Another fragmentary post from August of 2012.
Ever since my life-changing Rhapsody in Blue experience, I've been trying to replicate it by carefully listening to all kinds of classical music. Though I have definitely enjoyed the new exposure, I have not had that same pure transfer of a concrete thought the way I did with RiB.
So last night I listened to RiB again, beginning to end, for the first time since that fateful even. Would the effect still be the same? I was almost nervous to listen.
Yes. The effect was even intensified the second time around.
Why was this piece different? Are there any others like it? I've been pondering, and here is what I have come up with:
1) Gershwin is pure genius. Shall I name my next son George?
