Product Description
The Prelude was written in 1990 for Anthony Pachl, a supporter of Charter 77, the Czechoslovak freedom rights movement.
It moves from C minor to C major via a canonic passage in A flat, interspersed with short tonal and atonal sections.
The Postlude was written in 1992 for Joseph Nolan, whose playing so impressed the composer that he wrote not only this piece, but also the Organ Sonata (B56) for him.
It is intended to be played in a recital which opens with the Prelude. Like that piece, it ends in C major after a struggle through atonal episodes, but its ending is peaceful and valedictory.
They are performed by Ronald Frost.
