Gershwin: Rhapsody In Blue (piano solo)

[@GalacticCap1]

I'm a big 11:04 Fan! My brother played this part so softly and beautifully that I cried when I heard 50 years ago and it has never left my mind. I called him up tonight and wept again with him on the phone. Forget the jazzy parts. Give me that soft melody. Love the song and love my brother Rufus Powell.

Gershwin must've had very fast fingers. It was said that by the time this piece premiered, Gershwin just ad libbed the piano part and he played so hard he saw some blood on the keys. Now I see what they meant.

[@marukommk6583]

In the end of 2020, I was at a piano tuner who also sells repaired, new and used pianos, with my parents and my piano teacher to try some pianos and choose one to be my first accustic piano. We tried four pianos, and in the end I chose the first one we tried, because when my teacher played the part at 11:04 to try it I just fell in love with its beautiful sound. I knew the part already, but I didn't know it was from the Rhapsody in Blue. The moment I heard him playing I knew it was going to me my piano. And I also knew that this is another master piece Im looking foward to learn besides Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2. Gershwin composed such a master piece.

[@ytpaletot1]

"The famous sliding clarinet solo opening the work is not by Gershwin, and was not included in the original score. This is an addition by clarinetist Ross Gorman during a rehearsal, the latter then working for Paul Whiteman5. This solo has long been feared by solo clarinetists, for the level of technicality required. An unusual anecdote: Georges Grisez, first clarinetist of the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, died on stage in 1946 just after having completed it" wikipedia.

[@elsievalenzuela2422]

What is a rhapsody?

[@yoboifranny7021]

Although even from experience, it is hard to define, I like to think a rhapsody as a progressive series of improvisations (like in Rhapsody in Blue) with no pure repetitions (like in Bohemian Rhapsody). Its progression is made with different moods; e.g. 5:36 is upbeat, whilst 11:04 is tranquil and beautiful. In simplification, just think of it as themes improvised many times with some extra sections.
