This book is by Anna Harwell Celenza, illustrated by JoAnne E. Kitchel. The challenge that George Gershwin faced was to write a concerto in five weeks. George didn't know he was supposed to write a concerto, then he read in the newspaper he was supposed to be writing a concerto. George didn't know where to start. He couldn't think of anything to start his new concerto. George had a hard time trying to compose his concerto.
He overcame his obstacle by being inspired by the sounds a train makes. The sounds inspired him by helping him remember the melodies he already knew. George decided to just use those melodies and change them a little. George added a love song for New York and it sounded great. That is how George overcame his obstacle.
