1.'EARN1NO
Program
You are to imagine an American, visiting Paris, swinging down the Champs Elysees on
a mild, sunny morning in May or June. Being what he is, he starts without preliminaries,
and is off at full speed at once, to the tune of The First Walking Theme, a straightforward, diatonic air designed to convey an impression of Gallic freedom and gaiety.
Measure
Section
Program
Violins and oboes present 1sc Walking Theme. The
Allegretto grazioso, the 2/4 meter, and the use of
acciaccaturas substantiate the nonchalant 'marching'
character of the passage.

Here is a 're-arranged' version of the previous passage
(irregular meter of figures of 2/8 and 3/8):
Program
Our American's ears being open, as well as his eyes, he notes with pleasure the sounds
of the city. French taxicabs seem to amuse him particularly, a fact that the orchestra
points out in a brief episode introducing four Parisian taxi hams. These have a special
theme allotted to then (the driver, possibly?), which is announced by the strings
whenever they appear in the score.
Measure

Program
The structure of this section is divided in two main ideas.
The first idea, Taxi Cab Theme, is performed by oboes,
clarinets, violins, and taxi-horns (mm. 28-31).

Its characteristic augmented 4th interval (Db-G) leaves

"Parisian taxi homs... announced by the strings... "
@al!plea
1.£AR'NING
The second passage (mm. 32-35) consists of 'divisive
rhythms' (rhythms of 3/8 on a meter of 2/4).
Similar to m. 28 but Taxi Cab Theme (violins and
woodwinds) is now a whole step higher (m. 38).
The second section has also been transformed. The
'divisive rhythm' section (originally in mm. 32-35) has
been substituted by the alternation of the two 'taxi horn'
motifs: the one ending on a 'G' and the one ending on an
'A' (mm. 40-43).
Section 44-59 is similar to previous section (36-43).
However, with the probable goal of increasing the
depiction of chaotic traffic, Gershwin transposed the
section half a step higher.
Several elements seem to indicate the increase in 'traffic'
activity:
• Increase in tempo (from giocoso to vivo) with
accelerando (animando).
• Chromatic movement:
o Two-measure motive of brass (Taxi Cab
Theme) : mm. 60-61 which is chromatically
transposed in 62-63) .
o Movement in clarinets (60-63) and
oboes/bassoons/horns (64-67).
o Mostly chromatic line in higher strings, flutes
and clarinet I (64-67).
• Dotted rhythms
However, everything comes back to a calm moment
starting in m. 68:
• Descending melodic contour (m. 68).
• Ritenuto (m. 71)
• Fermata (m.72)
• At m. 70 the section ends with bass clarinet that
plays a variation of one of the motifs from 1st
Walking Theme (originally played atm. 7).

The additive rhythm (m. 78, 2/8) 'creates' a measure of
3/4 with the previous measure. All this precedes the
return to 1st Walking Theme.

1sr Waking Theme is presented with similar melodic
structure and, to a certain extent, orchestration than at the
beginning. Oboes and violin present the first four
measures of the theme. However, the second part of the
theme (m. 83) presents some variations:
• flff dynamics

• different instrumentation (flutes and French horns
with the theme and harmonic support of lower
brass)
• transposition % step higher in m. 87 (G# and F#

At this point, the American's itinerary becomes somewhat obscured. It may be that he
continues on down the Champs Elysees; it may be that he has fumed off.-the
composer retains an open mind on the subject. However, since what immediately

assuming that the Gershwin pen, guided by an unseen hand, has perpetrated a musical

in the woodwinds.
• French horns playing the 'head' of 1st Walking

overwhelmingly, that he does not belong to this place, that he is the most wretched

the Eiffel Tower, the bookstalls on the quay, the pattern of horse chestnut leaves on the
white, sun-flecked street-what avails all this alien beauty? He is not Baudelaire,
longing to be "anywhere out of the World." The world is just what he longs for, the world
