Impromptu #45 by Allen Rickel

Work on Impromptu #45 started almost effortlessly. The first couple of measures presented themselves quickly and confidently. Unfortunately, things didn't continue that way. Numerous ideas were tried and discarded in an effort to develop the primary melody. The more coplex the idea the more it didn't feel right, so I pared things back and chose a rather simple approach employing a six measure phrase.

Like its predecessor, the second theme is slower and more direct; it feels rather stately to me. What do you think?

Impromptu #45 was completed on February 24th, 2022.

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

Best,
Allen
