Understanding music
- Description:
- In an episode of "Understanding music," Harry Travis, as Gramps, listens to George Gershwin's "An American in Paris" with "Nancy" and helps her understand the shifting tones of the composition. The two discuss the mournful tone of the first section of the composition, and Gershwin's feelings of homesickness during his stay in Paris, and the livelier sections and the way they relate to his memories of America.
