Apparently, in this prelude Chopin was trying to evoke the sound of drumming rain. The soft opening leads into a second, very dramatic section which sounds like a violent storm; this then recedes back to the gentle drumming of rain like in the first section. The repeated Ab in the left hand supposedly evokes pattering raindrops.
