Frédéric Chopin - Prelude in E Minor, Op. 28, No. 4

The Prelude Op. 28, No. 4 by Frédéric Chopin is one of the 24 Chopin preludes. By Chopin's request, this piece was played at his own funeral, along with Mozart's Requiem.
Hans von Bülow called the prelude "suffocation", due to its sense of despair. In fact, Chopin's last dynamic marking in the piece is smorzando, which means "dying away". But the prelude may have once been given a title. According to George Sand's daughter Solange, who stayed with the composer at the monastery in Majorca when the preludes were written, "My mother gave a title to each of Chopin’s wonderful Preludes; these titles have been preserved on a score he gave to us." That titled score is lost. But Solange did record the names of the preludes, apparently without assigning the names to the prelude numbers. It is believed that the title "Quelles larmes au fond du cloître humide?" ("What tears [are shed] from the depths of the damp monastery?") corresponds to Prelude No. 4.

The 1st full piece I ever learned how to play from beginning to end. (Second was Bach prelude in C). It will always be my favorite piece of music ever written.

All sadness and pure beauty stands in one easy composition like this, a beautiful Chopin ! congratulations Chopinist on this relaxation ! I'd like to see on your channel Chopin's waltz No. 15 Op. posth. B.44. in E-Major or Waltz Op.34 No.1 in Ab-Major or Ballade No. 4 in F minor Op. 52. That would be great considering to your quality. I'll be very happy if you can do it. Also can you make a playlist called Waltzes ?

@Charlemagne That's not what we mean. It's a pretty good midi. It's just the composition.
