Bernstein didn't always sing the praises of Gershwin, though he loved "Rhapsody." Gershwin became great friends with Maurice Ravel. On one occasion George asked if he could study with Ravel. Maurice is said to have replied, "Why would you want to be a second-rate Ravel when you can be a first-rate Gershwin!"
