Gershwin - How Long Has This Been Going On?

George Gershwin (1898 1937) was an American composer and pianist whose early death brought to a premature halt one of the most remarkable careers in American music. Gershwin's compositions spanned both popular and classical genres, and his most popular melodies are universally familiar. He wrote most of his vocal and theatrical works in collaboration with his elder brother, lyricist Ira Gershwin. George Gershwin composed music for both Broadway and the classical concert hall, as well as popular songs that brought his work to an even wider public. Gershwin's compositions have been used in numerous films and on television, and many became jazz standards recorded in numerous variations. Countless singers and musicians have recorded Gershwin songs.

This interpretation is from Felicia Sanders.

Wilhelm Heinrich Otto Dix (1891 1969) was a German painter and printmaker. Noted for his ruthless and harshly realistic depictions of Weimar society and of the brutality of war, he, along with George Grosz, is widely considered one of the most important artists of the Neue Sachlichkeit.

Man, these pictures are evil. Great song, but evil pictures.........

I'll have to agree with you - these pictures are pretty evil... but that's because this painter tried to paint the injustices between the high class and the people who did not took a profit of the first world war. In the 20's the world might have been a little bit like this - the soldiers unable to combat and they're wifes poor and in misery and the industry bosses rich as hell.

Beautiful singer, FELICIA SANDERS! She delivers this song perfectly. And the reharmonizations on the piano are interesting. A little creepy edge, mysterious. Makes me want to hear
