D Major - Research on Harmony - Variation 4

A small piano étude translated into color. The D Major triad — D1, D2, D3, D4, A4, D5 — appears here as orange toward black, green (F#) and yellow-orange (A), the chromesthetic translation of this chord. From D1 to D5, the étude breathes across the full keyboard.
Played Lent — slowly, meditatively, p — softly, with restraint, legato — the notes flowing into one another. Rising from D1 (black) to D5 (orange) at the crest, the line folds back — an arch, a breath held and released to F#. Arnaud wrote it in four, the pulse walks with a steady, even tread.
This painting belongs to my Synesthetic Explorations 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.
