    Dedicatee: Patrick McKernan
    Miscellaneous Notes:
    - Written to honor the dedicatee for supporting the composer's activities from the start
    - The composer hopes to finish the Prelude set by 2035.
    - The Prelude was originally a standalone piece named "Prestissimo in B Major", and was supposed to be a one-minute-long submission for the Second Darmstadt School Discord server's miniature composition prompt #1
    - The constraints of the prompt are that the composition submission must be in 7/8 time, must start and end on the note of F-sharp, and must not contain E-sharp notes or any enharmonic equivalent
    - The first draft only contained the first section. Afterward, the composer withdrew the submission to expand the piece, leading to some prompt constraints getting broken.
    - This piece was written for a miniature composition challenge. If you would like to participate in the composition challenges, join the Second Darmstadt server at: / discord

    it’s very impressive that you were able to make an odd time signature work in a style that’s so romantic and so true to your previous preludes, this is a testament to your skill as a composer!
    i noticed a lot of influence from your 9th prelude, both in the arpeggio-like figures that go to 8va and in the slow ending with a fermata on the penultimate chord

    What the hell...? That's amazing. I never expect much when CZcams recommends me original compositions from small creators, because they're usually beginners just starting to try out things, but this is outstanding. It's like prog rock or east Europian folk music meets Chopin/Liszt. Great theme and the way you develop it is so cool. And your harmonic language is so colourful and tasty.

    This is an awesome work! I don’t play piano, but I do play marimba, and often we play piano pieces on marimba. The limitations of the instrument make it difficult to produce pieces like this for marimba, but when the occasional piece comes along, it makes me very excited, and this piece makes me feel the same way. Incredible composing and great job! Love your Minecraft skin pfp, by the way.

      Thank you! Your description, although not my original intent, fits the atmosphere perfectly.
      I chose the thumbnail because it represents the composition’s complexity escalating from a simple little melody to a dense flurry of notes once the beginning section was over. This is indicated by a plain drawing of a horse’s head that is attached to a highly detailed body and tail.

    Your way of composing is becoming very clear as you post your pieces. I loved this prelude, it's very beautiful, even with a mixed time signature. You can also see traces of the bagatelle in E flat major in some parts of the accompaniment and also in the melodic line. That said, congratulations once again, my brother. You'll receive many awards for these compositions.
