(A prelude)

[franz_dwarak]

I composed this with two motifs, the beginning sets the tune for the Piece and it gives way to a more subtle and warm melodic counterpart and its basically an alternate between two motifs and in the end the beginning motif comes back to capture the moment.

The whole piece is based in G Sharp Minor.

Hope u Enjoy it...Let me know ur thoughts...

I prefer to listen to music without a preassigned image. In this case, however, the association, because of the title, can scarcely be avoided. It is very difficult to write truly numinous or eldritch music; almost as difficult as it is to write a really frightening ghost story. I have found Frank Bridge the only composer consistently able to do the former in piano music and M.R. James just about the only author capable of the latter. A splodge of menacing sounds is no more frightening than a dose of graphic description of horrible sights. It is all about suggestion.

I found two interesting points in your piece. The descending chromatic motif with its peculiar chord change is excellent. The form of two continuously alternating motifs is not new. Alkan did it to good effect in his study, the one about love and death, in Gb major I think. It depends on some sort of contrast. Both your motifs had the same mood. Perhaps you could try adding a phrase or two of directly contrasting atmosphere. To take a well known example, the gaiety (funny how the noun has not changed in meaning along with the modern adjective) of the third strain of Joplin's Magnetic Rag is all the more tragic because we sense it is doomed.

All these aesthetic considerations arose because you gave it a title. Had you not done so, I would have heard a rather sombre little piece with a mysteriously attractive second motif.

Keep writing. The ability to say a lot with little means is not common these days.

Thanks Ted, I truly appreciate your thoughtful comments. 
I agree with the name of the piece. I should have left it with just a prelude or simply a piece of music and have the listeners interpret in their own ways. But anyway I still modified it not sure if the damage is already done. Anyway thanks for listening and ur comments.
