réf. 6038GEORGE GERSHWIN 1898-1937. Gershwin was an American composer and pianist whose compositions spanned popular jazz and classical genres.TLS. 1 pg. 8 x 10. March 31 1931. New York. A typed letter signed George Gershwin to Mr. Simon Bucharoff: Ive been looking through your book called A sic MODERN PIANISTS TEXT BOOK and fine that it is practically complete from a pianists standpoint. If I were to go on tour playing the piano I feel that your book would be the only one necessary to take along so far as developing and keeping up the technique is concerned. I will be happy to recommend your book wherever possible. Good luck to you. Simon Bucharoff 1881-1955 was a Russian-American pianist composer and educator who lectured and taught on the piano and musical composition. His textbook on the piano was published in 1931 and Gershwins endorsement surely would have been used for marketing and commercial purposes. The same year this letter was sent Gershwins Of Thee I Sing became the first musical comedy to win the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. The letter is paired with a black-and-white image of Gershwin. Both are mounted on white in a black wooden frame. All are in fine condition though the letter has some folds and the signature is somewhat light. unknown

Gershwin's classic Song-Book is illustrated with full-page color lithographic plates after Constantin Alajalov and includes such Gershwin standards as “Swanee” “Fascinating Rhythm” “That Certain Feeling” “The Man I Love” “Strike Up the Band” and “I Got Rhythm” among others. “In one of his few prose writings George provided an introduction for the song book.

1959réf. 035710New York: Alfred A. Knopf 1959. Book. Very Good. Hardcover. 1st Edition. octavo. 362pp. Green cloth brown spine with gilt lettering.Stated First Edition. Wear to the corners otherwise internally clean and unmarked. "book gives the lesser-known Gershwin brother the one who wrote "the words" a chance not only to see his lyrics for such songs as "Embraceable You" "Someone to Watch over Me" and 102 others stand on their own but also to tell the classic showbiz stories behind each one. Sometimes these take the form of name-dropping personal anecdotes and sometimes they're accounts of peculiar lyric challenges and how he solved them. Gershwin reveals that the original "dummy" lyric for the tricky "I Got Rhythm" was "Roly-Poly/ Eating solely/ Ravioli/ Better watch your diet or bust." Either as showbiz memoir or pure poetry Gershwin's book is a delight. Alfred A. Knopf Hardcover

Prints editioned by Derrière L'Etoile Studio NYC under the supervision of Maurice Sanchez. Bound with red leather spine and printed cotton sides in slipcase. Edition of 400 numbered and signed copies for sale. This artist book of Porgy & Bess the libretto by DuBose Heyward and Ira Gershwin is the occasion for Kara Walker's first series of lithographs. The book contains 16 lithographs Porgy & Bess has been controversial since its premiere in 1935; Kara Walker is known for her controversial art on themes of race violence and American history. In her Artist's Statement she says of the characters: "they've become archetypes of another no less grand drama that of: 'American Negroes drawn up by white authors and retooled by individual actors amid charges of racism and counter charges of high-art on stage and screen in the face of social and political upheaval over generations." This fraught status along with memories of her mother's reaction to a cast recording led her to render them in a straightforward way ".more an homage to the feeling of the music. And to that feeling I had as a child of a heavy atmosphere hanging around a timeless act of love." ___POSTAGE: International customers please note that additional postage may apply as the standard does not always cover costs; please inquire for details. ___Swan's Fine Books is pleased to be a member of the ABAA ILAB and IOBA and we stand behind every book we sell.
