Prelude #131 by Allen Rickel

The first piece of the new year, Prelude #131 is considerably more upbeat than its predecessor feeling very much like a Baroque dance. The music grows in intensity and richness for a minute and a third when the tempo slows and the mood becomes more introspective.

The second theme is innocent and charming, yet still very dancable; it evolves for a minute and three quarters at which time the original idea returns.

I hope that you find something you enjoy in Prelude #131 and that you'll let me know about it.

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

Best,
Allen
