George Gershwin

George Gershwin was an American composer and pianist whose compositions spanned jazz, popular and classical music. Among his best-known works are the songs "Swanee" and "Fascinating Rhythm", the orchestral compositions Rhapsody in Blue and An American in Paris, the jazz standards "Embraceable You" and "I Got Rhythm" and the opera Porgy and Bess, which included the hit "Summertime". His Of Thee I Sing was the first musical to win the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, although as composer, he did not participate in reception of the award. Gershwin studied piano under Charles Hambitzer and composition with Rubin Goldmark, Henry Cowell, and Joseph Brody. He began his career as a song plugger but soon started composing Broadway theater works with his brother Ira Gershwin and with Buddy DeSylva. He moved to Paris, intending to study with Nadia Boulanger, but she refused him, afraid that rigorous classical study would ruin his jazz-influenced style; Maurice Ravel voiced similar objections when Gershwin inquired about studying with him. He subsequently composed An American in Paris, returned to New York City and wrote Porgy and Bess with Ira and DuBose Heyward. From Wikipedia (
