Postlude (a la Shostakovich) - Fiala, "Ten Postludes", op. 7, no.6

When Sophia introduced me to this piece, she called it "beautifully wrong". And I must agree. I like it, but it does sound cacophonous in places. I promise I played every note correctly, but there are a number of strange harmonies here, not the least of which are the diminished 7ths that make up the right hand phrase about 3/4s of the way through. This "postlude" is in the style of a Shostakovich prelude from that composer's 24 preludes and fugues. (I can't remember which one)
