Prelude in E-flat minor
Composers:- Shostakovich, Dmitri
- Reynolds, H. Robert
Duration: 2
Description:
Opening with a calm but strong chordal statement, this piece continues to build in a single direction to a grand climax of fortississimo dynamics, after which it quickly returns to the quiet mood and material of the beginning. While only 36 measures long, one senses a much more expansive and lengthy composition than its few short minutes reveal.
