In our visually-oriented society, music appears to stand apart from other arts. Yet just as a poet can write a poem whose focus is a painting, so musicians have composed scores based on poems, and paintings. This study investigates how three French composers of the twentieth century, express extra-musical subtexts in their piano works.
