Gershwin created some of the most beloved music of the twentieth century and helped make the golden age of Broadway. Biographer Pollack draws from sketches, manuscripts, letters, interviews, books, articles, recordings, films, and other materials to create an expansive, lively chronicle. He describes Gershwin's family, childhood, and education; his early career as a pianist; his friendships and romantic life; his relation to various musical trends; his writings on music; his working methods; and his tragic death at the age of 38. He also surveys Gershwin's entire oeuvre, from his first surviving compositions to the melodies that his brother and principal collaborator, Ira Gershwin, lyricized after his death. Pollack concludes with a perceptive consideration of the important role Gershwin's music plays in our own time.--From publisher description. 000329850 60010 $$aGershwin, George,$$d1898-1937. 000329850 650_0 $$aComposers$$zUnited States$$vBiography. 000329850 85200 $$bgen$$hML410.G288$$iP65$$i2006 000329850 85641 $$3Table of contents only$$uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/toc/ecip0614/2006017926.html 000329850 85642 $$3Publisher description$$uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0662/2006017926-d.html 000329850 85642 $$3Contributor biographical information$$uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0735/2006017926-b.html 000329850 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:329850$$pGLOBAL_SET 000329850 980__ $$aBIB 000329850 980__ $$aBOOK
