"Impression on Chopin's Prelude in A major, Op. 28/7" is a contemporary jazz composition by Polish pianist and composer Leszek Mozdzer. The piece was composed in 2005 and premiered on his album "Komeda" in the same year. The composition is a tribute to the famous Prelude in A major by Frédéric Chopin, which is known for its delicate and romantic melody. Mozdzer's interpretation of the prelude is a modern and improvisational take on the classical piece. The composition is divided into three movements, each with its own unique characteristics. The first movement begins with a simple and sparse piano melody, which gradually builds in intensity and complexity. Mozdzer's improvisational style is evident in this movement, as he explores different harmonies and rhythms while staying true to the original melody. The movement ends with a dramatic flourish, leading seamlessly into the second movement. The second movement is more introspective and contemplative, with a slower tempo and a more subdued melody. Mozdzer's use of space and silence in this movement creates a sense of tension and anticipation, as the listener waits for the melody to resolve. The movement ends with a gentle fade-out, leading into the final movement. The third movement is the most energetic and dynamic of the three, with a fast tempo and a complex, syncopated rhythm. Mozdzer's virtuosic piano playing is on full display in this movement, as he navigates the intricate melody with ease. The movement builds to a frenzied climax before resolving back into the original melody of the prelude. Overall, "Impression on Chopin's Prelude in A major, Op. 28/7" is a masterful interpretation of a classic piece of music. Mozdzer's improvisational style and modern jazz sensibilities breathe new life into the prelude, while still paying homage to Chopin's original melody.
