SKU: A0.998749

Composed by Robert A. Howard. This edition: pdf. 20th Century, Classical, Contemporary, Contest, Festival, Instructional. Score. 5 pages. Robert A. Howard #5722603. Published by Robert A. Howard (A0.998749).

Prelude to 1984 derives much of its musical material from the numbers 1, 9, 8 and 4. The piece is designed literally as a 'Prelude' to the first chapter of George Orwell's novel, from which it derives its programmatic detail. In a dictatorship that holds complete control over people, 'big brother' surveillance cameras watch over everyone. The main character, Winston Smith, is determined to escape this totalitarian society and find freedom. Stylistically, the piece uses a stark, angular, post-tonal idiom in order to reflect the aforementioned subject matter. However, the work remains accessible for the listener and is appropriate for higher-level pianists, including advanced students and professional players.
