🇺🇸George Gershwin ： My One and Only

A piano work based on Gershwin’s song “My One and Only.” Its familiar, expansive melody is combined with jazz-influenced syncopation and a lively rhythmic character, allowing performers to enjoy both lyricism and vitality. While the structure and details vary according to the arrangement, the movement of the sections around the melody, together with the contrast between climactic and more relaxed passages, provides much of its appeal. In performance, the left-hand accompaniment should not become too heavy, so that the right-hand melody can emerge clearly. It is important to preserve the rhythmic lift without rushing, avoid overemphasizing ornaments and accents, and bring out the music’s lightness through natural, conversational phrasing.
