I composed this prelude for piano within the course of a week in March 2008 as an exercise in creating various pianistic effects and as an exploration in late romantic harmonizations.

My heart goes out to my friend and fellow composer Keith Eisenbrey who courageously took this on to premiere at the Seattle Composer's Salon on November 6th 2009. Also on the program was a beautiful Pavanne for violin and piano that Keith composed. He and I premiered that as well and it was also very well received.

This work is designed as a virtuoso showpiece and I am very pleased with what Keith accomplished both musically and technically.

Enjoy!
