It is said that when Mozart heard sounds he perceived them as colours, and that when music played, rainbows streamed across his vision. This phenomenon is known as Synaesthesia, the word deriving from the Greek meaning a ‘coming together’ or ‘union of the senses’. Synaesthesia takes many forms,(although sound-to-colour is reported to be the most common). Some people perceive sounds as textures, (auditory-tactile), while others experience words as tastes,(lexical-gustatory). It was once thought that Synaesthesia was a pathological condition. However it’s now recognised as a natural ability that some people, like Mozart, possess to a high degree.
