Prelude #113 by Allen Rickel

Prelude #113 begins with a theme of busy eighth notes and initially sounds like a waltz based on the "oom-pah-pah" feel of the first three beats of each measure of the left hand.

The tempo decreases as the second theme emerges and the key changes from B flat minor to G minor and the time signature moves from 5/4 to 3/4. The feeling becomes melancholy but becomes increasingly elegant as the idea develops.

I hope you find something in Prelude #113 that speaks to you. If you do, I'd be grateful if you'll let me know your thoughts. I'd love to hear from you!

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

Best,
Allen
