Carulli's didactic music was ment to be played in concert.

Op. 114 is known as a collection of Preludes, pure arpeggio exercises the name prèlude was given to.

Actually op. 114 is a broad collection of 48 Preludes an 24 Morceaux: pieces that combine the purpose of learning - the compositions are divided in 4 graded sets from beginner's level to very advanced - with real concert pieces.

Part 2 of op. 114 opens with a set of three pieces is in A-Minor (2nd level): the two preludes, one melodic, the second with arpeggios, prepare for the main piece, a Sicilienne (larghetto espressivo) with an Allegro agitato.

You could have expected to hear these three pieces in a concert performance in a bourgeoise salon in Paris in the 1820s: the student would have played the written preludes, the master would have improvised them.
