Prelude for Solo Piano in B-flat minor, Op. 119
Op. 119, No. 6, "La mort" ~ Flat September Challenge 2024
This piece is my submission for the Flat September Challenge 2024, in which the prompt is you have to select 1-3 colors and create an interpretation of their meanings. For example, if I got the color pink, I would write about love because love is what pink symbolizes. However, you have to have a color palette generator pick your colors. Here are the colors I got when I randomized my three colors:
I. Green: growth
II. Black: death
III. Blue: sadness
This composition's story is a continuation of my fifth piano prelude: "Prelude for Solo Piano in F minor, Op. 117 (Op. 117, No. 5, "The Baba Yaga's Curse")." This story follows when the Baba Yaga, an evil Russian Witch, casts a spell on the man, and now he is suffering from pain and uncomfortable feelings for the rest of his life. This song describes the prelude to his pain and suffering, and the memory of him killing his brother haunts him like a ghost. To understand the beginning of the story, here is the link below to my fifth piano prelude:

There is an analogy that describes this situation perfectly: a tree and parts of a tree. You see, the tree trunk represents the base, where the sadness begins. This establishes the core of the problem: the terrible situation. The height of the tree and tree branches represents the growing sadness, where the pain was established, and now it is escalating at an alarming rate. The tree's ending point represents the person's death, where all this conflict climaxes in a dark place. Death. There is nothing after that.
Now, the man in this story doesn't die, but his soul does. He is nothing but a meandering human vessel that wonders through Earth, having his soul covered with a spell of pain and suffering. The curse shatters the man's heart from the inside, and that makes his soul die. I hope you all like my story. The moral of the story is not to kill anyone so you won't be cursed!
