Prelude in G major from the Frontispiece is a short prelude, composed near 1714 by William Babell. it was found within a pane of the opening illustration for Babell's earlier book of unpublished 'Celebrated Lessons' thought to have been written for a private patron. Though clearly in Babell's handwriting, the prelude occupies a space not much larger than a postage stamp. It lasts about 20 seconds to perform.
