Description

The Tonal Preludes are excellent performance and teaching pieces. Of intermediate technical difficulty,
they are suitable for teaching rubato and pedaling technique. The great variety of compositional devices
and lovely melodic writing is sure to add depth to your students overall musicality.

Tonal Prelude #1 is suitable for studying parallel 6ths and 3rds, and for teaching 2 against 3.
It is a great pedagogical piece for developing the technique of finger interdependence.

Tonal Prelude #3 is ingeniously composed by gracefully exchanging melody from treble to bass. It is valuable
literature to teach dynamics to bring out the melodic voice. It is also suitable for the study of 6ths and 3rds

Tonal Prelude No. 3

Tonal Prelude No.4

As suggested by the composer, these pieces are designed so that they may be combined in AB, ABA and
other arrangements to form multi-movement works.
