11. George GershwinRhapsody in Blue

I chose this because it was always there. And it also links to Manhattan and Woody Allen films. It’s just for me the best musical piano piece I can think of. It’s modern, uplifting, beautiful and romantic. It’s quite empowering too.

The energy that I find in New York today is exactly that. There’s something I can’t explain, something very uplifting and invigorating. I’m not sure I’ll live there very long, I just needed a break. It’s my fourth year so I’m hoping I can still live there a little bit more and then maybe I’ll come back to Paris. Rhapsody In Blue is a piece I would have loved to have played on the piano but I don’t have that level unfortunately.
