Music has always been an inspiring muse for art. Caravaggio, Paul Klee, Braque are just a few artists who have ventured into painting works of art in which music is the protagonist. The artistic production of Paul Klee, for example, is boundless. There are about nine thousand works including engravings, drawings, paintings, colored sheets, bas-reliefs In addition to painting, he was also very attentive to other fields of knowledge, such as philosophy, poetry and music. Here is an example of interpenetration between the different expressions of the human mind. It is very important to dwell on the connections between different arts as they allow you to understand them deeply. The analysis is complete if several aspects of different artistic products are considered, the vision broadens and the works on which we focus take on a new light. The great composer Pierre Boulez (1925-2016) elaborates a very important reflection on the relationship between Klee and music. One of the most important assessments to make is linked to the passion for music and the perfect knowledge of the processes of composition, elements that allow us to understand and interpret Kleian painting. Music becomes an intellectual stimulus of a certain value for the artist. The same one used by the artist Miyabi Tanaka to express his mood through notes and melodies. It clarifies the essence and meaning of a work, which consist in finding useful elements to make inspiration concrete. This therefore does not imply that there is a change of language just to meet the tastes of the public, or to say something in the traditional way. The artist must express his feelings according to an inner need. This is an essential rule of the art.
