Favorite Chopin Prelude?
on: April 09, 2017, 02:07:19 AM
Just fell in love with these pieces for the first time ever!

No. 8, No. 12, No. 18, No. 19, No. 20, No. 21, and No. 24.

20 was the first Chopin piece I ever learned. And I absolutely love the Rachmaninoff Variations on that particular theme.

So, what are your favorite preludes?
Practicing:
Bach Chromatic Fantasie and Fugue
Beethoven Sonata Op. 10 No. 1
Shostakovich Preludes Op. 34
Scriabin Etude Op. 2 No. 1
Liszt Fantasie and Fugue on BACH
