George Gershwin (1897-1937) compiled the Songbook in the early 1930's at the invitation of his publisher, selecting his favourite 18 among the hundreds of songs he had composed up to that point and producing piano-only transcriptions which bear mark of his pianistic heritage and education in both classical and popular spheres, from Rachmaninoff to Zez Confrey. Jazz, ragtime and klezmer all inflect these songs with their own unique harmonies, but ever since their composition of they have transcended national and cultural boundaries to win the hearts of anyone who appreciates a melody, whether jaunty or melancholy or erotic.
