  • Buzzing Strings/Resonant Beauty (last edited: 2025) author(s): Leslee Smucker This exposition is in progress and its share status is: visible to all.
    The project “buzzing strings/Resonant Beauty” is about exploring aesthetic choices related to tone production in string instrument playing, especially violin playing. I wanted to explore possibilities of sound conceptualized as beautiful, and challenge my learned concepts as what qualifies as a ‘beautiful’ tone production, the make and sound of an instrument, and testing biases that have been taught to me through western classical musical pedagogy and canon.
