The first question that comes to the mind of the intelligent person is: What is it in color and in sound that appeals to us? It is the tone and rhythm, of color as well as of sound, which have an influence on the tone and rhythm of our being. Our being is our capacity for the resonance of the tone and rhythm which come from sound and color. This capacity enables us to be influenced by sound and color. Thus some have a liking for a certain color, others have a liking for another color. In the way of sound some are attracted to a certain kind of sound.

  • In the range of voice some are attracted to the baritone or to the bass voice,
  • others are attracted to the tenor and soprano.
  • There are some to whom the deep sound of the cello appeals;
  • there are others who are interested in the sound of the violin;
  • some can enjoy even the thick sound of the horn and the trombone;
  • others can enjoy the flute.
