George Gershwin: Lullaby

Gershwin wrote 'Lullaby' as a harmony exercise for his teacher Edward Kilenyi in 1919 or 1920. He wrote it both as a string quartet and piano piece and it remained unpublished until 1968. It was played as a string quartet by the composer's friends but not premiered until the Juilliard Quartet played it at the Library of Congress in 1967.

So peaceful and beautiful and to think that it might have been lost. I wonder sometimes how many others never made it, and which should have. Not only George Gershwin, either.

There is a brillant,albeit subtle quote,of Muir's "Waiting for the Robert E.Lee"(1912) thats so within GG's playful sense of humor.It works perfectly.

Thank you so much.
