Impromptu #36 by Allen Rickel

Completed on September 20th, 2021, (yes, for those of you keeping score at home: this piece was finished before Impromptu #35) the first theme of Impromptu #36 feels a bit like a folk tune with its simple rhythm. The slightly unusual feature here is the six bar melodic phrase which persists throughout the work. The second theme, despite being written in a minor mode, feels bright and uplifting and evolves until the return of the first subject.

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
