Prelude, a type of single-movement music, originally refers to an improvised overture of a major work，but developed gradually into a type of popular music sketch. Short and concise as it is，this genre is good at the expression of the cornposer’s instant musical feelings. It also carries a literary headline with hints or metaphors. Another genre is toccata, featuring the genre of impromptu，with virtuosic techniques of performance by swiftly playing with each hand alternatively. This volume includes as the main body the prelude and toccata in the improvising thinking, plus cradles and fantasies to further enrich the understanding of Chinese piano music.
