The Music Wall

Part II of the Minneapolis, MN mural walking tour. "There is geometry in the humming of the strings, there is music in the spacing of the spheres." Pythagoras
The five-story mural displays the 3rd movement of a piece written by French composer Maurice Ravel called Gaspard de la NuitBut why?

Back in the 1970's, the building was the home of Schmitt Music. In order to beautify the brick exterior, the owners set out to "make the building sing."  A music store employee was tasked with finding the most visually appealing sheet music.  Ta-da!
