A miniature virtuoso piano masterpiece by Rheinhold Gliere  composed in 1907 .  In my opinion lots of pianists play this work far too fast which is in contrast to the tempo markings of the composer . The expression , beauty and clarity of each precise note should not be sacrificed for speed .  The flowing triplet broken chords  and modern chords reveal some impressionistic characteristics . This is a great work to give to students to prepare them for Debussy's Arabesque later as they have some similarities . 

Performed , recorded , produced by Alvin Lloyd Masters  near Atlanta in Sept 2017 .

Prelude In D Flat op. 43. no. 1 By Gliere
