The piece premiered on October 20, 2018, at the Royal College of Music in Stockholm, Sweden. The piece is divided into three movements, each with its own distinct characteristics. The first movement is marked "Allegro con brio" and is characterized by its fast-paced, energetic tempo. The movement is in a sonata form, with a clear exposition, development, and recapitulation. The main theme is introduced in the exposition and is developed throughout the movement, with the use of various techniques such as arpeggios, trills, and chromaticism. The movement ends with a virtuosic coda that showcases the pianist's technical abilities. The second movement is marked "Adagio" and is a stark contrast to the first movement.

The use of rubato and expressive phrasing is essential in conveying the emotional depth of this movement. The final movement is marked "Presto" and is a return to the fast-paced energy of the first movement. It is characterized by its rhythmic drive and use of syncopation. The movement is in a rondo form, with the main theme returning several times throughout the movement. The use of repeated notes and staccato articulation adds to the frenetic energy of the movement. The piece ends with a final flourish, bringing the piece to a thrilling conclusion. Overall, "Preludium 3, for piano" is a challenging and exciting piece that showcases the pianist's technical abilities while also providing moments of emotional depth and contemplation.
