Impromptu #26 by Allen Rickel

Completed on April 28th, 2021, Impromptu #26 is somewhat more dark then its predecessor. This is largely because the primary theme walks down a sequence of minor thirds as it progresses, giving the impression--to my ear, at least--of something that might be heard in a suspenseful film.

The second theme returns to my recent penchant for unusual time signatures; it's in 5/4 and builds to a dense and lovely bit of work as it provides contrast to the enveloping idea.

I hope you'll let me know what you think.

Thank you, as always, for taking the time to listen. I appreciate you.

Best,
Allen
