Today I learned a new piece entitled 'Summertime' by George Gershwin. It is set in E minor and is made mostly of higher notes. It is a jazz piece, so it has a tricky rhythm. It took me a while to get the rhythm jazz-sounding as jazz has little rulers and trying to transfer it into classical music sheets takes something away from it making playing it correctly an even harder job.
I enjoyed this jazz experience and will for sure come back to it, but after I play a bit of classic tunes as well.
