George Gershwin ： Fascinating Rhythm

Fascinating Rhythm is a dynamic piano work that incorporates the jazz language characteristic of Gershwin. Repeated short rhythmic figures and syncopation propel the music forward, while the contrast between the familiar melody and the light accompaniment creates its appeal. Performers should be aware of the character of each section, bringing the melody clearly to the fore while maintaining a buoyant accompaniment. Rather than overemphasizing the accents, balance a steady tempo with a natural sense of swing to achieve a vivid and engaging performance.
