Raindrop Prelude (Beginner) – 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. This simplified arrangement for beginners retains the piece’s repetitive A-flat ostinato, reminiscent of falling raindrops, and the lyrical melody, while simplifying the harmonies and technical demands. This arrangement allows new pianists to experience the emotional depth of Chopin’s music while developing their skills.
