George GERSHWIN (1898-1937)

ershwin wrote originally as a song, , in 1929. It was later publisheds due to the use of a different key for each hand. : The RH carries most of the hard work; the LH, with its simple pattern, needs to keep a strong, steady pulse. The thick chords in the RH will benefit from good voicing (bring out the top melody notes). Make the most of the distinctive syncopations (the crotchet note that falls between beats 3 and 4). Feel as if you are amost ‘falling’ onto that particular note or chord.
