He was violent and unbridled, and the press derided him as "the wildest beast of all".

Wassily Kandinsky | VI - Il linguaggio delle forme e dei colori

Lo spirituale nell'arte, 1910

L'uomo che non ha musica in se stesso

che l`armonia dei suoni non commuove

sa il tradimento, e la perfida frode.

Le sue emozioni sono una notte cupa

i suoi pensieri un Erebo nero.

Alla musica credi, non a lui.

Shakespeare

Il suono musicale giunge direttamente all'anima. E vi trova subito un'eco, perché l'uomo "ha la musica in sé".

"Si sa che il giallo, l'arancione e il rosso ispirano e rappresentano un'idea di gioia, di ricchezza" (Delacroix).
