A Preludes Project (2021)

 

This is a summary of a 14 week project I did in 2021 that explores listening to preludes written in each of the 12 major and 12 minor as a complete set. Bach did this twice (in his Well Tempered Clavier Books 1 & 2), Chopin in his 24 Preludes (Op 28), Scriabin in his 24 Preludes (Op 11), Rachmaninov in preludes from Op 3, 23, 32 and Shostakovich in his Preludes & Fugues (also twice, but I’m focusing on his Op 87 for now).

Based on a color picked at random every day with my friend and collaborator, Anca, using a 100 Days of Color theme, we each find three words (an adjective/emotion, a thing/object and an action) to describe the color which then leads me to one of the preludes in this set and leads Anca to create a digital pattern a day.
