Summary

Introduction

As it is well-known from the statements by O. Shakespeare, Olivier made stained glass-like scenery using transparent wrappers and packaging materials painted in different colors, put the decorations to the windows. Messian had such rare natural quality as synesthesia, while listening to music, in his imagination different colors, corresponding to different sounds, appeared. Borrowing the painting principle of the simultaneous contrast, the composer applied it in his musical works, for example, in chord constructions.
