Illia Fialko - 4 Preludes (comp. 2021) - Illia Fialko

These four preludes were composed in the summer of 2021 specially for the festival “Klassiek op het Amstelveld“ organized by Tatiana Chevtchouk. This small cycle I dedicated to Benjamin and Leigh Ann Arthur for everything that they have done for me during my living in their house for 2 years and particularly for helping me with my crowdfunding last year! No. 1 00:00-01:56 This prelude I wrote already before the summer of 2021. It was composed as a part of a homework assignment for the “Model Composition“ class at the Conservatory in Amsterdam. This subject requires that a student takes a piece of music and use certain aspects of the piece in his/her original composition (form, harmonic passages, motives, etc). As a model for this piece, I chose Scriabin’s Prelude Op. 37, No.1. The desire to take this as a basis, came when I listened to Arcadi Voldos’ performance of the piece.
