From my Berkeley, CA, recital of February, 2003. This is one of the most captivatingly beautiful of the Préludes, composed when Messiaen was in his very early twenties. Image used with permission of the artist.

Thanks so much! I have only learned no.1,7&8 and thought the others are quite impossible to play convincingly.

It sounds like an improvisation, very special harmonies and sonorities.
