A working voicing

| Hand | Keys |
|---|---|
| Left (shell) | F2 – C3 |
| Right (colour) | G4 – C5 |
Where Fsus2 lives
Suspend and resolve
Fsus2 → F
The suspension releases into the plain triad — tension, then home.
As a pad colour
Fsus → E♭ → B♭
Kept unresolved, the sus chord floats — a staple of modern pads.
