F# Octaves - Reflexions 36

Nine notes — the densest F# octave study, ascending from F#2 to A6. F# appears at F#2, F#4, F#5 — three registers of green. Six accents from across the spectrum: blue-violet at D#3, blue at G#3, orange at D5, red-orange at G5, blue-green at C#6, yellow-orange at A6. Played Animé, p, legato, in three.

Green anchors the base at F#2, near-black. Two cool accents follow — blue-violet and blue in the lower-middle. Green returns at F#4 and F#5, the pitch's hue at its most characteristic. Above, the upper registers scatter: orange, red-orange, green again implied through blue-green at C#6, and yellow-orange at A6 closing the phrase. The canvas is a map of the chromesthetic spectrum.

The most colorful F# study — six accents from six different color families surrounding three green octave tones. The waltz ascends through nearly the full palette, the pitch F# a recurring green thread in a tapestry of visitors.
