樂曲解說

喬治·格甚溫於 1932 年 7 月和 8 月創作了他的《古巴序曲》。最初是名為《倫巴》的作品，是格甚溫於 1932 年 2 月在古巴哈瓦那度過了兩週假期的結果。序曲以加勒比節奏為主和古巴本土打擊樂，具有廣泛的器樂色彩和技巧。這是一部豐富而令人興奮的作品，複雜且展示了古巴音樂和舞蹈的風格。它的主題受到伊格納西奧·皮涅羅（Ignacio Piñeiro）當時的熱門歌曲“Échale Salsit的影響。

George Gershwin composed his ‘Cuban Overture’ in July and August 1932. Originally was the work titled ‘Rumba’ and was the result of a two-week holiday which Gershwin took in Havana, Cuba in February 1932. The overture is dominated by Caribbean rhythms and Cuban native percussion, with a wide spectrum of instrumental color and technique. It is a rich and exciting work with complexity and sophistication, illustrating the influence of Cuban music and dance. Its main theme was influenced by a then current hit by Ignacio Piñeiro, ‘Échale Salsit’.
