Different instruments can help us to portray colors differently when we play, as they give us a different palette of tone colors within the instrument... Claude Monet is a good example with the water lily paintings....music like painting...is nothing more than the weaving of tones, and colors, and harmonies,,,, and so on....There's a lot of similarity in Nocturnes by John Field and by Chopin...but the tones, colors, harmonies, rhythms, and melodies are different in the music...color is the palette of color choices the instrument affords us when we to try to interpret the music we are playing. No, I didn't learn this in music school! I learned this by touching, playing, and listening...and plain old common sense.
This is probably taught as NUCLEAR COLOR/TONE EMULATION in Music School, but I wasn't a music major nor was I smart enough to enroll in this course. Probably would have flunked this particular course anyway!
