This early study analyzes the design represents for one of seven large ceiling paintings in the Municipal Theater of Fiume (Rijeka), carried out the Klimt and the Artists Company in 1885th The contract for decoration built by the architects Helmer & Fellner theater was probably awarded during the year 1884th What is known is that in early April 1885, the ceiling paintings and Proszeniumbilder in k executed in distemper on canvas. k. Austrian Museum of Art and Industry (today's MAK) were issued before they were brought to their destination. As usual, the artists painted not on site, but led the big screen images in her studio in Vienna in the Sandwirth lane 8 from. Given topic was a cycle of allegories to the various genres of music. Gustav Klimt and Franz Matsch created three large oval ceiling paintings and Ernst Klimt the image above the proscenium. This contract was to realize after the concert hall in the Kursalon of Carlsbad and the Municipal Theater of Liberec's third opportunity for large theaters of Helmer & Fellner ceiling paintings. Other designs that could be assigned so far no known application, such as the Ernst Klimt attributed design in Belvedere, prove the preoccupation of the company with this image object and its possibilities. Klimt's design for the Allegory of the (church) music shows an organist in a precious blue silk gown. is unusual, especially that she kneels in front of the instrument. The organ will become the altar, whereby the religious aspect of the music also symbolizes. This is also the glorified, skyward glance. the figure of a cittern playing angels in white robe that almost floats behind her head, and some singing cherubs in the clouds on the right edge is accompanied. The design corresponds compositionally quite exactly the version that ran, although the effect due to the picturesque through education in the design is completely different. The loose brushwork and the warmer shade of the design looks much baroque and leaves on the model Hans Makart think, who died at the height of his fame 1884th [Markus Fellinger, 2012]
