Produktbeschreibung

The RHAPSODY IN BLUE (1924) established George Gershwin's reputation as a serious composer and has since become one of the most popular of all American concert works. In a richly informative study, David Schiff examines the piece as musical work, historical event, and cultural document, placing it within the context of American popular song and jazz and the development of modernism.
