The compositional completeness synthesizes all the elements, though every detail has its special beauty and thoroughness. The impression they produce together is not the impression of the instrument; rather, it is the feeling of the music that it produces. 

Music as a form of art is consonant to artworks by Picasso: it does not illustrate anything, but it creates its own artistic world. In this work, Pablo Picasso shows the texture of a real material — the wood that the violin is made of. This is a direct path to creating collages — works created using parts of other objects: newspaper pieces, tobacco packages, and parts of wallpaper, which began to appear in Picasso’s work very soon.
