Heller's Prelude, Op. 119, No. 27, begins with a restless pattern of alternating notes in both hands. Quiet motion is punctuated by sudden accents, giving this minor-key piece a tense, changeable character.

The opening figures recur with shifting harmonies before breaking into syncopated chords and pauses. A more spacious passage briefly replaces the rapid motion, then the alternating figures return in new registers. Later, the left hand carries the movement beneath broader right-hand gestures, and the music gradually dissolves into a hushed, sustained ending.

Interesting fact: near the close, the rapid alternating pattern gives way to slower triplets in the bass, changing the rhythm just as the sound fades.
