Prelude Op. 28 No. 15 “Raindrop” – Chopin

Chopin’s Prelude Op. 28 No. 15, often nicknamed the “Raindrop” Prelude, is a haunting and evocative work that captures the feeling of melancholy and introspection. The piece’s repetitive A-flat ostinato, reminiscent of falling raindrops, creates a hypnotic and meditative atmosphere, while the lyrical melody and subtle harmonic shifts evoke a sense of longing and despair. This arrangement for piano invites pianists to explore the emotional depths of Chopin’s music and express the complex feelings conveyed through his unique musical language.
