Associating keys with colours/images/ideas

[iratior]

Beethoven's Opus 31 no. 2 is the dry weather sonata!!  To the melody in the last movement can even be put the words:  It's very dry / It's very dry / It's very dry / It's very dry / It's very dry / It's very dry / It's very dry / It's very dry / It's very dry / It's very dry / There's not a cloud / Up in the sky / And all the plants / And all the shrubs / Are gonna die!  I don't play the last movement of this sonata because I don't want to be responsible for the consequences!  And it always seemed as though playing the G-sharp-minor prelude from WTC Book II brought on ice storms!  Now there, I might have been up to some mischief ...(if I knew the right keystrokes to do it, I would have put a winking face here).

I use to think about what colors i would picture in my mind while playing certain notes on the piano.

when I play middle C, I think of a blue sky.
when I play the B flat minor scale, I think of orange
when I play A major or A minor, I think of red
when I play E flat minor or G minor, I think of a dark forrest green
when I play Csharp minor, I think of yellow sometimes but I also think of black when I play low C sharps.

It might have something to do with objects or food that is a certain color and starts with a certain letter. For example, Apples are red and the word apple starts with an A.  forrests are green and when you think of G, you might think "green Forrests."  Brown starts with B and the ground is brown so when you play B major, you might think Brown dirt. 

People sometimes use different things to memorize something or to remember something.  you can use all your different senses to help you remember something from the past.
