Composed in 1925 during the Jazz Age, George Gershwin’s Piano Concerto in F blends classical form with the rhythms and harmonies of American jazz. Written shortly after the success of Rhapsody in Blue, the concerto was Gershwin’s first major orchestral work fully scored by himself. Set in three movements, the piece captures the energy of 1920s New York, showcasing bluesy melodies, syncopated rhythms, and bold orchestration. It stands as a defining work of the American classical repertoire, bridging the gap between concert music and popular styles of its time.
