Rachmaninoff's B minor prelude, Op. 32 no. 10, is known to be inspired by the Böcklin painting "The Return", depicting a man waiting outside a house before arriving.

The G major prelude from Op. 32 is one of few calm pieces in major among Rachmaninoff's 24 preludes. The left hand accompaniment conjurs Barcarolle vibes as if swaying back and forth on calm water, and the right hand melody enters as if sailing. There's an interlude in minor that shimmers even more poignantly for a brief moment, but the music soon returns home to the warm and safe major. With pianist Henrik Kilhamn.

Pianist Henrik Kilhamn goes into the details of Keith Jarrett's legendary improvised concert in Köln 1975. In the substantial "A section" the music is centralized around the two chords Am and G. Jarrett goes between them in an almost hypnotic state through several different styles. After that he embarks on a free exploration in the "B section" before finding the way back to A major in the final "C section".

Pianist Henrik Kilhamn plays and interprets the music.
