about

The Four Preludes for piano were composed in 2017 and are dedicated to the pianist Susan Merdinger. They were premiered by Ms. Merdinger at the Northbrook Public Library (Chicago) on 22 April 2018.

The first prelude is in a care-free, relaxed jazz style. The second prelude provides a contrast to the first, as the opening melodic idea is taken through a series of differing harmonic colors, creating a sense of unity in perhaps a less stable environment. The third prelude is lively and playful, even comical, in the spirit of earlier composers’ works entitled “burlesque.” The final prelude is the longest of the set and unfolds in a type of ternary form. The principal music is lyrical and often wistful in nature, featuring rich harmonies. The brief middle section then offers a greater sense of forward motion and melodic contrast. The return of the opening music brings a sense not quite of calm, yet, but of winding down, until the prelude closes with a type of question, not meant to be fully answered.
