Chopin Etude op.10 no.1

What would a sculpture that depicts how music feels and sounds when played look like? Each of Chopin's etudes focuses on a specific piano technique, and they weren’t named because the composer didn’t like the idea of a pre-conditioned image. The Etude Op. 10 No. 1 focuses on a crystal-clear right-hand arpeggio run, anchored by a series of long left-hand octaves. The right hand’s sweeping wrist motion is translated into the hooks of the upper parts. The different colors of the blocks underline the tension of the chords before resolution (chromesthesia), while their height reflects the dynamics with which they were played.
