Lord Byron, It is good to go and meet everybody. Here it is a new custom of advertising. A real person walks up and down the street carrying an advertisement of near by Restaurant or sandwich shop. You can do the same for radio 3. However they should pay.

I will, time is now. There is nothing else can be done. But I am going to wait for you come back. You have to tell me about Messian and colors because I don't know much about it. We can not leave my knowledge and such a pitiful state. Please time is now.

From the wikipedia page about Messiaen......

Colour
Colour lies at the heart of Messiaen's music. Messiaen said that the terms "tonal", "modal" and "serial" (and other such terms) are misleading analytical conveniences,[33] and that for him there were no modal, tonal or serial compositions, only music with colour and music without colour.[34] For Messiaen the composers Claudio Monteverdi, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Chopin, Richard Wagner, Mussorgsky and Stravinsky all wrote strongly coloured music.[35] In addition, Messiaen experienced mild synaesthesia, manifested as the experience of colours when he heard or imagined music (he said that he did not perceive the colours visually). In certain of Messiaen's scores, he notated the colours in the music (notably in Couleurs de la Cité Céleste and Des canyons aux étoiles…) — Messiaen's purpose being to aid the conductor in interpretation rather than to specify which colours the listener should experience.

George Benjamin said, when asked what Messiaen's main influence had been on composers, "I think the sheer […] colour has been so influential, […] rather than being a decorative element, [Messiaen showed that colour] could be a structural, a fundamental element, […] the fundamental material of the music itself."[36]

Thank you, BobbyZ. I did not know that Messian thought of music as colours. I knew that he liked birds and collected their songs.
I only knew that composer Scriabin connected keys (like Csharp minor etc) with colours. Only Scriabin tried to project different colours to the audience. Now they have visial displayes to go with music on computers.

The two composers have something in common. I am going to read more on internet. I know a few Messian pieces, but I don't know t Messians Couleurs de la Cite Celeste and Des canyons aux etoiles.
I myself think that I am colour blind in terms of their influence on me when I listen to music.
Thank you again for your post.

It is wonderful picture, Reiner. Where did you find it? It is lovely.
I am listening to Imogen Cooper playing Ravel at the moment. Before that she played Mozart and Tipett. Tipett I found had big imagination. There were many different fragments in his sonata. I liked colours and his sense of humour (I thought it was very witty and with humour).
I love the Ravel. I don't know the piece. Cooper semms to have many good colours in her performance. I like this recital.

Hello everyone (especially trained-pianist) from the King's Head in London!

I'm sitting here, using a wireless connection, courtesy of the City of London, together with Richard, Ollie, thompson, A, baziron, autoharp, TimR-J, George, Bryn and t-i-n. Hello! You are all missed, those who are not here. This should be a monthly event, I think.

And here's Ollie on Ian's computer wondering why when we finally meet face to face those of us with computers have gone online!

Beer and hugs to all. There will be some photos posted. As long as our cameras survive the evening.  Kiss

soon we will meet, take computers out and write messages to each other.
That food looks very good. I hope you have a good time. The company looks absolutely fantastic. (In my book who is who). I could never think it is possible to meet through this board. You are such a good company and I feel that I am with you.
