Impromptu #51 by Allen Rickel

Impromptu #51 was completed on September 28th, 2022 and begins with a rather busy theme in 5/8. With a twelve measure motif constructed of three four measure phrases, this first idea becomes increasingly dense as it evolves.

As the second motif appears, the tempo slows and the key and time signature change. The movement of the previous theme is supplanted by a gentle lament.

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
