Prelude #96 by Allen Rickel

Prelude #96 is written in the Aeolian mode in C (think flatted thirds and sixths) and, as such, is dark and a bit off balance. The first motif feels a bit lost, as if searching in a fog. Although it's in 3/4 time, that isn't easy to distinguish here.

While the second theme doesn't adhere strictly to the Aeolian mode, it's straightforward quarter notes make the waltz time easily identifiable.

I hope you find something in Prelude #96 that you enjoy. If you do, I'd be grateful if you'll let me know your thoughts. I'd love to hear from you!

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

Best,
Allen
