Preludes (Kabalevsky)

Dmitry Kabalevsky's Preludes, Op. 38 are a set of 24 piano pieces in the Chopinian model, each based on a folksong and each in a different key. It was composed in 1943–44, and dedicated to Nikolai Myaskovsky, his teacher. It is one of a number of examples of music written in all 24 major and minor keys.

The score is headed by a quote from Mikhail Lermontov on Russian folksong.

gollark: Here is my actually good*, elegant** solution:```pythondef gollariosolver(n): #print(n, "is n") x = bisect.bisect_left(fibs, n) out = set() z = 0 for i in range(x, 0, -1): #print("gollario", i, z, fibs[i]) if (y := fibs[i] + z) <= n: z = y out.add(i) if z == n: return out```
gollark: I actually just ran out of time to do a cool solution, so I took the most working python thing I had, ported it to C in a way which was technically wrong but also worked due to a coincidence I found out about after reanalyzing it internally, and then quickly shoved together a thing to replace all the tokens with bits of the navy seal copypasta.
gollark: I don't understand what ridiculous nonsense you did but stop doing it, retroactively.
gollark: Okay, so Kit was *not* bluffing?
gollark: ...
