Three Colors is based on three types of chords that could be compared to colors. The resonance of each chord is perhaps similar to a different hue with a particular brightness (degree of lightness) and saturation (degree of vividness). Three types of chords are developed through divisions and combinations of elements. Marked Con Energico, this piece has a dynamic start; however, static parts such as a silent measure or a tranquil phrase exist as well. Please paint on a blank canvas by imagining your own three colors.
