"Summertime Variations" is a composition inspired by the famous jazz standard "Summertime," which was written by George Gershwin in 1935. Fazıl Say took this iconic piece and reimagined it in his own unique style, creating a work that is both a tribute to the original and a showcase of his own creativity. The piece was composed in 2004 and has since been performed by Fazıl Say and other musicians around the world.
