Synesthesia is when two of your senses are linked up - in Sibelius' case, sound

I know that this can vary greatly in severity. The wonderful Russian
painter Wassily Kandinsky (1866-1944) also had this. This quite obvious

Well said, Matthew...Sibelius has long been my favorite composer of symphonies,
