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

Prelude No. 4, opus 28 was written by Frederic Chopin, a Polish composer of the Romantic era, as part of a set of 24 preludes. These preludes were composed between 1836 and 1839, and each one is in a different key, covering all 12 major keys, and all 12 minor keys. You can listen to another one of my recordings of Chopin Preludes here: Prelude in B minor.

This slow and expressive piece has a plaintive melody in the right hand singing out above a repetitive chordal accompaniment in the left hand. The lyrical, cantabile melody; rich harmonies; freedom of tempo and sentimental nature of this piece make it very stylistic of the Romantic era.

This video was recorded in December 2018.

You may also like my recording of Chopin's Nocturne in F minor.
