Gershwin created some of the most beloved music of the 20th century &, along w/ Jerome Kern, Irving Berlin, & Cole Porter, helped make the golden age of Broadway golden. Howard Pollack draws from a wealth of sketches, manuscripts, letters, interviews, books, articles, recordings, films, & other materials (including a large cache of Gershwin scores discovered in a Warner Brothers warehouse in 1982) to create an EXPANSIVE chronicle of Gershwin's meteoric rise to fame. He also traces Gershwin's powerful presence that, even today, extends from Broadway, jazz clubs, & film scores to symphony halls & opera houses. Pollack's lively narrative describes Gershwin's family, childhood, & education; his early career as a pianist; his friendships & romantic life; his relation to various musical trends; his writings on music; his working methods; & his tragic death at the age of 38. Unlike Kern, Berlin, & Porter, who mostly worked within the confines of Broadway & Hollywood, Gershwin actively sought to cross the boundaries between high & low, & wrote works that crossed over into a realm where art music, jazz, & Broadway met & merged. The author surveys Gershwin's entire oeuvre, from his first surviving compositions to the melodies that his brother & principal collaborator, Ira Gershwin, lyricized after his death. Pollack concludes w/ an exploration of the performances & critical reception of Gershwin's music over the years, from his time to ours. * HIGHEST PRAISE: "Filled w/ new and REVELATORY information, Howard Pollack's FASCINATING & METICULOUS book is the closest anyone has come to capturing the essence of Gershwin's life & work." -Michael Feinstein, Grammy Nominated Singer-Songwriter. "The scholarship and breadth of coverage are remarkable. This OUTSTANDING work should become the first port of call for any future study of Gershwin's life & works." -Andrew Lamb, author of "150 Years of Popular Musical Theatre" & Leslie Stuart, composer of "Florodora". "Brilliantly researched. Howard Pollack has written the most COMPREHENSIVE survey of Gershwin's music."―Robert Kimball, editor, The Complete Lyrics of Ira Gershwin * ABOUT THE AUTHOR: HOWARD POLLACK is John & Rebecca Moore Professor of Music at the University of Houston. Among his other books are "Aaron Copeland: The Life & Work of an Uncommon Man" & "John Alden Carenter: A Chicago Composer". * SHIPPING: MNEMOSYNE carefully wraps, labels & custom-packages this fine book for FREE domestic shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL or USPS PRIORITY MAIL for a below-cost additional fee & to international destinations (due to its weight) via USPS PRIORITY INTERNATIONAL AIRMAIL w/ our below cost rates quoted upon request. …
