- Mental imagery of music is visualized with two-dimensional shapes dancing to the rhythm of Franz Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2.
- A short painted film by Oskar Fishchinger which films images to the music of Johann Bach.
- This is an abstract film in which every motion is in strict synchronization with music, so the description must be read in terms of the overall impression it gives. Within a deep blue environment, one red cube slowly drifts on a reflecting floor. Suddenly there are multiple red cubes drifting and dancing in various formations. Over the course of the film the angularity of square shapes are transformed into circular and cylindrical shapes. The climax of the film features a multitude of these shapes in Busby Berkeley-like formation, as various circular figures grow and disappear among a simulated sky, with the blue colors giving way to red.
- Muratti was a German brand of cigarettes. Fischinger transforms bunches of standing cigarettes into things that resemble human beings. At first they walk daintily around packages of Muratti tins. Gradually as the film progresses their motions become more graceful, as they do "slides" and other motions and formations associated with dance. The apotheosis of the film is remarkable: Dozens and dozens of cigarettes, arranged in Busby Berkeley-like fashion, repeatedly bow to the horizon, where a giant sun labeled "Muratti" rises in response to to their worshiping activity.
- In Fischinger's study No. 7, the shapes of Study No. 6 move to the 5th Hungarian dance by Johannes Brahms.

- Short colour animated film showing shapes moving and set to a musical score. The shapes are coloured and primarily geometric in nature.

- Different colored brush strokes create rectangles which gradually fill the screen, hanging in space at different distances. One set forms a perfect V alignment with the arms forming exact perspective close to the viewer.
