Concerto in F (Gershwin)
Concerto in F is a composition by George Gershwin for solo piano and orchestra which is closer in form to a traditional concerto than the earlier jazz-influenced Rhapsody in Blue. It was written in 1925 on a commission from the conductor and director Walter Damrosch. It is in three movements:
- Allegro
- Adagio - Andante con moto
- Allegro agitato
There are strong thematic links between the outer movements, while the second movement is the most obviously jazz influenced.
