Impromptu #27 by Allen Rickel

Impromptu #27 continues the odd time signature trend; it's first theme is in 5/4. Written as 3+2, it starts out feeling like a waltz until those fourth and fifth beats materialize, throwing things just a bit off balance.

The second theme provides a bit of a respite. A simple waltz that walks up a series of perfect fourths and becomes only slightly more dense as it evolves before returning to the main idea. Impromptu #27 was completed on May 6th, 2021.

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
