Description

A small piano étude translated into color. The F Major triad — F2, A4, A7 — appears here as red-violet toward black, yellow-orange toward orange and red, the harmonic-chromatic translation of this chord. From F2 to A7, the étude breathes across the full keyboard.

Played Lent — slowly, meditatively, mp — at a gentle, conversational volume, legato — the notes flowing into one another. Rising from F2 (black) to A7 (silver) at the crest, the line folds back — an arch, a breath held and released.
Arnaud wrote it in four, the pulse walks with a steady, even tread.
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.
