As the title suggests, each of the preludes is based on some aspect of \u003cspan class=\"il\"\u003edoubling\u003c\/span\u003e, especially that of pitch. In the final prelude, “Mezzotint,” for example, every note in the treble pianist’s right hand is simultaneously doubled in their left hand an octave and a minor third lower. The same is true for the bass pianist, except that the interval between doubled notes is an octave and a major third. Most striking are the “stretched-octave” \u003cspan class=\"il\"\u003edoublings\u003c\/span\u003e between the outer hands of the two players in “Calder,” “Toccatina,” and “Walzmärsche,” where notes in the extreme bass are paired with their treble counterparts a half step away—low G with high A-flat, for example, a pairing that sounds oddly consonant.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Philip Carlsen","offers":[{"title":"Physical","offer_id":48245780087004,"sku":"ACA-CAPH-099","price":28.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Digital (PDF)","offer_id":48245780119772,"sku":"ACA-CAPH-099e","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/8198\/2428\/files\/ACA-CAPH-099eCarlsen_Doublings_Page_1.jpg?v=1773958458","url":"https:\/\/composers.com\/products\/doublings","provider":"American Composers Alliance","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
