Dmitri Borisovich Kabalevsky ： 24 Preludes No.10 Agitato Op.38-10

No. 10 from Kabalevsky’s 24 Preludes is a prelude that combines a moderate tempo with restrained yet palpable tension. Within its compact span, the music moves forward, creating an appealing interplay of momentum and instability. The performer should maintain the rhythmic drive from the outset while carefully bringing out changes in dynamics and register. It is important not to let the right-hand motion become rushed, but to keep it balanced with the left hand. By shaping small phrase units clearly and conveying the music’s rising excitement naturally, the piece can reveal rich expression within its concentrated form.
