🇺🇸George Gershwin ： Nobody But You

Gershwin’s song “Nobody But You” is appealing for its tuneful lyricism and light rhythmic character reminiscent of jazz idioms. In a piano performance, it is important to bring out the melody as if singing while keeping the accompanying motion in the background from becoming too heavy. By carefully shaping the handoff between phrases and changes in dynamics as the music unfolds, the delicate nuances within its brightness can be conveyed. The rhythm should not be made mechanically even; instead, preserve the spring of the beat and listen closely to the harmonic changes as you perform.
