Inspired by Rothko canvases this 15 minute study starts by revolving around a high D acting as a line of centrifugal force from which microtones pull away. Gradually little interruptions and playful ripples begin to disturb the sustained notes until they grow into a frenetic rondo and end by building to a climax dominated by a similar high note. Various musical ideas are utilized throughout effectively emulating the textures and gradations of colour employed within a painting.
