"Des pas sure la neige" (footsteps in the snow) depicts solitude and desolation. Three underlying layers of composition can be observed; the ostinato motif that repeats through most of the prélude and resembles the footsteps, the melody that expresses emotional changes, and the pedal points that bring out the vague melancholic elements to the other two layers mainly with the use of dissonances and open fifths.

Faint and laid-back, it is unknown whether Debussy wants the listener to hear the footsteps or see the tracks of people who have passed previously from the scene. In either case, this prélude, speaks to the basic feeling of loneliness that is deeply ingrained in the human soul.

Testament to Ravel's artistry is "Prélude en la mineaur" (Prelude in A Minor), a miniature he composed as a sight-reading exercise for the 1913 women's piano competition at the Conservatoire de Paris. With 27 measures and a duration of fewer than two minutes, the unmistakable sophistication of Ravel is apparent in every note.

"Assez lent et très expressif" (quite slow and very expressive), the prélude illustrates a peaceful melody in a curly pattern, caressed by lengthy arpeggios bordering on dissonance.

One of its peculiar characteristics on the piano is the hand crossings that must be applied to execute it properly. This quality has been carefully ported to the classical guitar arrangement where fretted notes, open-string harmonics and artificial right-hand harmonics interchange.

Music can be quite a spiritual experience, this Sunday I went to the church in Kraziai - Lithuania. In spite of the subfreezing temperature, the woman who was playing the organ kept singing this mournful hymn even a few minutes after everybody has left the church. The moment stayed with me and here is my interpratation.
