I have heard a piece by Gershwin and i really liked it a lot but i don't know its title. I have made up some of its main melody on the piano by ear.
The main melody is like C2 D2 A1 (staccato) C2 C2 ........ Bb1 C2 A1 (staccato) Bb1 Bb1

The numbers after the notes indicate the octave ( 1 indicates that it is in one octave lower 2 indicates that it is upper)

If anyone knows this piece, please reply....

Hmm.. I know many pieces of Gershwin, but with only reading some notes won't help me to recognize the piece you mean

Do you maybe have a recording? I'm curious which piece you mean

I luv Gershwin

the notes you provided are similar to (but not exactly like) the Prelude for piano no.1.
