    Amy Beach and the Rainbow Inside the Piano

    For little Amy Beach, music wasn’t just something she heard — it was something she SAW. Her brain had a magical gift called synesthesia that turned every sound into swirling colors. This episode explores how she used her rainbow-colored imagination to become the first major American woman to compose large orchestral works, breaking barriers that had stood for centuries.
