Arts and Interpretation: My List

1) Poetry- The Wound Dresser by Walt Whitman
2) Music- Beethoven's 5th Symphony
3) Painting- The Twittering Machine by Paul Klee

I have chosen these works of art because I find them interesting and discovered them through music. I've played Beethoven's Symphony once and got a better understanding through music history class. I discovered The Wound Dresser after hearing a version for voice and orchestra by John Adams. Finally, The Twittering Machine is also the name of a movement from 5 Klee Pictures by Peter Maxwell Davies, which I am playing in Orchestra this semester.
