37 Additional information It is not a secret that the calm flouring 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.

38 Additional information All of you know a canvas Vesuvius at Night by Aivasovsky. A sudden eruption of Vesuvius happened early in the morning in 79 AD and the town was covered with 7 meters of ashes for 18 centuries. A popular Italian composer Puccini wrote his opera The last Day of Pompeii. The opera inspired a great Russian painter Briullov to create his famous painting under the same title.

39 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.
