Prelude (Gerard Hengeveld; from 'Partita Rhythmique')

This piece of music by Dutch composer Gerard Hengeveld combines Baroque, Impressionist and Jazz influences. This music track has been assembled from three separate recordings; I hope that my edits will be unobtrusive. I have done this in the interests of offering my listeners a better experience (and of course to hopefully make myself sound better as well). I hope that I will be forgiven, as I will probably do it again. (While errors in a live performance are often easily missed and forgotten, they become more apparent with repeated listenings, and I would like my videos to bear repeated listening!)

I'm happy to hear that this composer's music is now being taught (and heard) these days; I'd have thought it a little more difficult than Grade 8, but I'm not a good judge of these things I guess.

Best of luck on your exam! :-)

WOW,very interesting rhythms combined with great chordings...though it sounds very difficult. I don't imagine this is in the public domain yet, not that I could even attempt to play it anyway ;)

I'm glad you listened & liked it; usually when I post more modern stuff the pieces don't get many views, but I am quite fond of this composer & would like his stuff to be heard more. :-)

It is quite a difficult piece of music, which is part of the reason I ended up making this edited track!
