Each music term thus stands for one of the letters of our alphabet. The terms are represented by a composition of objects, referring to the number of letters and the meaning of the term. Fresco, for instance, consists of six letters and means \u0026lsquo;fresh\u0026rsquo;, and is expressed by a composition of six vegetables each beginning with the letters that go to form fresco: finocchio (fennel); ravanello (radish), etc. Thus, a combination of objects refers to one of the terms. These objects are assembled in the museum rooms, but are also to be seen on the photographs. Only with the word \u0026lsquo;bizzaro\u0026rsquo; does the picture of the objects differ from what we see in the new assemblage.
