Cheung-Prelude in G Minor-M

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.
