Best Answer

Rhapsody in Blue (1924), Concerto in F (1925) and An American in Paris (1928) are among Gershwin's most famous symphonic works.

Elements from the Rhapsody have been used numerous times in popular culture, notably in American TV ads for United Airlines for over two decades. It includes some of the best-known themes ever written by an American composer. These are recognizable to many people who do not know the name of the piece.

George Gershwin is also famous for Porgy and Bess (1935), one of the best known and most widely performed American operas, although it flopped on its premiere. George Gershwin wrote many Broadway musicals with his brother Ira. The brothers also wrote dozens of popular songs that have become standards, and George wrote many popular songs on his own.
