Lectures Today On Orchestras In City Club Hall
Paul E Beck State Supervisor of Public School Music lectured on The Mechanism and Dynamic Construction of the Modern Symphony Orchestra at the Wednesday Club in Fahnestock Hall. Slides from Philadelphia New York and Chicago orchestras illustrated the talk, which contrasted early colorless writing with modern orchestral color and technique. He noted how audiences miss the mechanics behind the music and likened the orchestra to a painter using colors to reveal deep purples, browns, and reds in masterworks.
