Description

The stories surrounding Fr��d��ric Chopin��s winter holiday on Mallorca with George Sand in 1838/39 are widely known. It was there, in adverse conditions, that Chopin completed his ��Pr��ludes�� op. 28 which he had already begun in Paris. According to George Sand, the famous ��Raindrop Pr��lude�� no. 15 is said to have been composed during a storm on Mallorca; however, other sources show that the first sketches were already made in Paris. Our single edition has been taken from the revised edition of the ��Preludes�� (HN 882).
