Postlude for Cello and Piano is a brief arrangement of the twelfth prelude from Lera Auerbach’s 24 Preludes for Cello and Piano. The source movement is the G-sharp minor Adagio, extracted from the larger tonal cycle and re-framed as a compact postlude.

In this form, the music functions as an intimate encore: a small, concentrated statement that carries the atmosphere of the larger cycle while standing apart as a self-contained work for cello and piano.

The work is connected to Auerbach’s broader twenty-four-prelude project, in which each cycle moves through the tonal spectrum by the circle of fifths. Here, one prelude from the cello-and-piano cycle is separated from the complete sequence and given the character of an afterword.

The postlude appears in recorded contexts alongside Auerbach’s cello-and-piano works, including the album Celloquy, performed by Ani Aznavoorian and Lera Auerbach.
