Prélude No. 4 in E flat major by Sébastien Monneret is a piano solo waltz in classic ABA form. The introduction sets a nostalgic mood before a brighter, more melodic section emerges. The B section brings a more romantic phrasing, while the return of A introduces new accentuations in the left hand, with bass notes played in octaves that add bite and depth to the piece. The work closes on a contrary melodic motion. A beautifully crafted piano solo, and a preview of an upcoming album of 12 Préludes Majeurs.
