A moody little work, this painting interprets the technically challenging composition, Feux d’artifice by Claude Debussy.

The music “depicts a brilliant and spectacular fireworks display over Paris, and captures in tones the many furious streaks of rockets and their colorful explosions in the night sky. Sweeping runs, outlining two major thirds a semitone apart, open the prelude, perhaps depicting the anticipation of the audience, while isolated tones, like little points of light, sound in the upper register of the piano. The texture of the piece grows ever thicker and more complex and colors abound as the harmonies, figurations and dynamics change to give representation to the wondrous display and patterns of colored light. At its close, the visual display begins to slowly fade away.” Read more

The work is beautifully framed and ready to hang.
