This prelude is a sensuous tonal picture with a soaring cantilena melody.

Where there are a lot of new forum members since I posted this piece last June, I thought I'd re-post it from the archives. Comments welcome.

Hi tds,

Yes, I saw the "Horowitz in Moscow" video at a friend's house after I recorded this piece. Although I don't own the video, I do have the CD. I've never heard anyone that could play Op. 32, No. 5 and create the nuances that Horowitz produced. You could not have picked a better model performance--his is definitive.
