[edit] von Goethe

Interesting piece. I read somewhere that was first who research correlation between colors and sounds Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. Anyone knows anything about this topic? --Popski 07:43, 14 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Does this prove anything?

"When the notes are ordered by the circle of fifths, the colours are in order of a spectrum, indicating that he did not experience the physiological condition of synesthesia,..."

How does the fact that the colors form a spectrum have anything to do with whether S. was a synaesthesist or not? An increasing number of accidentals would mean an increase in harmonic tension (not in Equal Temperament, of course, which wasn't in use until 1917), which could well lead to a synaesthetic correlation. Please explain. -- megA (talk) 18:08, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
