I'm a guy originally from the Chicago area who's been a music geek my whole life. I'm also a composer and I hope you'll allow me share my music with you.
Interlude for piano, viola and cello is just a brief experiment intended as a vehicle to dip my toe back into writing for strings, something I haven't done in quite a few years.
I hope that you enjoy it.
Best,
Allen

A very romantic waltz opens Prelude #156 and for precisely one minute it becomes increasingly playful when the tempo slows, the key changes and the mood transforms into a warm, comforting expression of affection.

Impromptu #66 is a very danceable waltz; however, just because you could step to it doesn't necessarily mean that it's all flowers and unicorns.
