Prelude in G Minor by Pius Cheung

One of my long term projects is to compose 24 preludes for solo marimba. These preludes are designed to be intermediate concert pieces that fit within the range of a 4.3 octave marimba. Though technically easier than most of my other compositions, these character pieces offer the same level of musical and artistic depth while providing the player a platform to focus on important musical subjects such as tone color control and phrasing.

Prelude in g minor is a waltz in rondo form. Although this piece is only about 2 minutes long, the character changes rather quickly and in extreme between sections.
