5-0 out of 5 stars "Satire is What Closes on Saturday Night"
That's what Of Thee I Sing's co-author and director, George S. Kaufman, is reported to have grumbled. However, Of Thee I Sing proves his saying wrong: this Broadway musical about presidential politics adopts a consistently satirical tone and was a huge hit. It was also first musical to be awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Drama (and was the longest-running musical that George Gershwin would ever see in his lifetime.)

Broadway's A-Team created this show: script and concept by Kaufman and Morrie Ryskin, music and lyrics by George and Ira Gershwin, scenery by Jo Mielziner. Charles Previn (Andre's cousin) as musical director. Sam Harris produced. Victor Moore and William Gaxton were the stars.

If you are looking for the full Piano-Vocal score, a rather nice one was released by New World Music in 1932 and may have been later reprinted by Alfred Music.

If you are looking for the script, Knopf released it in hardback in the 1930's and Samuel French has had an acting edition in print for many years in paperback.

5-0 out of 5 stars "A Musical Genius, Without A Doubt"
"This young fellow has the spark of musical genius, which is definite in his serious moods, he has the fire of originality. I really believe that America will at no distant date honor him for his talent and that when we speak of American composers, George Gershwin's name will be prominent on our list." ~ Beryl Rubenstein, concert pianist and faculty of the Cleveland Institute of Music, from an interview in 1922 ~

This book, "George Gershwin: His Life & Music" by Ean Wood is one of the most interesting and informative books ever written about the composer's musical career as well as his short but so remarkable life. This book gives details about his family, his first job as a pianist/song plugger at Jerome H Remick & Co., his life in the entertainment world, his most notable Broadway shows, and his most famous masterpiece and an excellent work of art, "Rhapsody In Blue," which he composed in ten days.

It has been noted that Jerome Kern was the one who inspired George Gershwin to switch from pop songs to Broadway musicals. Irving Berlin, a brilliant songwriter himself was also an inspiration to Gershwin, who was born with two supreme gifts - the ability to write memorable tunes and an instinct for setting them with rich and unexpected harmonies.

Gershwin's success as a composer comes from his being passionate about music, his obsessive drive to create music, his swift musical development, his keen listening habits, his love of piano playing, his love for classical concerts, his continuous search for musical knowledge, his love of listening to music of every genre, and most of all his excellent musical instinct. He was revered and adored by his music teacher, Charles Hambitzer, who described him as a musical genius, without a doubt.

"George Gershwin made the piano do things for him ... not only he played what was written, he was improvising all the time. He could make the piano laugh, make it sad, he loved the keys, he loved to experiment. He was original." ~ Mabel Pleshette, friend ~

What I admired most about Gershwin apart from his wonderful music is his love of painting. His art mentor was his cousin, Henry Botkin, a respected painter and art connoisseur who gave him advice in choosing paintings. Gershwin had an incredible collection of modern art in America. Some of his favorite painters are also my very own favorites, i.e. Marc Chagall and Pablo Picasso. He had tried his creative hands on painting and portraiture was always his specialty. Somebody had told Gershwin at a dinner party that "he never needs to write another note, because he could make a fortune with his palette and brush." One lady asked him: "Isn't it amazing that one man should possess a genius for two of the arts?" But to him, painting is more a mere pastime. Writing music was his first and foremost love.

He was also portrayed as someone who "in many ways led a spartan existence." He rarely drank and smoked cigars in moderation. He was like an athlete and had always liked to keep fit. The permanent fixtures in his apartment were a small gym, a punch ball, a rowing machine and a dartboard. Not to mention of course a small silver upright piano that was a gift to him.

Gershwin's circle of close friends includes writers, composers and lyricists like Vernon Duke, Arthur Kober and Howard Dietz. They were called the "Paley Salon." They meet regularly every Sunday for a dinner at Gershwin's apartment and discussed art and music. Oscar Levant, whose hero was Gershwin, also became a prominent member of the "Paley Salon." He also recorded "Rhapsody In Blue" so beautifully and he put his heart completely to it and giving it a whole range of feelings. When the record was released, he waited for a feedback from Gershwin and when he didn't hear from him, he took the initiative to call him. Gershwin asked him to bring the record for him to listen to and after listening to it, the verdict was, "I like mine better."

"No man can be great unless he loves music."~ Max Levant (father) as told to Oscar Levant (son) ~

Although Gershwin died young at the age of 38, he made an incredible mark in the history of audio visual arts - writing good music and painting. After his death, 37 of his original paintings were exhibited at a one-man-show at the Harriman Gallery in New York, as one of his wishes. He had written over 1,000 songs for theatre and motion pictures and about 40 musical comedy scores. His music is timeless and will be heard and appreciated by every generation.

This is one of the best ever biographies I've read and I wholeheartedly recommend it.

"George Gershwin died on July 11, 1937, but I don't have to believe it if I don't want to."~ John O'Hara ~

3-0 out of 5 stars Just the facts
I'm not a musicologist or a Gershwin expert, but I was hoping to find a bio about him that would really enthrall me.This one didn't, but I'm not sure any of the ones available about him would.Chronologically tracing his life and works, this book summarizes major plots, themes, and players in a fairly cut and dried fashion.To a Gershwin newcomer, all the words start to run together after awhile, and I would imagine that a Gershwin fan might find all the recaps a bit trying. Wood does give some interesting tidbits along the way, like how Gershwin and Ellington collaborated without ever managing to exchange a word in their lifetime, but you'll have to wade through the summaries and what-happened-whens to get to them.If you're looking for a good biography to curl up with, I couldn't recommend this one. If you're specifically looking to learn about Gershwin, though, this may be as good a place to start as any.Gershwin doesn't seem to have been a well-documented (or documenting) character, despite his celebrity.Given that, Wood's work may do as comprehensively concise a study as one could hope for. ...

Product Description

In this welcome addition to the immensely popular Yale Broadway Masters series, Larry Starr focuses fresh attention on George Gershwin’s Broadway contributions and examines their centrality to the composer’s entire career. Starr presents Gershwin as a composer with a unified musical vision—a vision developed on Broadway and used as a source of strength in his well-known concert music. In turn, Gershwin’s concert-hall experience enriched and strengthened his musicals, leading eventually to his great “Broadway opera,” Porgy and Bess. Through the prism of three major shows—Lady Be Good (1924), Of Thee I Sing (1931), and Porgy and Bess (1935)—Starr highlights Gershwin’s distinctive contributions to the evolution of the Broadway musical. In addition, the author considers Gershwin’s musical language, his compositions for the concert hall, and his movie scores for Hollywood in the light of his Broadway experience.
