Prelude #2 by Danaë Xanthe Vlasse

For Late-Intermediate-Level pianist, approximately 2’30 min long.


This lovely little prelude for a late-intermediate-level pianist is full of soul-searching; it is subtitled "Pour Les Transitions Dans La Vie" ("For the Transitions in Life") because it was a gift for a graduating senior who is given a special message at the end of the piece: Nora is Loved. This piece is designed to give the listener a sense of restlessness - the theme is presented with a sort of rocking unease that typifies the search for personal identity and life-purpose in teenage years. The piece ends with the calm that I hope my dear student will find very soon in her early adulthood.
