Prelude #74 by Allen Rickel

Completed on January 14th, 2022, Prelude #74 originats from a phrase that is near the end of its predecessor, Prelude #73. If you watch the video for that piece, you'll see the phrase at measures 65-68. If a time reference helps, the phrase can be heard at 2:46-2:51. One thing that's unusual here is that the first theme employs a nine measure phrase.

Also, this piece was written to commemorate the birthday of a genuinely kind and generous person whom it would be my privilege to call a friend.

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

Best,
Allen
