Prelude in E-flat minor - Dmitri Shostakovich / arr. H. Robert Reynolds

Opening with a calm but strong chordal statement, this piece continues to build in a single direction to a grand climax of fortississimo dynamics, after which it quickly returns to the quiet mood and material of the beginning. While only 36 measures long, one senses a much more expansive and lengthy composition than its few short minutes reveal.
