Description

A small piano étude translated into color. The F minor triad — F0, F2, Ab3, C4, C4, C5, Ab6 — appears here as red-violet toward black, blue and red, the harmonic-chromatic translation of this chord. From F0 to Ab6, the étude breathes across the full keyboard. Some accents — orange and yellow-orange — appear as tensions outside the chord tones.
Played Animé — with animation and a sense of forward motion, mp — at a gentle, conversational volume. From F0 (black), the line climbs to Ab6 (light yellow) — the climax, where the phrase hangs suspended. Arnaud wrote it in triple time, the melody moves in a quiet, waltz-like motion.
This painting belongs to my Harmonic Crossing series, an ongoing practice of translating harmonic relationships into visual form. Each variation is a study — direct, unadorned, focused on the essential character of the chord.
