In the last seven weeks, I have composed 24 preludes for solo piano, arranged according to the circle of fifths.

They are not pieces in a specific style, but a sort of synthesis of my musical life experience, from jazz to minimalism (the real kind), passing through a personal reimagining of Baroque counterpoint.

At these links, you can listen to some virtual samples of my preludes. If it is of interest, I can share the complete score in the hope that some talented pianist might be interested in adding them to their repertoire (man does not live by Chopin alone, says the gospel).

Andrea, I find these preludes interesting, not only didactically, but also from a pianistic and concert standpoint. Compliments.

Thank you very much! I am glad that you appreciated my preludes and especially that you found them to be at a good piano level.

I will publish all 24 of them in a virtual version, hoping that some pianists might be interested in performing them.

Always taken from my preludes for solo piano, I present to you prelude No. 7 in A major (in virtual version), here the mazurka tempo blends with jazz harmonies. A small nod to Chopin's music, in fact, even the seventh prelude by the Pole is in Mazurka rhythm.
