Impromptu #49 by Allen Rickel

The rhythmic pattern for the first measure of Impromptu #49 popped into my head out of nowhere. Once I had it written down and perfected, I was off to the races. The architecture is straightforward: four measure phrases, divided into twos, are consistent throughout. The only real twist is in the second motif which is written in 10/8 (think 3+3+2+2).

I hope that you find something here that you enjoy and that you'll tell me about it.

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

Best,
Allen
