George Gershwin - An American In Paris free for downloading

I'm a Chinese from Hong Kong and live California now.Many many years ago (maybe 20 or 30 years ago ),I listen its theme (7:45 )occasional and love it immediately . It's true there is no gap in our world with music wherever we living.

Creating musical masterpieces and smoking a cigar how cool is that?

Gershwin is just like Chopin, they had a short life but their music are brilliant!

Having been an American in Paris, this music speaks to the wonder and amazement you feel when you walk the streets of that amazing city. I can't believe how well the music tells the story.

to me the best American classical jazz composer ever.  Rhapsody in Blue is a masterpiece

I remember not being able to sleep on a family holiday so I tuned on to a classical music radio station I liked on my phone and what came up was this

That beautiful melody at 7:45 that just goes on throughout the whole piece really gives me such a relaxed warm feeling whenever I hear it.

I can't handle how amazing this music is. I think I might die cause it's so good.

Whenever I heard his music, I thought, this is America! Optimistic, full of energy, glamorous sound of brass.

I used to listen to this and Rhapsody in Blue on a tape that my grandfather gave me when I was a kid. Brings back memories.

Tragic. He was so talented. The harmonies are sublime. The dissonance makes the sound so special.

If this piece doesn't evoke imagery, I don't know what does. Somebody should make an 18 minute music video. Then again, maybe the 1951 Gene Kelly movie does that already. Who's seen it?

As the saying goes "They don't make 'em like that any more". Ah, the "good old days" - the Gershwins, Paul Whiteman, Louis Armstrong, Al Jolson, etc, etc, etc,.  Many thanks and blessings for uploading such memories

Playing this in my orchestra (: A real delight. I love this piece! 

   My God. And he only lived till age 39?!? Can you imagine what music could've come out of that brilliant mind if he had lived like some composers to say, 80 or 90? 

Brilliant piece of music, which stands the test of time, - like Rhapsody In Blue and all the other Gershwin Classics...

Beautiful. There's a small part where a violin has a solo and kind of wobbles along. It's caring and kind and open. So lovely.

I play flute for The Chicago Youth Symphony Orchestra and we are playing this piece. We just started out and I am in 8th grade. Please send help...

I liked the part from 00:00 to 18:16
