Prelude in Db, op 28, no 15 - Raindrop (Mullemann/Keller)
Romantic. Henle urtext edition. Edited by Norbert Mullemann. Fingering by Hermann Keller. 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 "Preludes" opus 28 which he had already begun in Paris. According to George Sand, the famous "Raindrop Prwlude" (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.
