5 Preludes (Piano)

for piano
5 Preludes is a collection of short character pieces for piano. The first prelude is a highly virtuosic, chromatic fantasy. The next movement sounds as though 3 sets of distant monastery bells were ringing at different speeds in the distance. The middle piece is a high-speed toccata with such rapid changes, it is as though it were a much longer piece compressed into a couple of minutes. The penultimate prelude sounds begins with a series of bright sparkling gestures. The central section has two floating lines at different speeds, as though the notes are smeared across the texture. The final prelude is a rhythmic, rock-inspired allegro. The difficulty and insistent nature of the work lend it the sound of a piano-roll piece.
