Quote by Giacomo Puccini, from Talks with
. . . colors like a flourish of trumpets or pianissimo on the violin, great, calm, oscillating, splintered surgances . . . . Is this not form?
Summary
This quote suggests that colors have the ability to evoke strong emotions and sensations, much like the sound of trumpets or the subtlety of a violin playing softly. The phrase "great, calm, oscillating, splintered surgances" indicates that colors can create various forms and visual experiences that are dynamic and fragmented. The question raised in the quote invites the reader to consider whether these vivid and expressive qualities of color can be seen as a form of artistic expression.
