Summary/Abstract: Musicality of a text is one of the criteria of aesthetic value, which in particular was emphasized at the beginning of the romantic epoch. Musical terms are meaningfully used not only in time arts but also in spatial arts. Studies of arts’ interactions are usually based on the expression of identity of two senses and their differences. A new stage in analysis of relations between arts should be modern conception of synaesthesia and personality synesthete; it is based not on abstract but on the multi sectoral entanglement of senses in everyday life.
