Preludes & Fugues Opus 2: Prelude in F-sharp minor
A prelude in a hybrid form. It is a binary form (AB) with extended A section that repeats and cycles through dominant keys. The ending is a short recapitulation of the A section that unconventionally ends on a dominant seventh chord. In contrast to the previous fugue, this prelude took a surge of inspiration and two cups of coffee so it was completed in just a few hours. Its theme is a continuation of the previous pair, that is an introspection of life, now with unanswered mystery.
