I remember a song, it was played in some movies about New York City, including a movie by Wody Allen in the beginning (I forget the title of the movie, I do remember it was black and white)… It was…an orchestra piece or something like that… I loved this song, but I don’t know the title…

If the Woody Allen movie you’re thinking of is Manhattan, the song is _Rhapsody in Blue_. You can hear a sample by clicking on the title from the list on the page linked below:
