Abstract
The article deals with the issue of interaction between visual and musical in the story by S. Krzhizhanovsky “Nine crows”. The article consistently analyses the process of combining the external point of view of the narrator, reflecting a stipulated objective reality, and the subjective-imaginative inner point of view of the composer, in which there is a dynamic transformation of conditionally objective reality into musical signs. As a result, a conclusion is drawn about a specific intermedial interaction, which can be referred to as an unfolded visual and musical metaphor, the key to which is the composer’s point of view.
