Prelude #55 by Allen Rickel

Completed on July 7th, 2021, Prelude #55's first theme is something of a reverie: an aimless mental drift, a daydream. However, as the dream progresses it becomes increasingly frenetic and muddled, almost frightening.

As the second theme is introduced, the tempo and the dynamics increase dramatically in an attempt to provide a brief moment of clarity; but this is short-lived and and the first theme reappears resolving in a variation on its first iteration.

I hope you'll let me know what you think. Thank you, as always, for taking the time to listen. I appreciate you.

Best,
Allen
