Product Details


Product Description

1923 standard popularizing the already existing Charleston dance, named after Charleston, South Carolina. The distinctive jump beat, which consists of the first part of the Afro-Cuban clave rhythm, is a driving yet playful rhythm. Gershwin gives it a nod in his 1927 Concerto in F, 1st movement.

Features:
-left hand occasionally takes the melody
-liberal use of rootless chords with and without voice-leading baseline
-key change
-no repeat sections

Quote:
-André Previn ending: left hand semi-chromatic descent in 5ths
