Kauffmann was an accomplished musician she played the zither and clavichord. So, in the end, I art history was the best choice for me. However, my enjoyment and love for art (and art history!) doesn’t ever seem to go away, despite how much I learn or how critically I think.
I’ve found that my enjoyment of music lessens if I focus on theory and technique too much I end up overanalyzing musical scores and critiquing performances instead of just listening.
With only a minor in music, I felt like I could still learn and refine my singing skills but remain somewhat distant from the discipline. In the end, though, I decided to major in art history and minor in music. In some ways, I still wish that I had kept up with my classical singing, especially when I listen to singers like Renée Fleming or Patricia Petibon (the latter is a recent discovery – she’s fantastic!). At the beginning of college I continually felt compelled to study vocal performance, music education or choral conducting. I play the piano and studied classical voice for several years.
I can relate to this painting quite well: during my first year and a half as an undergraduate, I couldn’t decide whether to major in music or art history.
