Preludes & Fugues Opus 2: Prelude in D minor


Some of the deepest and most spiritual classical music was written in D minor. There is nothing that can be compared to Bach's the Art of Fugue and Chaconne in Partita No.2 in D minor. My attempt is of course so feeble. It is rather a learning that I hope has succeeded to incorporate some dramatic elements that can be utilised in a serious and sombre style. This prelude was written tightly in compressed sonata form. The tempo is quite fast at 120 bpm. It stimulates expectation (sometimes deceptively) and imagination by a sparse use of series of sixteenth notes that at this tempo are so quick to be perceived as dashes of paint on an other wise solid and structured canvas.
