Prelude #50 by Allen Rickel

The initial idea for Prelude #50, which was completed on January 22nd, 2021, was based on the upward leap of an octave followed immediately by the fall of a half step. I had something that sounded rather sinister in mind for this one but I ended up finding something else. The music came quickly and easily. I didn't want to try to twist it into something it wasn't, so I let it unfold by itself.

I like this piece and I'm proud of it. I hope that you'll like it too and that you'll let me know about it.

As always, I greatly appreciate your taking the time to listen!

Best,
Allen
