The famous opening of Gershwin's rhapsody in blue featured a glissando on clarinet trill.
One of the most famous musical bars in history is the two-and-a-half octave solo clarinet glissando that begins Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue. Rhapsody had its world premiere with Gershwin playing the piano, and it was commissioned for a "experimental performance" by Paul Whiteman and his jazz orchestra.
George Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue, created in 1924 for solo piano and jazz band, mixes jazz-influenced effects with classical music components. The piece was commissioned by bandleader Paul Whiteman and debuted on February 12, 1924, in Aeolian Hall, New York City, as part of a concert billed as "An Experiment in Modern Music." The rhapsody was performed by Whiteman's band with Gershwin at the piano. The rhapsody was orchestrated numerous times by Whiteman's arranger Ferde Grofé, including the original 1924 scoring, the 1926 pit orchestra scoring, and the 1942 symphonic scoring.
