Georges Bizet's "Preludes (4)" is a set of four piano pieces composed in 1871. The pieces were premiered on May 4, 1872, at the Salle Pleyel in Paris, with the composer himself playing the piano. The four movements are titled "Prélude in C Major," "Prélude in A Minor," "Prélude in D Major," and "Prélude in C Minor." The first movement, "Prélude in C Major," is a lively and energetic piece with a playful melody. The second movement, "Prélude in A Minor," is a slower and more melancholic piece with a haunting melody. The third movement, "Prélude in D Major," is a bright and cheerful piece with a lively melody. The final movement, "Prélude in C Minor," is a dramatic and intense piece with a powerful melody. The "Preludes (4)" showcase Bizet's skill as a composer, with each movement displaying a different mood and style. The pieces are characterized by their use of rich harmonies, intricate rhythms, and virtuosic piano writing. The "Preludes (4)" are considered to be some of Bizet's finest works for piano and are still performed and admired today.
