碩士 / 臺北市立教育大學 / 音樂學系碩士班 / 101 / With his superb and impeccable skills, Jascha Heifetz (1900-1987) became the most representative of the violin masters in the Twentieth Century. Other than the live performances, Heifetz released countless classic recordings and a total of one hundred and fifty arrangements for the violin. In this paper, I will discuss the Five Selections from George Gershwin’s (1898-1937) “Porgy and Bess,” which are some of the most significant arrangements by Heifetz. The opera “Porgy and Bess”, one of Gershwin’s crowning achievements, combines multiple musical styles such as African-American music, jazz and traditional classical music, in which Gershwin fully fulfills and expresses his ideas of music with this opera. Combining the materials out of seven selections from the opera into five pieces, Heifetz not only completes the arranged edition for violin and piano, but also gives a new texture to the work through his own impeccable technique and inspiring performance.
This paper includes five chapters: Chapter I is an introduction that describes my motive, purpose, parameter and approach to the study; chapter II discovers the development of American music in the early 20th century, including Gershwin’s bibliography, musical style and works; chapter III talks about Heifetz’s bibliography and works; chapter IV analyses the Five Selections from George Gershwin’s “Porgy and Bess” by Heifetz and the playing interpretation; and lastly, a conclusion in chapter V.
