Paris, Amiot-Dumont, 1949, in-16, br., pp. 175. Con catalogo dell'opera. (Collection “Jeunesse de la Musique”).
br. Gershwin non era soltanto l'autore di canzonette e di musical che con "Rhapsody in Blue" e "Porgy and Bess" sognava la consacrazione classica, ma una personalità artistica molto più complessa e contraddittoria, sintesi geniale di tutti i fermenti e le sollecitazioni creative delle nuove tecnologie che animarono la scena statunitense degli anni Venti e Trenta: il jazz e la cultura afro-americana, il musical, il cinema, l'industria discografica, la radio. Sei studiosi, dai diversi punti di osservazione delle loro discipline, indagano il musicista demolendo i luoghi comuni e offrendo della vicenda creativa di George Gershwin una visione dinamica e problematica, in rapporto a quella grande stagione dello show business americano.
