Everything Start from a Dot is on the Texas Prescribed Music List. The title of the piece is a quote from the Russian painter, Wassily Kandinsky (1866  1944). Kandinsky's entire artistic and teaching philosophy was underpinned by his belief that music and painting were inextricably linked as art forms. He spoke often about the "inner sound of color" (synesthesia). Each movement of the piece is subtitled with the title of a Kandinsky painting.
