Symmetry in creative work of Mikalojus Konstantinas Čiurlionis

Summary/Abstract: Symmetry and musical symmetry are discussed. The creative work of Čiurlionis (especially piano music) is analysed from the symmetry point of view. Čiurlionis' efforts to find a structure common to music, painting and writing led him to the only solution found in all his creative work. The main idea of the article is that mirror symmetry became the structural backbone of all modes of self-expression of Čiurlionis.
