Impromptu #41 by Allen Rickel

Impromptu #41, completed on November 10th, 2021, started out with an idea of two lines of single eighth notes in contrary motion, the right hand ascending, the left descending. I played with this notion for a while before becoming disenchanted with it (or, more likely, too lazy to work it out to my satisfaction).

The original idea surfaces--sort of--in the second theme with descending eight notes in the left hand; the right plays a series of ascending sixths.

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
