Prelude in E majorOp. 28 No. 9

Frédéric Chopin

  • Difficulty 5
  • E major
  • 1 min
  • 12 measures

The ninth of Chopin's 24 Preludes, Op. 28, published in 1839. Marked Largo, a dotted, hymn-like melody sounds over steady triplet chords and deep octaves in the bass; it climbs through distant keys to ff, then slows, ritenuto, to a final E-major chord under a fermata. This edition follows Catelin's Paris first edition of 1839.
