    Rhapsody in Blue — Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra
    George Gershwin, composer

    1. This is one of my favorite pieces of music ever written.
    2. It’s 18 minutes long.
    3. If you actually listen to the entire thing, email me.
    an immortal and truly American piece of music. i didn’t know Gershwin’s orchestral work had so many fans on Tumblr. has anyone listened to his “Cuban Overture” or “An American In Paris”?
