    George Gershwin was of the view that Irving Berlin was the greatest of songwriters, even greater than Schubert. Whether one agrees with this or not, Berlin's achievements as a very popular songwriter are all the more remarkable in view of his having been compositionally handicapped with a lack of fundamental music theory knowledge coupled with very subpar pianistic ability. Thank you for this very good explanation that helps, through describing Berlin's transposing piano, to reveal why this is so.
