Eduard Abramian's "Preludes (24) for piano" is a collection of 24 short pieces for solo piano. The work was composed in 1969 and premiered in the same year. The preludes are divided into two books, each containing 12 preludes. The first book of preludes is characterized by its lyrical and expressive melodies, often accompanied by rich harmonies. The preludes are generally slow and introspective, with a melancholic and nostalgic quality. The second book of preludes is more virtuosic and energetic, with faster tempos and more complex rhythms. The preludes in this book are characterized by their rhythmic vitality and technical demands. The preludes are organized in a similar manner to those of Chopin, with each prelude in a different key. However, Abramian's preludes are not as strictly structured as Chopin's, and often feature more improvisatory elements. The preludes range in length from under a minute to around three minutes, and each one has its own distinct character and mood. Overall, Abramian's "Preludes (24) for piano" is a significant contribution to the repertoire of solo piano music. The work showcases Abramian's skill as a composer, as well as his ability to create a diverse and engaging collection of pieces. The preludes are accessible to both performers and audiences, and are sure to remain a popular choice for pianists for years to come.
