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. 2 focuses on a light chromatic scale played by the right hand’s 3–4–5 fingers, accompanied by chords played by the 1–2 fingers of the right hand and the left hand. The curling finger motion of the right-hand scale is translated into arched staircases, while the accompaniment staccato is reminiscent of spikes that appear every time the music resets on the beat, as if the chromatic stairs hit a 90-degree angle. The yellow underlines mark where the tonality is found in the music. The number of arches on each side corresponds to the number of beats.
