Bb Octaves - Reflexions 25

Bb octaves — six notes, the valley dipping to Bb2 before returning. Three Bb notes — Bb2, Bb3, Bb4 — give violet through three consecutive registers. Yellow at E4 and yellow-orange at A5 and A6 are warm accents. Played Animé, p, legato, in four — softly, the phrase reaching into the bass and climbing back.

Violet darkens from Bb2 to Bb3, then brightens at Bb4, three steps of the same cool hue. Yellow at E4 sits between the second and third Bb, a warm interruption. Above, yellow-orange at A5 and A6 lightens the top, the accents warming where the violet has already faded.

Bb explored in violet — three octaves of the cool hue anchoring the lower half, warm accents floating above. The valley carries the phrase from darkness through violet into the warmth of the upper register.
