About this exposition

This research contains relevant explainations of the phenomenon of synesthesia and examples and discussion of the possibility of its application in classical music recital programming with the goal of giving both the artist/performer and the audience different expiriences. The research is focused on the approach to preparing a guitar recital through transcriptions and readings of the original repertoire by implementing synesthetic links. The possibilities of the classical guitar as a relatively young instrument are enourmous and in search of a link that can connect all of these possibilities together, this work reflects on inspiring and relevant artists who applied synesthesia in their work alongside the presentation of three personal recital projects which are viewed throught feedback recived from professionals and colleagues. The research is divided into three parts; The first part (Synesthesia) serves as a preparation for the context and argumentation where the emphasis is on collecting relevant discoveries in all fields of art. The second part of the research (Trajectory of the Classical Guitar: Timbre Development) has as a center of attention the timbre of a classical guitar as discussed in the words of guitarists Andres Segovia and Pavel Steidl. The third and central part of the research describes the proposed approach and its application in practice (Recital Projects (Methods)). Two projects/methods arose from existing synaesthetic systems found in the literature; the first system used is an example of the sonority of the circle of fifths and its comparison with the color palette, the other system used comes from the work of the composer Alexander Scriabin (1872-1915) and is closely linked to a synesthetic instrument called „Clavier a lumieres“. The last system used is my own which best describes the connections I see between colors and sounds.
