Hi Tyler. Your title triggered me to read : ) again a wonderful blog. The 'Toteninsel' is one of my favorite works by Rachmaninov, but has been many years since I listened to it, thank you. It is super how you painted a different image when thinking about the piece; in my head i stick to the image that inspired it, though I mostly hear the water around it. The French composer Messiaen is very well known for his synesthesia, did you know this? You may like his Turangalila Symphony. Thanks again I look forward to the next email! Jasper
