''An American in Paris'' is a Symphonic composition by American composer George Gershwin which debuted in 1928 . Inspired by Gershwin's time in Paris , it is in the form of an extended Tone Poem evoking the sights and energy of the French capital in the 1920s . In addition to the standard instruments of the Symphony Orchestra , the score features period automobile horns; Gershwin brought back some Parisian taxi-cab horns for the New York premiere of the composition.
