Selections from 7 Virtuoso Études on Gershwin Songs        Earl Wild 

Written in 1928 by Gershwin, Embraceable You is a wildly popular song, and was originally composed for an unpublished operetta.  He composed Fascinating Rhythm in 1924.  In his transcriptions, Earl Wild particularly focused on works by Rachmaninoff and Gershwin. All the Etudes in this group were transcribed from Gershwin originals.       Karén Hakobyan
