Pianist John Bitoy performs Ludwig van Beethoven’s "Piano Sonata No. 27 in E minor," Op. 90, composed in 1814. The American Synchromists Morgan Russell and Stanton Macdonald-Wright revered the Classical period music composer Ludwig van Beethoven and loosely transposed musical concepts to their paintings. Joining four parts, like Beethoven’s piano sonatas, most of which are in three or four movements, Russell’s gesture reveals his aspiration for abstraction in painting to be analogous to music, the

Pianist John Bitoy performs an excerpt of Johann Sebastian Bach’s "The Well-Tempered Clavier," Book 1, Fugue No. 12 in F Minor, BWV 857, published in 1722. František Kupka looked to the fugue, a musical structure characterized by interweaving and repeating a primary theme and one or more contrasting themes, as inspiration for "Disks of Newton (Study for “Fugue in Two Colors”)." Through the work’s subtitle, Kupka subtly points to eighteenth-century Baroque composer Johann Sebastian Bach, who

Patrick Holcomb performs his original composition “Rapture After Schoenberg and Kandinsky,” 2024. “Rapture after Schoenberg and Kandinsky” is inspired by Vasily Kandinsky’s "Improvisation 28 (Second Version)," 1912 and the final movement of Arnold Schoenberg’s String Quartet No. 2, “Entrückung,” 1908.

Kate Ragan presents her original composition “streaking strains dry,” 2024. Sudden, extreme, dynamic, and textural shifts in “streaking strains dry,” 2024 portray Kandinsky’s expressionistic and abstract style in "Improvisation 28 (Second Version)," 1912.
