My comment on the previous version (available here: https://soundcloud.com/raja-sohail-bashir-v/prelude-no-5-part-i-d-minor) 

"This is a vibrant and energetic piece mixed with raw immediacy to create 'courageous accents' as one of my friends put it!

This composition is something else--replete with pounding beats, pulsating rhythms and delicious dissonances!"

Stepping Into Wonderland III

"I was hesitant to compose a fourth part to this series but was urged on by a couple of friends and hence...

In this version, I have kept somewhat tightly to the general soundscape and texture of the previous parts.

This miniature is composed in G major."

Stepping Into Wonderland I

My original comment:

"This miniature piece begins in F minor and then cycles through C minor and G minor before terminating, at the very end, in C major (a key I very seldom use!).

I think it is a wonderful example of a composition that breathes variety in unity (it is almost entirely through-composed!), always different and yet undeniably of the same essence.

As with many of my recent pieces the texture and tempo of the piece varies considerably throughout and this miniature includes various homophonic and polyphonic passages."
