[Man proposes, news disposes]

You folks haven't mentioned my favorite 20th century classical composer:
George Gershwin.  I spent a whole damn year learning the piano part
of the "Rhapsody In Blue", a concerto for piano & orchestra.
When I was 17 and could play up a storm Gershwin's stuff was a revelation,
and I still enjoy playing it more than anything else.
He died at age 38 (brain cancer) and didn't leave much serious stuff behind.
