Spring Waltz in F# minor
Composed by Merlyna Lim, 2024

The painting captures tulips rising against a light blue spring sky β€” delicate yet vibrant, their forms reaching upward in quiet grace. The scene holds both freshness and fragility, a fleeting bloom poised between earth and sky.

The music mirrors this movement: a waltz in F# minor, where gentle rhythms sway like petals stirred by a breeze, tender yet tinged with poignancy. Light and shadow intertwine in each phrase, carrying both the joy of spring’s return and the wistful knowledge of its brevity.

Together, painting and music evoke the dance of tulips in springtime β€” bright, graceful, and transient, a reminder of beauty blossoming in motion and passing in time.
