Discover how influential figures in music history, such as Franz Liszt and Ludwig van Beethoven, described their compositions using a vibrant palette of colors. This exploration into "color music" highlights the fascinating concept of synesthesia, where composers associated specific keys and moods with visual imagery. We examine how this unique approach to composition, exemplified by masters like Rimsky-Korsakov, enriched classical music and continues to captivate audiences.

For example, Franz Liszt described his dramatic intentions with phrases that included color like "I need more pink here" or "this is too black" or "I want it all azure." Ludwig von Beethoven is reported to have referred to B minor as the black key. Franz Schubert is said to have likened E minor unto "a maiden robed in white with a red rose bow on her breast." Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov associated the color of sunlight with the key of C major and a strawberry red with the note of F#.
