George Gershwin， born in 1898，was one of America’s greatest

form of entertainment in the 1920s and 1930s。 Many of his songs have
remained popular as ever。 Over the years they have been sung and played
in every possible way—from jazz to country.
In the 1920s there was a debate in the United States about jazz music.
Could jazzz, some people asked, be considered serious music? In 1924
jazz musician and orchestra leader Paul Whiteman decided to organize a
special concert to show that jazz was serious music。 Gershwin agreed to
compose something for the concert before he realized he had just a few
weeks to do it. And in that show time, he composed a piece for piano and
orchestra which he called Rhapsody in Blue。 Gershwin himself played the
piano at the concert. The sudience were thrilled when they heard his
music。 It made him world。famous and showed that jazz music could be
both serious and popular。
In 1928， Gershwin went to Paris. He applied to study
composition(作曲） with the wellknown musician Nadia Boulanger， but
she rejected him. She was afraid that classical study would ruin his
jazzinfluenced style. While there， Gershwin wrote An American in
Paris。 When it was first performed, critics （评论家)were divided over 学必求其心得，业必贵于专精
the music。 Some called it happy and full of life， to others it was silly and
boring。 But it quickly became popular in Europe and the United States.
It still remains one of his most famous works。
George Gershwin died in 1937， just days after doctors learned he
had brain cancer. He was only thirty。nine years old。 Newspapers all
over the world reported his death on their front pages. People mourned
the loss of the man and all the music he might have still written。
