@Tiny Carton I do not know what shady business you are in, but I do find it indeed very inappropriate to start a discussion about it under so beautiful and charming masterpiece of music such as this Concerto. I would therefore politely suggest if you would be so kind and moved it somewhere less peaceful and innocent (and therefore more suitable for your talk) - perhaps I could recommend the sometimes harsh music of die Zweite Wiener Schule or there's always the brutal and definitely shady modernist music of eastern communist composers from the 20th century. Thank you!
What really gets me is that whenever I hear showcase excerpts of this concerto, it’s always either the third or second movement. And while as a whole no work can compare to to it, I think that the slow section of the first movement is the most beautiful melody ever fabricated by any composer. 7:00
Here is music so wonderful it brings tears to my eyes and warmth to my heart. Gershwin was, without doubt, America's greatest composer and every time I think about how he died at 39 it is heartbreaking. I can only imagine the great works he would have created even if he only lived another 10 years. It makes me angry that he was taken from us so young. As a former trumpet player I can tell you that the solo in the second movement is one of the greatest ever written. Having that theme return at the end in the flute is pure genius.
Myself, I think Charles Ives has a pretty solid hold on the distinction of America's greatest composer. Then again, Gershwin didn't live half as long as Ives did. One can only fantasize about what might have been. I want to shed tears at the missed prospect of a Gershwin symphony!
@@michaelspeir6086 Ives was an amazing composer but he wrote works that never gained wide popularity. Gershwin was first and foremost a songwriter of astounding abilities. Had he lived longer he would have increased his forays into the classical.
@@stephenjablonsky1941 Well, as a general rule Ives' works aren't as "accessible" as Gershwin's, so it's hardly surprising they they haven't been as wildly popular as Gershwin's. I think we'd end up quibbling over what's meant by "great." If we mean most popular among the public at large, then it's Gershwin for sure. If it's most respected by professional, classical musicians, I'd definitely go with Ives. Which, BTW, is not to say Gershwin isn't very much respected in the classical realm.
@@michaelspeir6086 I wouldn't want to have to choose between Ives and Gershwin the same way I don't choose between Kobe beef and lobster. The one difference between them is Gershwin's amazing ability to write classic melodies. He alone wrote half of all the jazz standards. Ives, on the other hand, was the adventurous experimenter...the Tesla of music.
I have always found this composition completely encompassing, it gets into my heart every time. My Grandson asked me what music are you listening to G, I said put your headphones on get into a comfortable position close your eyes and wallow from start to finish. Then tell me how you feel.
What one feels ... : At 7:00, in the 1st movement, I'm hyperventilating. This happens me again in 2nd movement at 21:20, at the beginning of the Espressivo con moto, where Gershwin tells that he has gone through hardship but finally did succeed. Half a minute later, I cannot hold my tears back, as he reveals that he actually nearly did succumb, but that's behind him now.

@@Dylonely_9274I love both Gershwin and barber - but barber found his own voice. They are their own respective composers even though Gershwin did more for music
@@zephthezquirrellord Whhat do you mean by "found his own voice" ? There are no other composers like Gerhswin and his opera is one of the greatest pieces ever composed. Of course Barber is an awesome composer, but his music is not accessible like Gerhswin’ and not so captivating if we compare them. Baber might be underrated, but don’t deserve more recognition than Gerhswin in my opinion. Funny profile picture by the way.
I actually used to like this better than rib especially allegro agitato that was my fave especially 30:50, the gong and the melodramatic tragic climax as though it was about a doomed romance or something.
It’s about Los Angeles. I think it’s not really about a romance (though it could be) and is more about how overwhelming the lights of Los Angeles are? Just my thoughts..
Not just clever, but innovative to visualize an orchestral performance, not with a whole orchestral score, but with a two-piano arrangement. It makes the music enormously more accessible to follow on a single reading, and creates a new subset of viewers who like that sort of thing to opine "well, if it were me, I would have put that oboe bit in Piano II..."
I have no idea how my teacher expects me to play this 😬. It is probably one of the best piano concertos ever written, but not an easy one, that’s for sure.
The difficulty level between Rach 3 and the Gershwin in F is INCREDIBLY far, this is like comapring twinkle twinkle to liszt don juan, so its not really a "close 2nd"@@arieblock2337
I just wanna sleep and construct my next day. What a beautiful architect of mapping out a nights sleep and engineering a day ahead.. sweet dreams ya'll..
The theme at 1:24...where on earth does it come from? I mean, I know it's Gershwin, but what else is like it? The preludes, maybe, with similar chromatic movement in the harmony? What else? What are its predecessors in other composers' works? Who built on it after him? I've been listening to this concerto for going on twenty years, and I still can't get over the beautiful yearning angst of that theme.
TH-cam is an excellent platform for ruining a masterpiece. It has the unforseen consequence of inciting disgust toward the advertiser, which I imagine is not what the advertiser wants.
IMSLP, search up Gershwin "F Major Piano Concerto IMSLP" or something on google, and head to the site. There you'll find the original orchestral scores in the piece, but if you want the one for two pianos like this, you'll have to head to "Arrangements and Transcriptions" and find the 2 piano version.
The second piano (II) is purely an orchestral reduction, and in the first piano (I), tutti, is the highlights of further orchestral information, while the solo on (I) is the actual solo portion of the concerto.
@Oscar Stern the gadget guy Circuits and Strings 2, that is when the piece is being played with two pianos alone, not the piano and orchestra version, as the composer intended. The two piano version is often used in these contexts for ease of reading. Does this make sense?

@@GabrielBabuch I can’t agree more.
I may be repeating myself, but Gershwin is a genius of the highest order and first rate composer, holding his own against any who have lived.
This music is a tone poem about heart of New York City. Anyone who's been to that metropolis can identify with concerto in F.
Everytime I listen to anything by Gershwin, I get homesick for all the years I lived in New York.
26:38 is... breathtaking, it's so nostalgic of something i can't understand
Like a more friendly Bernard Hermann!
It's the theme from the first movement.

Putting any add, especially a SIMPLY PIANO add in the moderate cantabile section of the first movement should be a criminal offense
It's the price we pay for not having to pay a price.
