Dive into the world of music and visual art with ‘Promenades’ hosted by Francesco Fusaro. In our third episode, ‘On Paper and On Canvas,’ we examine the relationship between music scores and visual artworks. Explore Modest Mussorgsky’s ‘Pictures at an Exhibition’ and Cathy Berberian’s ‘Stripsody’ to understand how these pieces transform visual art into musical form. The episode features insights from texts by Maurizio Corbella, Tim Rutherford-Johnson, and narratives from Fusaro himself.
