Description
Prelude Op.45 in C-sharp minor was published separately from the 24 Preludes of Op.28. Its improvisatory, free-flowing structure carries a deep, meditative poetry. Running just over three minutes with a substantial note count, its lack of strict form calls for sensitive musicianship to shape a natural musical flow around its shifting harmonies.
A broad collection of standalone piano pieces not belonging to any specific set, offering hundreds of varied character pieces to explore and compare.

About the Composer
Frédéric Chopin (1810-1849)
Frederic Chopin was born in Poland and made his career in Paris, remaining unusual among great composers for writing almost exclusively for piano. He poured his longing for his homeland into mazurkas and polonaises, while his ballades and etudes combine poetic melody with harmonic innovation. This site includes 131 of his works, including the "Revolutionary" Etude, Op. 10, No. 12, and Ballades No. 1 and No. 4.
