{"product_id":"24-preludes-for-piano","title":"24 Preludes — for Piano","description":"\u003cp\u003e“The Twenty-four preludes for piano represent one of several cycles of 24 preludes I have written over the years. Re-establishing the value and expressive possibilities of all major and minor tonalities is as valid at the beginning of the twenty-first century asit was during Bach's time, especially if we consider the aesthetics of Western music and its travels in regard - or disregard - to tonality during the last century. The 24 Preludes follow the circle of fifths thus covering the entire tonal spectrum. In writing this work I wished to create a continuum that would allow these short pieces to be united as one single composition. The challenge was not only to write a meaningful and complete prelude that may be only a minute long, but also for this short piece to be an organic part of a larger composition with its own form. Looking at something familiar yet from an unexpected perspective is one of the peculiar characteristics of these pieces - they are often not what they appear to be at first glance. The context and order of preludes is important for their understanding.” (Lera Auerbach)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sikorski","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53473490633022,"sku":"50486628","price":57.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/1396\/9982\/files\/50486628-wl.jpg?v=1778660318","url":"https:\/\/themusiciansclub.net\/products\/24-preludes-for-piano","provider":"The Musicians Club","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
