		George and Ira's songs, the vast majority of which were written for Broadway musicals and reviews, capture the heart and soul of early 20th century America, and are as much loved today as they ever were.
		George thought that immortality, and possibly respectability, lay in the world of classical music, and he wrote many works in this vein, the most famous of which is the wonderfully evocative 1924 crossover piece RHAPSODY IN BLUE, the unique sound of which encapsulates the dynamic optimism of 1920's urban America.
		The work established George as a serious composer with the musical establishment, but merely confirms his status as a genius, a status which he and Ira earned many times over through their songs.
