GEORGE GERSHWIN

I like to thank Gary Goldberg for the photograph.

26thSeptember 1898 --- 1937

American composer, prominently identified with music of the Jazz type, he was born in Brooklyn, New York city, on September 26th 1898.

Though he had already written the music for eight musical comedies, and various other works, it was his Rhapsody in Blue, an elaborate composition for the piano and orchestra in the Jazz style, that first drew serious attention.

Later compositions are Concerto in F (1925), a suite of preludes for piano, 1926, Porgy and Bess (opera), 1935.
