樂曲解說

藍色狂想曲是喬治·格甚溫於 1924 年為獨奏鋼琴和爵士樂隊創作的音樂作品，結合了古典音樂的元素和受爵士影響的效果。 1924 年、1926 年和 1946 年，費爾德·格羅菲三度編曲了這首作品。這首曲子於 1924 年 2 月 12 日在新的風神音樂廳舉行的一場題為“現代音樂實驗”的音樂會上首演。約克，保羅懷特曼和他的樂隊與格甚溫彈鋼琴。由格羅菲於 1942 年編排的鋼琴和交響樂團版本已成為美國最受歡迎的音樂會作品之一。

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 composition was orchestrated by Ferde Grofé three times, in 1924, in 1926, and finally in 1946. The piece received its premiere in a concert entitled An Experiment in Modern Music, which was held on February 12, 1924, in Aeolian Hall, New York, by Paul Whiteman and his band with Gershwin playing the piano. The version for piano and symphony orchestra, orchestrated by Ferde Grofé in 1942, has become one of the most popular American concert works.
