Ten Preludes, Op 33

EnglishFrançaisDeutsch

The Ten Preludes, Op 33, were written in 1926, the year Bortkiewicz became an Austrian citizen and when he must have enjoyed the greatest security in his life. Several of them are clearly modelled on Chopin’s piano music, although numbers 6, 7 and 8 are unmistakably in Bortkiewicz’s own musical language.
