of what his music style sounds like, watch the cartoon "Tom and Jerry". Apart from being a good quality cartoon in general, the music score of this cartoon is phenomenal, and sounds very much like the style of George Gershwin. The music uses only orchestral instruments, has many classical moments, and jazzes it up with some 7/4 time, the common time for jazz. There are some "call and respond" moments, when a trumpet may be the caller, and a trombone may be the responder. This is also typical of jazz, and George Gershwin implemented this into some of his greatest works. George Gershwin composed operas, symphonies, musicals, and 3 preludes for the piano. His most famous symphony work is called Rhapsody in Blue. This symphonic piece composed by George Gershwin, consists of classical style and jazz style. Rhapsody in Blue is a wonderful composition, and if you are an open minded listener to music, Rhapsody in Blue probably will get you hooked. George Gershwin's most famous opera is called Porgy and Bess. This opera is very musical, and can beat any Mozart opera ever written. Porgy and Bess also sounds very jazzy, typical of the writing style of George Gershwin

Full leather, ruled with a Greek key design, and lettered in gilt. Blue silk endpapers, all edges gilt. Fine. Laid in is a Typed Letter Signed dated 12 April 1938, from Abraham Ellis to Gershwin's mother, Rose (who was the unmarried composer's heir). Ellis announces in the letter that he has just purchased the Manhattan Opera House (which became the Manhattan Center), and that with Rose's permission, he would like to rename the rebuilt auditorium the Gershwin Room. Apparently a private photographic reproduction of the score that was produced for family and friends, before the manuscript was eventually donated to the Library of Congress. Gershwin's mother's copy, with the letter dated less than a year after George's untimely death. A classic of 20th Century composition, and inspiration for the Vincente Minnelli film, scripted by Alan Jay Lerner around Gershwin's music and starring Gene Kelly, Leslie Caron, and Oscar Levant.

MARIA KLIEGEL
After studying with Janos Starker at Indiana University, in 1981 Maria Kliegel won the Grand Prix of the Paris Concours Rostropovich. Mstislav Rostropovitsch subsequently became one of her most important mentors. Cello Concertos [Naxos ] with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra in London has been a bestseller for many years. The composer Alfred Schnittke described her recording of his First Cello Concerto as the definitive performance. She has received frequent honours including two GRAMMY nominations. For her multimedia book and DVD project, , published in 2006, she has also received two prestigious awards. Since 1986 she has been professor at the Cologne Musikhochschule and in 2001 established, with Ida Bieler (violin) and Nina Tichman (piano), the Xyrion Trio, which undertook the artistic supervision of the Andernach Music Festival at Namedy Castle in 2007. Maria Kliegel plays a cello made by Carlo Tononi, Venice, in c. 1730.

George Gershwin
This American composer had a foot in two camps: pop music and concert music. He innovated in both, writing songs and Broadway musicals which not only define the 20s and 30s (especially Oh, Kay! Girl Crazy , and Lady Be Good ) but break paths which would be fully exploited only later ( Strike Up the Band Of Thee I Sing , and Let 'Em Eat Cake ) with the Rodgers and Hammerstein "book" musicals of the 40s. For the concert hall, he invented a distinctive and immediately identifiable idiom with the poetically-named

GEORGE GERSHWIN
Gershwin wrote his first hit song Swanee in 1919 and, through the recording of it by Al Jolson the following year, made a huge amount of money and spread his name far and wide. The early 1920s saw him composing a review every year, plus three Broadway shows and two for the London stage, the second of which, Lady be Good! had lyrics by his brother Ira Gershwin, who became his main collaborator. It was in February 1924 that Gershwin took part in An Experiment in Modern Music , a concert produced by band-leader Paul Whiteman who had requested a composition, eventually entitled Rhapsody in Blue An American in Paris . Whilst in Paris he met Francis Poulenc, Maurice Ravel, Sergei Prokofiev, Alban Berg and William Walton, and at the end of the decade conducted his compositions for the first time in public. The New York Metropolitan Opera commissioned a work entitled The Dybbuk Porgy and Bess performed in 1935; but the world was shocked when, less than two years later, he died from a brain tumour at the age of only thirty-eight.
