Prelude Raindrops - Chopin ()

Chopins “Raindrops“ Prelude Performed by myself () Prelude No. 15 in D-flat, nicknamed the “Raindrop“ Prelude, is the longest of the twenty-four. The main melody is repeated three times; the melody in the middle, however, is much more dark and dramatic. Written at Valdemosa, Majorca, in 1838. It is said to have been suggested by the dripping of raindrops from the roof; hence the continuously repeated A flat = G sharp, which is the dominant both of the main key and of the C sharp minor middle section.
