George Gershwin’in Rhapsody In Blue Adlı Eserinin Bestecilik Teknikleri Açısından İncelemesi

Abstract

Jazz music and art music, by the beginning of the 20th century, they mutually influenced each other in Europe and America. The influence of African-American cultural heritage has been great in the formation of jazz music. American composer George Gershwin (1898-1937), a composer who has proven that jazz themes and rhythms can be used as serious elements in music, has composed countless songs for musicals, scored for motion pictures, stage productions and symphonic works. The Rhapsody in Blue, composed mainly of jazz elements in 1924, is also a testament to this. In the artwork report, the composer's life, the history of rhapsody, the jazz styles that he lived in, and the composition techniques of the Rhapsody in Blue were investigated by the subheadings.
