Impromptu #17 by Allen Rickel

I've always liked unusual time signatures, so when thinking about my next piece, I decided to have a go at writing something in 5/8. After that choice had been made, Impromptu #17 (completed on March 11th, 2021) fell right onto the page. Based on simple two note phrases where the length of the first note decreases and the second increases, the rhythmic device is intended to create a sense of tension.

I hope that you like Impromptu #17 and, if you do (or don't), that you'll tell me about it by leaving a comment. As always, thank you for taking the time to listen. I appreciate it.

Best,
Allen
