F Minor - Research on Harmony - Variations 23

A small piano étude translated into color. The F Minor triad — F1, F2, Ab3, A4, A5, Ab6 — appears here as red-violet toward black, blue toward blue-violet and red, the harmonic-chromatic translation of this chord. From F1 to Ab6, the étude breathes across the full keyboard. Some accents — yellow-orange — appear as tensions outside the chord tones.
Played Modéré — at a measured, moderate tempo, mp — at a gentle, conversational volume. Rising from F1 (black) to Ab6 (light yellow-orange) 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.
