Abstract

The main problem of identifying musical graphics' phenomenon lies in the absence of obvious relationships between the graphic symbol and what it means in sound equivalent. The composer, creating a graphic score, assumes a certain psychological impact on the way of musical thinking through this graphic form. The process of graphic score's interpretation insists as the transformation of "painting" to sign's system that associated with sound content. The performer analyzes musical graphics from the point of view of searching for regular relationships between the graphic image and musical interpretation, requiring the performer to have such a quality as the ability to synesthesia. The Polish creativity provides rich material for study of synesthesia, and the most important graphic scores were created by Bogusław Schaeffer and Ewa Synowiec.
