Bemerkung: John France (2023): An understanding of Kandinskyâs art theories infuses Guten Morgen, Herr Kandinsky! The artist insisted that Points, Line and Planes are âthe three basic structural and dynamic paradigms of not only the cosmos and nature but also of music and the visual artsâ. The Point is the beginning of all things, the Line is in effect a moving Point, and a Plane represents multiple Lines, producing a composition ⊠Kandinsky reveals how âgeometrical, physical, aesthetic, and spiritual concepts coexist naturallyâ:https://musicwebinternational.com/2024/03/duo-menurida-in-two-minds-metier

Bemerkung: La Primavera is a series of âsound portraitsâ for solo flute, inspired by the nine figures in Botticelliâs painting, one of the most beautiful, mysterious, and cryptic of all time [...] In the painting, most of the characters are either dancing or posed in dance-like actions, linking it to Harlequin Dances for solo harp, one of the âsatelliteâ works inspired by characters from Cowieâs opera Commedia (1977).

The painting radiates light and movement, and this is reflected in Cowieâs music, which epitomises the limpid and hugely flexible sonorities and brilliance of the flute. The series of variants follow the figures in the painting from left to right, âblownâ into the music by Zephyrus, signifying the breath of the flautist. In the painting, most of the characters are either dancing or posed in dance-like actions [...]: https://edwardcowie.com/recordings
