First published: unknown. Completeness: unknown.Heller's sixth prelude has a gently rocking 6/8 pulse and a lyrical melody colored by minor-key harmony. A repeated bass motion gives the opening a steady foundation before the upper voice enters. The first theme expands from short phrases into fuller chords and a lower-register answer. A stronger middle passage sustains longer notes above moving inner lines, then eases into a quiet transition. The opening melody returns with greater weight before the final phrases slow into rolled chords and a held close. Interesting fact: the bass introduces the rocking pattern alone for two measures, establishing the piece's character before the melody begins.
