Gershwin’s career is the tale of a poor boy’s rise to the. top of the musical world. As a lad, he studied the piano in his. father’s ghetto restaurant, be-. coming a brilliant virtuoso, and as a young man he worked as a “song-plugger” for a publishing house where his first successful tunes were written. His musical comedies are among the bestloved, and his haunting, original style, combining the blues with other more serious forms, has produced creations which are often considered the epitome of American music. Although Gershwin wrote for Broadway, his ambition was to We Sets “make” 57th Street. This he did; in fact, he took it by storm with the Rhapsody in Blue, and later, the American in Paris, and finally, the Piano Concerto in F. In his short career of thirty-nine years he also wrote an overwhelmingly popular opera, Porgy and Bess, the libretto derived from DuBose Heyward’s play, “Porgy”. There is much altercation over his position as a serious composer, but few doubt that he was one of the most influential musicians of his time, and that in the long run he will find a place among the musical immortals of this era.
