Prelude #122 by Allen Rickel

Prelude #122 opens with a deeply melancholy theme that wants to be a waltz but isn't. Evolving harmonically and rhythmically for 36 measures, the piece transforms into a cascading waltz with a predominantly descending melodic line. After two dozen measures, the original idea returns, enhanced by the addition of triplets throughout.

I hope that you find something you enjoy in Prelude #122 and that you'll let me know about it.

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

Best,
Allen
