The set of Preludes Op. 33 was composed by Sergei Bortkiewicz while he resided in Vienna and was published by D. Rahter in 1926. Prelude No. 6 has a very dark beauty to it. Yet it seems filled with angst and sorrow, and even seems funereal. The piece ends on two very low notes of irrevocable finality--like the sound of doom.
Comments welcome.
