1．George Gershwin，born in 1998，was one of America's greatest composers．He published his first song when the was eighteen years old．During the next twenty years he wrote more than five hundred songs．
Many of Gershwin's songs were first written for musical plays performed in theatres in New York City．These palys were a popular 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 jazz，some people asked，be considered serious music？In 1924jazz 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 short time，he composed a piece for piano and orchestra which he called Rhapsody in Blue．Gershwin himself played the piano at the concert．The audience 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 well-known musician Nadia Boulanger，but she rejected him．She was afraid that classical study would ruin his jazz-influenced style．While there，Gershwin wrote An American in Paris．When it was first performed，critics （评论家）were divided over 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 sill remains one of his most famous works．
