“Rhapsody in Blue,” George Gershwin’s iconic, soaring work, premiered on Feb. 12 1924 as part of “An Experiment in Modern Music,” a concert that sought to “make a lady out of jazz.” Ryan Raul Bañagale, Associate Professor and Chair of Music at Colorado College, writes for @TheConversationUS about its composition, enduring popularity, and whether it is an appropriation of Black music.
