Robert Muczynski wrote Three Preludes for Unaccompanied Flute, Opus 18, in 1962, shortly after finishing his Sonata for Flute and Piano, Opus 14 (1960–61). Despite the title, Muczynski meant them to be encores.

According to the composer, the preludes fleetingly portray different moods, such as "jaunty, nocturnal, and free-wheeling".

Form

The three preludes are:

  1. Allegro
  2. Andante molto
  3. Allegro molto

First Prelude

Second Prelude

Third Prelude

The piece uses accents to accentuate the off-beat rhythm.
