The Prelude in E minor is a one of Chopin's most accessible pieces, but also a musically very sophisticated work. It's a sad and mournful piece, "the languid pensiveness of which defies description. It seems to shut out the wide, noisy world, for a time." (Friedrich Niecks) With its minor key, chromatically descending chords and the fact that it's intended to "die away" as per Chopin's notation, it conveys an almost overwhelming sense of despair. While the notes are few and quite easy to find for the intermediate pianist, the shaping, coloring and pacing of this unique melody is worth a lifetime of study.Prelude Op. 28 No. 4 in E Minor (published in 1834) from Preludes by Frédéric Chopin - piano sheet music to download and print instantly.
