Éric Tanguy's 'Préludes (5)' is a set of five preludes for solo piano. The composition was completed in 1995 and premiered on November 17, 1995, by pianist Jean-François Heisser at the Salle Gaveau in Paris. The first prelude, marked "Lent," is characterized by a slow and melancholic melody that is repeated throughout the piece. The second prelude, marked "Vif," is much more lively and energetic, with fast and intricate runs up and down the keyboard. The third prelude, marked "Lent et expressif," is a beautiful and lyrical piece that showcases Tanguy's gift for melody. The fourth prelude, marked "Très vif," is a playful and virtuosic piece that features rapid-fire arpeggios and runs. The final prelude, marked "Lent et expressif," is a hauntingly beautiful piece that brings the set to a close with a sense of quiet introspection. Overall, Tanguy's 'Préludes (5)' is a masterful work that showcases his skill as a composer and his deep understanding of the piano as an instrument. The set is marked by a wide range of emotions and moods, from the melancholic to the playful, and is sure to captivate audiences and pianists alike.
