A Minor - Research on Harmony - Variations 14

A small piano étude translated into color. The A Minor triad — A0, A3, A4, A5 — appears here as yellow-orange toward black, red and yellow, the harmonic-chromatic translation of this chord. From A0 to A5, the étude breathes across the full keyboard.
Played Lent — slowly, meditatively, mp — at a gentle, conversational volume, legato — the notes flowing into one another. Opening at A5 (yellow-orange), the line falls to A0 (black) — the phrase finding its resolution in the bass. 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.
