This is how it goes to me:
0:00 to 2:57 - New York City being built and growing
2:57 to 3:33 - walking down 5th Ave. in NYC
3:33 to 4:48 - evening rush hour
4:48 to 4:57 - a bag floating on all the wind currents around the building of NYC
4:57 to 5:56 - a train coming into a city from the country side, and driving next to the interstate full of cars
5:56 to 6:03 - a person riding their bike up a hill
6:03 to 6:12 - a person running to work
6:12 to 7:44 - a lovely elderly couple walking through central park, with a person walking past them every so often
7:44 to 7:54 - a taxi being hailed
7:54 to 8:23 - a family band playing in the subway
8:23 to 8:48 - a pair of birds fluttering around
8:48 to 9:02 - a group of friends stumbling around after a night out
9:02 to 9:32 - a lonely car on the street driving out of town
9:32 to 10:12 - morning rush hour
10:12 to 10:37 - a car accident with an ambulance saving the people
10:37 to 11:23 - all the flowers opening to the sunshine
11:23 to 12:26 - someone leaving the city on the train while crying and waiving goodbye to all their friends
12:26 to 12:36 - a light rain over the town before the train leaves
12:36 to 13:40 - the train leaving and the crying person seeing the realizing that they had made the right decision and seeing the beauty of the country side
13:40 to 14:12 - the lover of the person who left chasing the train because they love that person
14:12 to 14:20 - the lover proposes
14:20 to 14:34 - the couple (engaged now) racing back home
14:34 to 15:02 - the couple gets married
15:02 to 15:29 - the couple rushing to jobs and having a child
15:29 to 16:04 - the child's first parade
16:04 to 16:26 - the family playing in the park at the end of a spectacular day.

Sorry this was so long, I hope you liked my interpretation of this piece. Also, kudos to you for reading all of this.

Fun fact: the clarinet solo at the very beginning of the track was basically the musician (virtuoso Ross Gorman) doing an "improvised joke" at a rehearsal of the first concert ever in which this song would be played. Much to his surprise, instead of laughs or discontent from Gershwin, Gorman was met with his immediate approval.

Actually, even though it was a "jokeful" and "improvised" addition to his original composition, Mr. Gershwin loved it so much he chose to modify the clarinet part so it would always be played that way.

@@origamiandcats6873 Well, almost. In the US, in order for a work to be in the public domain, it must be made so at least 95 years after its initial publication (this used to be 56, however Disney changed all that in the 90s, which is why we have the 95 year law), as well as 70 years after the death of the author, like in other countries. Exceptions to this law include works that have a faulty or missing copyright, like D.O.A. (1950), Night of the Living Dead (1968), and Plan 9 from Outer Space (1959), works that have no copyright due to a decision by the creator, like Creative Commons works, works that have failed to renew their copyright, like Max Fleischer cartoons and almost the entire extant DuMont Television Network archive, works that aren't made by a human (see Stern Electronics Inc. v. Kaufman, which rules that video game images may be copyrighted), and works made by the federal government, like the Private Snafu cartoons.

This might be the most perfect piece ever composed. The complexity: it's a roller coaster of emotions from elation and determination to sadness, isolation and defeat, back to unabashed triumph. Like all the emotions of New York, the can-do attitude, the downtrodden, the forgotten, the glorious. The serenity, even whimsical humor with the muted trumpets. I don't think I've ever managed to make it through this piece without getting teary-eyed. It was an absolute tragedy Gershwin was taken at such a young age. That mind...that mind what it could have done if given even more time.

@darklordsauron3415

“I have the feeling that I have just scraped the surface of what I really want to do.”

Seems all the most influential composers/songwriters died around 35-39. Like Mozart, Chopin. Stephen Foster, and of course Gershwin.

People are naming the glissando/smears and yeah that’s definitely part of it, but I think another important component is how a lot of the notes will have one slightly lower note come just before them, so even if it’s supposed to read as one hit rather than some big glissando, it still has that really pleasant ‘scooping’ effect.

That wasn't supposed to actually be there. One of the clarinetists of the orchestra did that during a rehearsal the week before its premiere. He said he jokingly did that to provide a whimsical air. Gerschwin asked him to do it for the performance, and it's been so ever since

Classical meets Jazz. More music like this should've been composed, they can fuse so well but are largely separate in the music world.

Gregory Cook too much snobbery

Well it's not that easy to do... This requires a special composing talent and a special level of craziness that only probably a few people ever achieved. Honestly, I can't fully understand this music, though I listen to (and play) both classical and jazz. The various musical ideas feel too disconnected from each other, and my shallow brain can't get one complet picture.... I'm sad

There's a whole Genre which is based on Classical-Jazz, its called "Third Stream"

I heard in music appreciation class in the '50s that this is considered "progressive jazz".

He Gershwin didn't even make it to 40. We as a Nation have so much to be thankful for. I love the American Art of early 20th century.

This will forever be one of my favorite musical pieces ever, and will always remind me of my oldest niece when she was like a week old and i made her listen to this, her reaction to it, she kept flinching with the piano in a way i thought she was gonna cry, but she kept listening raising her little arms with a look of surprise in her beautiful eyes, i'll never forget it, it fills my heart with love for this music and the thought of the beautiful young woman my dear niece has become.

It has to be the clarinet because this is probably the most recognizable clarinet piece and if you mess it up, society will destroy your hopes and dreams

The very first time I heard this was in Disney's Fantasia. (Wasn't even my favourite segment in terms of animation, but the music left an impression even back then.) I always kinda assumed that a lot of people my generation got their first hear of Gershwin in Fantasia. Anyone else?

@annettehasnas7002

+Youlia Hadzhidimova Not my very first, but one of the first. My dad really likes Gershwin, so I've known the song for as long as I can remember. Some of my earliest memories of it are linked to Fantasia, though.

I vividly remember this section in elementary school and going oh that was good but had no idea why. Even at a young age it moved me. At least once a year I listen up to the end of this piece and still cry every time. Imo it's the most beautiful thing I have ever heard in my 53 years of life. Just perfect.

I started piano lessons at age 8. When I was 15 I went to sleep every single night listening to this on vinyl.........as I struggled and struggled to master this. It never happened. At 11:20 that sweet violin still brings a tear to my eye. BTW.....I'm old as dirt now and have loved this my entire life.
