Improvisation: Prelude in A-flat major (It Was Late And I Was Tired)

[ian williams]

Hello again!

A few minutes ago, having been deprived of sleep for perhaps more than a day, I suddenly felt nostalgic. Here is the product of that nostalgia: in my mind, A-flat major is the perfect 'beautiful' key to work in. If beauty were a literal thing which could be attached, and were not subjective, this scale and its chords would be the definition. It is a short piece, improvised in perhaps 10 minutes, with a few things worked out at first, then recorded. Take what you want from it; it would be interesting to know what it is you 'see' in the music, or if it's an emotion, or even if it's nothing!
