[1951-1956] - [1957-1969] - [1970-1979] - [1980-1997] "Moon
River
was one of the toughest I have
ever had to write. It took me a
month to think it through. What
kind of melody was required?
Should it be a jazz-flavored
ballad? Would it be a blues? One
night at home, I was relaxing
after dinner. I went out to my
studio off the garage, sat down
at the piano, and all of the
sudden I played the first three
notes of a tune. It sounded
attractive. I built the melody in
a range of an octave and one. It
was simple and . . . it came
quickly. It had taken me one
month and half an hour to write
that melody."
