Rhapsody : Effusively enthusiastic or ecstatic expression of feeling. In music, a rhapsody is a free instrumental composition in an extended movement and is very emotional in character. Really expressive.

Rhapsody In Blue :
- A jazz influenced sound combined the classical sound that is pretty outstanding. Perhaps it's blues, thus, suggesting the title "Rhapsody In Blue".

- The structure of the harmony is difficult to explain in a sense.
