A single musical staff floats horizontally across a pale ground, rendered in delicate black line work with a treble clef anchoring the left side and a series of notes progressing rightward. The composition is spare and contemplative, suggesting the opening measures of a piece yet to unfold, with soft gray tones creating an almost whispered quality to the image. Bound with 52 pages of 70lb paper, lined or unlined, behind an anti-scuff matte cover with wraparound artwork, made to order. Notes and sketches kept behind an independent artist's work, not a plain composition cover.
