Roxie Remley

High school music appreciation classes served as my early background in classical music when we listened to Walter Damrosch give commentary during an hour of recorded music on radio in the 1930’s.

Listening to the recorded Symphony No. 3 EROICA last year on the radio, I began to visualize how sounds could lead me into a painting. Beethoven’s EROICA is composed in four movements of contrasting moods and change of keys. This break away from the classical style was occurring in other arts of the 18th century Europe in painting, sculpture, architecture, drama, dance and poetry.
