Society in both times will have what they consider "elegant" and "beauty" in orchestral music or music in general. The earlier quartet is all the words that you described--charming, poise, and beauty. The modern quartet is graceful as well. You can see their emotions being conveyed through their electric instruments.Lacie Madisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07504124533112235611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4447020772809150478.post-64724045068436003642020-06-28T15:24:30.045-04:002020-06-28T15:24:30.045-04:00Simply put: Beauty is as beauty does - appropriate...Simply put: Beauty is as beauty does - appropriately for each in their own times. The earlier quartet of women were charming and lovely in their time. The women in the more modern quartet are charming and lovely - with perhaps a bit of a wink - in their time as are their instruments. Personally, I prefer the modern gals as they are more interesting to watch, and their music has a fuller, richer sound to my ear. It is interesting to note, however, beauty is a united factor in both quartets!La Nightingailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04769079547153094005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4447020772809150478.post-85276527518804321292020-06-28T14:41:39.681-04:002020-06-28T14:41:39.681-04:00What a unique contribution to this week's Sepi...What a unique contribution to this week's Sepia Saturday -- allowing us to compare and contrast. Each quartet appears to represent the musical talents and beauty of their age. I love how the electronic instruments of the modern quartet allude to the shape of their earlier cousins -- and how, modern though they be, they are still attired in white.Molly's Canopyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01571003887840906315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4447020772809150478.post-60195880391210937032020-06-28T13:39:16.989-04:002020-06-28T13:39:16.989-04:00As the text emphasizes - charm, poise and beauty...As the text emphasizes - charm, poise and beauty personified.
