Prelude #135 by Allen Rickel

Prelude #135 opens with a sweet, gentle waltz. The main theme, constructed of a seven measure phrase, unfolds and develops for just over a minute when the key changes from A minor to F minor.

The piece's second idea consists of simple quarter notes which are woven into a melody that's more melancholy than its predecessor. This basic tune progresses into a contrapuntal, lively dance until the original theme returns just before the two minute mark.

I hope that you find something you enjoy in Prelude #135 and that you'll let me know about it.

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

Best,
Allen
