Summary/Abstract: This paper examines one of Krzysztof Penderecki's emblematic early sonoristic compositions “Fluorescences” (1961 – 1962) from the perspective of the interplay of the perceptual factors auditory and visual. The specific parameters of the sonoristic structure (timbral and articulatory, textural-sonic, dynamic, temporal) are investigated as the main catalysts for the activation of vivid and sensually impressive colour-light and spatial associations. The correlation of visual and auditory perception in the context of the synesthetic system of connections is of research interest not only for its conceptual significance for Penderecki's sonoristic stylistics, but also for its positioning of the coomplex area of multisensory perception as one of the central ones in the musical art of the second half of the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries.
