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. Although Gershwin himself spoke of the rhapsody as "a musical kaleidoscope of America", Rhapsody in Blue has often been interpreted as a musical portrait of New York City. This video montage of Manhattan was edited by Gilda Tabarez from various wallpapers, stock footage courtesy of Shutterstock (used with permission) and images found on Wikimedia Commons.

Gilda....I sent it today to all my close friends,,even my boss...I am a professional pianist at a 4 star hotel in NY( 32 years ..same gig). I have been promoting the video with the passion of an "evangelical"...LOL . I am not easily impressed..but seeing this brought all the years of being in love with the Gershwin songbook to the surface. I am thrilled hearing back from you. Thank you again for this modern masterpiece. What a shame today's kids are not aware of truly great music and art!

Thanks a million for one of the nicest comments I've ever received! I am thoroughly delighted that you enjoyed the video, and deeply grateful that you are helping to promote it. Gershwin's music captures the indomitable spirit and vitality of America, which is both uplifting and nostalgic, especially during these dark times.

First and foremost, this is by far, without reservation THE BEST VIDEO ON YOUTUBE!!! Secondly, I'm assuming Gilda Tabarez did the videography...you couldn't have captured Gershwin's feeling of Manhattan any better. You are a GENIUS. I have always loved this piece, and wondered why no one has ever done what you have with this video. this is superb and outstanding. I will promote this video and help get it to one million views. This should be seen on PBS. thank you so much for your effort!

What a wonderful merger of a great classic musical piece mixed with such exciting visuals. Thank you so much for putting that together (no small feat I'm sure) and posting it on this forum. I will keep this in the folder I've dubbed "songs I love" although to call this piece a "song" would be an insult. But I know what "songs I love" means to me. It's just a folder and it contains the best I've found on You Tube. This one belongs there. Thank you!

Gilda - Fantastico! What a lovely tribute to Gershwin and New York!! I looked for the WTCenter in the photos - not sure if I saw the twoers?
I saw Leonard Bernstein conduct AND play Rhapsody In Blue at The Hollywood Bowl in the early 1980's. My friend's Mom - who was with us - grew up in Leonard's neighborhood in New York. She said they used to call him 'Little Lenny Bernstein'.

Thank you! But I really can't take credit for this music. I just happened to click on a link and came here. But thank you, nonetheless.
