This is a companion piece to an essay on Jerome Kern’s “All the Things You Are,” where an alternative ending with a rising melodic gesture is written into the published sheet music. The survey of Gershwin’s “Embraceable You” here was inspired by a similar figure in an early recorded performance by Sarah Vaughan.

Some cadences in European and European-influenced tonal music show a contradiction in direction between registral stasis and linear movement, the example being alternative endings written into a song by Jerome Kern. The topic is explored through analysis of 51 recorded performances.
