The Music Lesson |
| This
elegant Beaux Art style carving conveys the
essence of the art of musical performance
- the climatic moment of audience surrender.
Its wider interpretation nails the era in
the history of popular music when the decorous
good taste of symphonic product succumbed
its sugarcoated petticoats to the aggressive,
stripped down power of the emerging Boogie
Beat. This use of allegorical symbolism applied
to pop culture, is a cutting-edge concept
that serves to link contemporary rhythm dominant
music with the larger established pantheon
of High Art. Roll over Mancini indeed!
