Chopin composed 26 finished Preludes for solo piano and one was left unfinished.
Chopin wrote 24 Preludes for solo piano, Op.28. One in each key corresponding to the circle of 5th's; no doubt, an homage to Bach's "Well Tempered Clavier", a collection of two books containing preludes and fugues in all modulations.
Chopin also composed a 25th prelude, Opus45 in C# Minor and a 26th prelude WoO in A-flat Major. The latter being elementary in composition.
Recently, a fragment was found of a Chopin prelude in the unusual key of E-flat Minor.
