Robert Muczynski wrote these preludes shortly before his debut at Carnegie Hall in New York in his late 20's. His recital consisted of only his works for piano. Muczynski studied piano with Walter Knupfer and composition with Alexander Tcherepnin at DePaul University in Chicago. A few years later, Muczynski joined the faculty at DePaul University teaching composition. Muczynski is most famous for his Sonata for Flute and Piano (Op. 14), his Sonata for Alto Saxophone and Piano, and his Time Pieces for Clarinet and Piano. These Six Preludes (1954) offer a great variety of style within 20th Century music.
