Prelude, Silence, Epilogue

Prelude, Silence, Epilogue, by Grisha Krivchenia

For Solo Piano, Late Intermediate, 11 Pages

Prelude, Silence, and Epilogue is a contemplative, serious, and hopeful work. Two short piano pieces frame a period of silence, whose length will be determined by the performer.

Prelude can open a particular event, religious service, or memorial. After the event, play Epilogue. Observe some intentional period of silence at some point during the gathering. Alternatively, play the three movements without interruption. The performer or event organizer can speak briefly before the piece begins. Give an approximate time of the period of silence, and (if you wish) a subject of contemplation for that period.

You are also welcome to play any of the individual movements as stand-alone pieces.
