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.

It is written in the key of D flat major with a contrasting section in the middle written in D flat minor (the parallel minor of D flat).

Some, but not all, of Opus 28 was written during Chopin and George Sand's stay at a monastery in Valldemossa, Majorca in 1838.

What are 3 important piano pieces did Frederick Chopin write?

Generally, three of Chopin's most famous pieces include his Nocturne in E flat Major, his Prelude in D flat Major (also known as the Raindrop Prelude), and his Fantasie Impromptu. As far as "important" pieces go, Chopin has written a multitude of pieces that could be considered important, as he was a cornerstone in the Romantic era of piano music. Specific ones that come to mind are his Military Polonaise, his Ballade in g minor, and his Etude in E major (this piece is especially adventurous, even for the Romantic era. It was also Chopin's personal favorite melody).
