At Easter-Tide Op 182 #3

The "six occasional preludes" contains this joyous Easter piece - featuring key inspiration from the Easter Hymn this short work depicts a resurrection scene - I love the chromatic ascending pedal line that builds tension to the triumphant final statement - clearly the romantic harmony here draws inspiration from his Leipzig studies.
