The Gershwins and dual talents — 4 Comments

  1. Thanks for that very much, Neo.
    I learned about synesthesia in reading up on Gershwin.

  2. Thanks, this is interesting! Another example: Mark Taimanow was both a world class chess player, and a world class pianist. I find this incredible, as one would think that in both cases you can only be world class if you put everything you have into it…

  3. First recording of Rhapsody in Blue. June 10 1924, just months after the debut at Aeolian Hall on Feb. 12 1924 Paul Whiteman Orchestra, George Gershwin on the piano, Ross Gorman on the clarinet, arrangement by Ferde Grofe.
