24 Preludi per pianoforte

Description

Op.14

by Alberto Secondo Gallo

These 24 Preludes for Piano are a collection of short melodious and evocative pieces, composed in
all major and minor keys.
The purpose of the work is to reaffirm the importance of the tonal system among the various musical
languages: tonality, in fact, is not the only language for writing music, but it is certainly the most
natural, powerful and expressive.
The series of pieces is organized according to a harmonic progression that develops along the circle
of fifths, with parallel major and minor keys in sequence. This order pays homage both to the Well-
Tempered Clavier by Johann Sebastian Bach (1685 – 1750) and to the 24 Preludes Op. 28 by Fryderyk
Chopin (1810 – 1849).
The total duration of the pieces is approximately fourty-five minutes.
This collection was composed between 2023 and 2024.
I would like to express my sincere thanks to the publisher Gianni Giuseppe Bannetta, who agreed to
publish this work with Edizioni Mulph.
