Preludes

Composed by Federico Mompou, Préludes Pour Piano is a set of four pieces with two hands for upper intermediate players. It covers the Preludes n°1 to 4 written in 1928.

Each of these preludes is written on one to four pages and can be played separately. The first one is short, to be played like a romance, with chords only. The second one lasts longer and features distinctive parts, starting with an energetic section followed by a sudden musical burst, the rest of it being slower until the animated close. The third prelude is quite slow and very expressive while the last piece of this book is quite short and simple.

Federico Mompou was a Spanish pianist and composer. He composed numerous pieces for Piano and some songs.
