Did Chopin write the Raindrop Prelude?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

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.

What types of music did Chopin play?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There were not as many genres of music in Chopin's time as there is today, or should I say that there weren't many styles of music by today's methods of classification. Such styles as chamberand church music would not be classified under the genre of 'classical' music as they are today, rather they would have been as different to people of the time as rock and rap music are to us (that is to say, people of the twenty-first century).

Since every piece of music that Chopin ever composed had a piano part, we can assume that the piano was his favourite instrument. Therefore, the music that he enjoyed would have to be in some way related to the piano, so the piano concerto or the piano sonata may well have been his preferred type of music.
