Prelude #97 by Allen Rickel

Completed on July 18th, 2022, Prelude #97 is busy. It feels as if it's trying to say, "Pay attention to me!" The intensity and volume increase gradually until the second theme is introduced.

36 seconds into the piece the tempo slows dramatically, the time signature changes to 5/4 and the overall feel becomes more calm and plaintive. This serene mood lasts for approximately 70 seconds, at which point things ramp back up as the first theme returns.

I hope you find something in Prelude #97 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
