Mahler & Wagner

I think that both of these pieces have one thing in common; colors. The beginning of the Mahler seems like a dark purple, with mysterious entrances of brighter colors. The start of the Wagner portrays a deep red color with the ominous feel of the minor 3rd in the bass, while flashes of yellow appear with the French Horn entrances. I think of Fantasia when I listen to these, and like the movie, colors appear in my mind that are constantly changing with the piece.
