I absolutely fkn ❤️ this original clarinet opening from the 1924 Rhapsody in Blue by George Gershwin.
It sounds like every time I’ve ever fallen in love or stepped into something unknown. There’s this hazy, almost sleepy curiosity that suddenly stretches wide open into new possibility.
It’s mysterious, optimistic, a little unpolished in the best way… & then, out of nowhere, it’s alive.
I could loop that first 50 seconds forever. 🎼
