	Rhapsody in Blue - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Rhapsody in Blue is a musical composition by George Gershwin for solo piano and jazz band written in 1924 which combines elements of classical music with jazz-influenced effects.
		The Rhapsody is not a composition at all.
		The copyright on Rhapsody in Blue expires in 2007 in the European Union and between 2019 and 2027 in the United States of America.

	- Jamesarts
		The Rhapsody, when first composed and performed in 1924, simultaneously became the object of adoration and condemnation; the former by the public and the latter by Gershwin's peers.
		Two original manuscripts of the Rhapsody existed; one in Gershwin's hand, composed at the piano and not orchestrated by the composer, and another, which was Ferde Grofe's.
		With the restoration of the Rhapsody in Blue to its original state, a masterwork emerges, unflawed and tightly woven.

	Classical Net - Gershwin - Rhapsody in Blue
		The Rhapsody in Blue, as Ira Gershwin titled the work, was subsequently arranged for piano and orchestra, as well as for just about every imaginable combination of instruments, and remains the most well-known and popular of all twentieth century American compositions.
		The Rhapsody was extremely important to the future of American music because it introduced what Rudy Vallee called symphonized syncopation to sophisticated audiences in the serious setting of the concert hall.
		The Rhapsody in Blue, which owes much to the influence of Liszt, Tchaikovsky, and the Russian music Gershwin heard as a young student, has beautiful, recognizable, and unforgettable melodies, and the entire piece is characterized by Gershwin's energy and rhythmic sense.

		But they're static works that show their subjects from a single perspective: "Rhapsody" required the animators to move the characters in three dimensions while maintaining his polished minimalism.

	George Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue and Other Symphonic Works
		Rhapsody was a huge success, the day's most talked about musical "experiment" eclipsing the rest of the programme.
		Rhapsody was a great "hit" through the years and in its first decade (which included the Depression years) earned the composer big bucks - over $250,000.
		As determined to be a composer of "serious" symphonic music as he was convinced about the validity of popular song, Gershwin aided by his mentors honed his compositional skills and would eventually put these doubts about him to rest.

	Notes on Rhapsody in Blue (George Gershwin) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-19)
		Whiteman's chief arranger, Ferde Grofé; (later to become famous as the composer of the Grand Canyon Suite), scored Rhapsody in Blue, or what there was of it, in ten days.
		Gershwin, who was to play the premiere performance, had left huge chunks of the solo piano part blank, with the instruction that he would nod to conductor Whiteman when it came time to bring in the orchestra.
		Grofé's first arrangement of Rhapsody in Blue (the title, by the way, was the inspiration of brother Ira) looks rather different that the one we are used to, if only because Whiteman's band did not have the recourses of a full orchestra.

		Rhapsody will run most existing Mac applications in a compatibility environment known as the "Blue Box." Contrary to what has been reported, the "Blue Box" is not a form of emulation.
		The one question I have is how the "Blue Box" will affect RAM requirements, even though RAM shouldn't be as much of an issue in Rhapsody (which will employ a new virtual memory scheme that is supposed to be much faster than the one used by Mac OS 7.6).
		Intelligent forcasting of what users will expect from their computers in the future will ensure that Rhapsody is competitive with other operating systems for years to come.

		Each is packaged with the Rhapsody in Blue performances already noted (except for the Gould, which is only available on the original LP coupling of LM-2017).
		Never again would coalesce the heady thrill of creating something new and wonderful, the first marvel of acceptance by the world of serious music that the tunesmith kid from Brooklyn had joined on his own terms, and the awesome faith that the most distant artistic horizons were now his to conquer.
		Toscanini Conducts Gershwin (Hunt CD 534) – the Rhapsody is fascinating, but a 1943 broadcast of An American in Paris is similar to, but far less well recorded than, his 1945 studio account (on RCA 60307) and his 1944 broadcast of the Piano Concerto stifles Oscar Levant with a deadly dull and wooden accompaniment.

	George Gershwin and the Rhapsody in Blue, Classical Notes, Peter Gutmann
		Quality aside, the recording is crucial, as it preserves the world premiere of one of the most popular works in the entire repertoire, and in a performance strikingly different from the interpretations to which we have become accustomed.
		Perhaps one of the most reliable measures of its originality is that the Rhapsody had no direct descendants, although it paved the way for Gershwin to produce such other "crossover" works as An American in Paris, the Concerto in F, and, ultimately, the opera Porgy and Bess.
		Early in the days of the LP, its breezy tone and length marked it as a natural flip-side companion to the Rhapsody in Blue, and it has been so coupled ever since.

	Classical Net - Gershwin - Rhapsody in Blue (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-19)
		From the Rhapsody's opening clarinet wail, Gershwin created not symphonic jazz, but the Gershwin idiom: an outdoor, urban, big-hearted, super-Romantic, and thoroughly assured poetry.
		The Rhapsody in Blue (a wonderful title, courtesy of George's brother, Ira) has its detractors, mostly those who know so much about music that they forget to listen to it.
		As its title implies, the work is a bit loose - if you want Beethoven cohesion, look someplace else - but its invention carries most listeners along.

		The Rhapsody is perhaps less the popularly-supposed “fusion of jazz and classical styles”, and more the “Bringing of Broadway to Broadwood” (though I'm not saying he actually used one!).
		Gershwin, of course, soon took another stride across the divide: his subsequent compositions were “all his own work”.
		Having no discernable classical form, Rhapsody in Blue is one of the few genuine “rhapsodies”.

		With the shares shedding 5% of their value after yesterday's announcement of new tiers to its Rhapsody subscription service, and with the stock trading in the single digits for nearly four years now, one would think that maybe it was just the shorts singing along on that snappy little number.
		Even though many had anticipated the Rhapsody To Go tier that was rolled out, given that Napster (Nasdaq: NAPS) already had a similar portable service, you can't blame investors for expecting something bigger.
		Still, I do think the market is underestimating the Rhapsody 25 service that the company did roll out yesterday.

		He is more impressive (as is the orchestra, conducted by Ernest Martinez Izquierdo) riding the rhythmic waves and sudden shifts of Gershwin's Concerto in F, composed the year after "Rhapsody." And performing solo, he handles Gershwin's Prelude No. 2 ("Blue Lullaby") with aplomb.
		My first thought was, "Who needs another version of Rhapsody in Blue?" A couple of listens to this CD provide the answer, giving all the explanation needed to justify Camilo's dive into Gershwin's symphonic repertoire.
		Though I've thought of the Dominican native as primarily a fiery Latin-derived player in the past, here we get an aural glimpse at the classical chops he developed studying for thirteen years at the National Conservatory on his native island.
