Prelude and Fugue in C sharp minor - piano

 

Prelude and Fugue in C sharp minor - (2012)    

for piano

 

Repeated open fifths as pedal and rhythmic motor drive the prelude as a single voice begins beneath and then rises above them. Phrases are punctuated with Baroque-like gestures, as the prelude moves through the natural minor.

 

 

The fugue subject highlighting the harmonic minor is decorated with an accompanying voice, much like the prelude's open gambit. A number of statements rush along, into a unexpected, accelerating last gesture finishes the piece.
