Additional information

  moonlight over the dark of one winter evening
  inspired Beethoven to write his Moonlight
  Sonata.
• Listening to it we can first hear the dance of
  spirits upon the lawn, then breathless movement,
  descriptive of flight and uncertainly and then
  vague impulsive terror, which carried us away on
  its rustling wings and left us in emotion and
  wonder.

Additional information

  Aivasovsky. A sudden eruption of Vesuvius

My conclusion

• A word can unite a sound and colour in itself.
• The beauty of our world is expressed in music,
  poems and painting.
• Arts help us to understand, see, hear, feel,
  watch beautiful things around us.
• Arts express liberty of feelings and emotions
  that is as the wind, the sky, the sea.
• We must read books about arts
• We must learn folk songs, dances, handicrafts.
• We must visit museums, art galleries.
• It is impossible to understand classical music
  (sonatas, symphonies, operas) or masterpieces of
  great painters without previous preparation.
