Rhapsody in Blue is believed to be one of George Gershwin's "serious" pieces. This piece embodies the jazz age in the 20th century with its upbeat lyricism and its dance-driven mentality. This piece is the epitome of what the Jazz Age meant at that time.
George Gershwin's piece, Rhapsody in Blue was in one of Walt Disney's all time famous animation films, Fantasia 2000. This video sets the scene by outlining the many buildings in New York City, where we have a late worker getting ready quickly to avoid getting fired and you have the hustle and bustle of workers getting to work on time. The main point of this video was to show that there are so many different kinds of people in New York City all helping to achieve each others goals, if they know it or not.
