Eduard Tubin's "Preludes (7)" is a collection of seven short pieces for solo piano. The work was composed in 1943 and premiered in Tallinn, Estonia on December 12th of the same year. The seven movements of the work are as follows: 1. Allegro con brio 2. Andante 3. Allegro 4. Andante con moto 5. Allegro moderato 6. Andante sostenuto 7. Allegro con fuoco Each movement is characterized by its own unique mood and style. The first movement, "Allegro con brio," is a lively and energetic piece with a strong rhythmic drive. The second movement, "Andante," is more introspective and lyrical, with a gentle, flowing melody. The third movement, "Allegro," is a playful and whimsical piece with a light, dance-like quality. The fourth movement, "Andante con moto," is a more dramatic and intense piece, with a sense of urgency and tension. The fifth movement, "Allegro moderato," is a bright and cheerful piece with a lively, syncopated rhythm. The sixth movement, "Andante sostenuto," is a slow and contemplative piece with a hauntingly beautiful melody. The final movement, "Allegro con fuoco," is a fiery and virtuosic piece with a fast, driving tempo and complex, intricate rhythms. Overall, "Preludes (7)" is a diverse and engaging work that showcases Tubin's skill as a composer and his ability to create a wide range of moods and styles within a single work.
