"Melancholic Music" by Albert Ritzberger.

13yo will be auditioning in April for a spot in next school year's Musical Theater class.

For her audition, she must choose & prep two contrasting songs from the Golden Age of musicals.

She has chosen:

"My Favorite Things" from The Sound of Music &
"I Hate Men" from Kiss Me, Kate.

Yesterday she had her first coaching session with my dad, a retired opera singer.

This entire situation delights me beyond all reason. ☺️😍☺️🤩🤩🤩

Instagram story rants…

Anti-Intellectualism: Clinging to "lack of privilege" and "lack of exposure to the arts" as a reason to, uh, [checks notes]… Rabidly insult anyone lucky enough (through dumb chance and no thanks to my actual life circumstances, I assure you) to HAVE that privilege and exposure? Not helping your cause, sweetie. If not everyone can fit at the table, you build a bigger table. You don't destroy the table altogether in a fit of spite.

+++

Not sure how saying "there are $10 opera tix available" got to me being told to "take my meds and control my emotions," but… there you go. I guess if some people can't have nice things, then NOBODY should have nice things, instead of making nice things more accessible. And THAT is anti-intellectualism. HOW DARE YOU HAVE READ A BOOK. SOME PEOPLE CAN'T READ AT ALL. SHUT THE LIBRARIES DOWN. YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF FOR NOT KEEPING YOURSELF IGNORANT AND EQUAL WITH THE LEAST OF THESE. NO ONE SHOULD RISE ABOVE THE LOWEST BAR.

+++

Ah yes, the "cultural privilege" of being raised fundamentalist Christian so classical music was one of the few genres I was ALLOWED to explore. My bad.

Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations is now 250 years old. Did you know that he thought plenty of the arts too? Not just about economics and trade.

It gets brighter, warmer, lusher out...and I feel like making something beautiful. So a place like this starts to seem really appealing to stay for a day...a week...a season...aw, let's be honest, the rest of the year. 🙃

Davidson Knowles's lovely "Watercolours by the Window".

She looks so cold...yet also like exactly the kind of girl who could dream up a song and sing it in such a way that you'll remember it unto the day you die...

Paul Rudnick: "Ric Grenell, Trump's repulsive lackey, says artists who've canceled performances at the Kennedy Center are niche talent. He is emphasizing shows for 'Republicans with families.' The upcoming season will consist solely of the movie MELANIA and videos of ICE agents murdering civilians."

She's giving "absorbing the text" a whole new meaning...Pierre-Auguste Cot's depiction of the lovely intersection between comprehension and performance, "Ophelia, or a Young Lady Reading".

It's in a quiet way, but this is one girl who looks like she's about to have a seriously fun time, "At the Piano"; painting by Albert Edelfelt.

#art #traditionalart #painting #oilpainting #beautifulwoman #beautifulgirl #piano #pianist #thearts #music

Hot Take: We need another means of determining Artistic Merit (I know, I know, whole can o' worms) besides sales, and artists (of all media: books, visual, music, etc) should receive some kind of UBI instead of relying exclusively on sales to perpetuate and facilitate the production of their art.

(As a musician I acknowledge this gets complicated when you factor in things like touring, but I'll allow "performance" or "exhibition" as a separate category from "creation," so ticket sales can help fund the whole production team.)

I support copyright in terms of "intellectual property," but not in terms of sales and distribution of media.

We need to divorce the creation AND consumption of art from money.

Perhaps we all have our pain, but when we throw ourselves into our cherished art, the quietest sort of joy emerges into view...

"The Recital" by Wilhelm Kreling.

The look of a master builder...only this genius doesn't make buildings, he decorates them. With images of the finest beauty mother nature has to offer. Edwin Long's vision of the arts: "The Chosen Five".
