Eliane Rodrigues - Frédéric Chopin's "Raindrop" Prelude, Op 28, No. 15

Beginning in D-Flat Major, this piece focuses on inner confliction and the contemplation of the solitary self.

Frederick Niecks says that the prelude "rises before one's mind the cloistered court of the monastery of Valldemossa, and a procession of monks chanting lugubrious prayers, and carrying in the dark hours of night their departed brother to his last resting-place. This C♯ minor portion... affects one like an oppressive dream; the reentrance of the opening D♭ major, which dispels the dreadful nightmare, comes upon one with the smiling freshness of dear, familiar nature – only after these horrors of the imagination can its serene beauty be fully appreciated."
