Shostakovich: 24 Preludes Op. 34 stand Floral DanceShostakovichs 24 Preludes for solo Piano were composed within a relatively short space of time during the winter of 1932 3. Just like in his later work, 24 Preludes and Fugues (Opus 87), the pieces in 24 Preludes form a cycle in each of the 12 major and minor keys. Therefore, even though these Preludes are often performed separately, or as selections made into a group, the manner of their composition implies that they are better perceived as a set.
