Prelude in F minor from JS Bach's Well Tempered Clavier Book 1
Chopin Etude, Op. 10 Nr. 4
12 keys in music.
JS Bach revealed the heart and color of each major and minor key in his epic Well Tempered Clavier.
This Prelude is in F minor, a key associated with intense longing.
I see it as the color forest green.
What do you see?
What longing does it stir?
"The expression of a restless fierce, almost savage, grim raging: The image of tossed up ocean waves breaking on a rocky coast, thundering and foaming, their spray splashing upwards, licking the rocks and quickly flowing down again.."
James Huneker
