Day 15 - Prelude

I've spent a lot of time today (partly because of going to Birmingham and back by train for a  conference) thinking about how '30 Days' works as a whole piece, rather than thirty constituent pieces. How will the structure work when we get to the end of the month? We don't know the answer to that, of course.

Anyone who is familiar with my work will know that I have a bit of a tendency to introduce the 'starting' material of a piece somewhere in the middle. So since this is our halfway point in this madness which is '30 Days in September', I figured it was about time to write a prelude. This is a short, simple piano work, slightly in the style of Debussy but with more open intervals (4ths/5ths/7ths) in the harmony.
