In Germany the Hungarian Laszlo, claims to have created a new mechanism which is also based on the theory of the interdependence between acoustical and optical impressions. His "Farbenlichtklavier", or "colour-light-piano" projects on a screen colors and shadows which are intended to form an accompaniment for a musical composition written expressly for "coloured light and piano". [...] his optical compositions as they were shown at the Theatre Exhibition in Magdeburg [...] were the result of the primitive method of superimposing one colour on another and of the employment of a certain number of diapositives treated with banal colours.
