  • Fascinating Rhythm”—Fred and Adele Astaire; George Gershwin, Piano (1926) Added to the National Registry: 2004 Essay by Kathleen Riley (Guest Post)*
    “Fascinating Rhythm”—Fred and Adele Astaire; George Gershwin, piano (1926) Added to the National Registry: 2004 Essay by Kathleen Riley (guest post)* George Gerswhin Fred Astaire Adele Astaire In 1927 George Gershwin told an interviewer that, in order to achieve truth or authenticity, music “must repeat the thoughts and aspirations of the people and the time.” “My people are Americans,” he said, “My time is today.” In London the previous year, Gershwin and the stars of “Lady, Be Good!,” Fred and Adele Astaire, made a recording of “Fascinating Rhythm,” a song that seemed boldly to proclaim its modernity and its Americanness. Nearly a century after its composition we can still hear the very things playwright S.N. Behrman experienced the moment Gershwin sat down at a party to play the piano: “the newness, the humor, above all the rush of the great heady surf of vitality.” What is also discernible in the 1926 recording--in Gershwin’s opening flourish on the piano and in the 16-bar verse sung by the Astaires--is the gathering momentum of a steam locomotive, a hypnotic, hurtling movement into the future. Born in 1898 and 1899 respectively, George Gershwin and Fred Astaire were manifestly children of the Machine Age. Astaire was born deep in the Midwest, in Omaha, Nebraska, where his earliest memory was “the rumbling of the locomotives in the distance as engines switched freight cars in the evening when we sat on the front porch and also after I went to bed. That and the railway whistles in the night, going someplace.

    Incarnation Episcopal Church 1750 29th Avenue, San Francisco sunsetarts.wordpress.com | 415-564-2324 1 Dear Friends, Welcome to the Sunset Music & Arts 2019 season. We are very excited to announce our fifth season with many new and returning artists.

Our season opener will feature a chamber concert on Friday January 11, 2019 with New York based cellist, Ben Capps, and Russian pianist, Vassily Primakov. The Holland Times hailed Ben Capps as a “young cello phenomenon from New York.” Ben Capps is the recipient of many awards, including the the Lillian Fuchs Award, the Francis Goelet Scholarship (Juilliard 2008-2009), the Irving Mulde Scholarship (Juilliard, 2009-10), and the Piatigorsky Scholarship (New England Conservatory 2012- 13). Gramophone wrote that “Primakov’s empathy with Chopin’s spirit could hardly be more complete.” Vassily Primakov is a prize winner at the Cleveland Piano Competition and was a semi-finalist at the Van Cliburn Competition. Solo piano artists include Laura Klein, Clare Longendyke, Robyn Carmichael, Amy Stephens, Mark Valenti, and Susan Ellinger, as well as concerts for piano 4-hands with the Duo Papillion and A&R Duo.

Allegro molto SCHUBERT: SONATA IN G MINOR, D. 408 As a young person, Schubert learned the violin and composed chamber music to perform with family and friends. The G Minor sonata, written in 1816 fits this scene. At the time, he was just beginning a teaching career while studying composition with Antonio Salieri on the side. Correspondingly, the music reflects a strong familiarity with classical models, but also Schubert’s fledgling individuality — the melodic lines are intuitively graceful, and there is an acute awareness of harmonic subtlety.
