Prelude #79 by Allen Rickel

Completed on February 4th, 2022, Prelude #79 started out as something unrecognizable from its final form. When it began, this piece was all fluff and ornamentation. After sketching the first few measures, I sat back and just looked at what I'd created for about a day. The more I looked at--and listened to--the first draft, the more I disliked it. So, I scrapped that first try and started over with the intention of writing something more straightforward and that's what you have before you: simple, elegant (I hope!) and direct.

I hope that you'll find something in Prelude #79 that you enjoy. Please let me know what you think.

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

Best,
Allen
