Twenty-four Préludes

Chopin's Twenty-four Préludes, op. 28 is a set of 24 short piano pieces, each revolving around a different key and mood. Written between 1835 and 1839, these preludes showcase Chopin's mastery of composition and his ability to convey a wide range of emotions in a concise format. From the melancholic No. 4 in E minor to the dramatic and powerful No. 20 in C minor, each prelude offers a glimpse into Chopin's inner world and musical genius. The set as a whole has been praised for its innovation and influence on later composers, making it a cornerstone of the Romantic piano repertoire.
