Bb Major - Research on Harmony - Variations 16

A small piano étude translated into color. The Bb Major triad — Bb0, Bb2, D3, D4, D5 — appears here as violet toward black, orange and red-violet, the harmonic-chromatic translation of this chord. From Bb0 to D5, 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 D5 (yellow-orange), the line falls to Bb0 (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.
