"Originally published as A Journey to Greatness, this Gershwin biography was praised and acclaimed by famous personalities in every field. Now David Ewen, like other masters of portraiture, has reworked his quintessential portrait of one of America's greatest musical figures - to provide even more depth and insight. George Gershwin's death at the untimely age of 39 in 1937, caused the world to mourn the loss of a genius. At the time, his Piano Concerto in F, Rhapsody in Blue and Porgy and Bess, among others, were already considered innovative landmarks in American music. Not even his most avid fans, however, could have foreseen how Gershwin's popularity and stature in the musical world were to increase in later years. Today throughout the world, all-Gershwin concerts are regularly presented before capacity crowds of devotees. In this fascinating volume, David Ewen traces the development of Gershwin from his childhood on New York's East Side, through the introduction of his vital new music, to his present status as one of America's most beloved composers. With a wealth of firsthand information - obtained from the Gershwin family, personal letters, scrapbooks, diaries, and interviews with famous contemporaries like Jerome Kern, Irving Berlin, and Oscar Hammerstein II- the author provides the ultimate illumination of a complex and compelling musical personality." - from the inner rear jacket flap.
