George Gershwin is often described as a quintessentially American composer. This Cambridge
Companion explains why, engaging with the ways in which his music was shaped by American
political, intellectual, cultural and business interests. As a composer and performer,
Gershwin embraced technological advances and broke new ground in music business practices.
In the decades preceding World War II, he captured the mechanistic pulse of modern
life with his concert works and lay the groundwork for the Great American Song book
with his Broadway shows and film music. With his brother Ira, and his cousins Henry
and B.A. Botkin, Gershwin explored various ethnic and cultural identities and contemplated
their roles in US culture. His music confronted race during the Jim Crow era and continues
to engage with issues of race today. This interdisciplinary exploration of Gershwin's
life and music describes his avowed pursuit of an 'American' musical identity and
its ongoing legacy
