Frédéric Chopin's "Raindrop" Prelude, Op 28, No. 15

[@pigpig252]

Most versions of this aren't very well played. This one is. It's slow, relaxed, and it feels like it's not constrained to any real pace. It's entirely in the hands of the musician. Most people seem to rush this piece too much.

[@cameronsharpe12]

100% agree love this version and other versions seem too rushed

[@johnchronic5248]

John Frusciante once said something to the effect of some classically trained musicians stick to a perfect time signature like a grid. They rarely play around with the space between the notes. Could explain a lot here.

Cursed the ground where dead thoughts live new and oddly bodied, and evil the mind that is held by no head.

For it is of old rumour that the soul of the devil-bought hastes not from his charnel clay, but fats and instructs the very worm that gnaws; till out of corruption horrid life springs, and the dull scavengers of earth wax crafty to vex it and swell monstrous to plague it. Great holes secretly are digged where earth's pores ought to suffice, and things have learnt to walk that ought to crawl. (From The Festival, by HP Lovecraft)

I was really excited for him to see how hard I’ve been working on this. It took me a few weeks of tons of practice to get it decent. Day of the recital he doesn’t show cause he’s drunk as usual when he is home. This song is always a bittersweet reminder of wanting to be seen, but having to find the need to see myself first.

The way the pianist hits the notes around 2:50 to 2:53 is beautiful. It sends shivers. The power and force brings out a feeling of despair and lamentation. I really like this interpretation. 😊

[@tiredmeekala]

And I also like the pace. The others I find to be too fast as though the pianist is rushing through it. The whole melody of the piece reminds me of a sorrowful experience with bits of happiness in it. It's as though he was reminiscing an experience that brought both joy and sadness. A fast pace ruins it whereas this pace allows the pianist to fully express those feelings.

She'd play with such heart and feeling, and soul, the powerful chords, then the soft notes, the music the pieces were very much like her.. Anyway, I wouldn't open the door. I'd put my book back down, and sit on the carpet in the hallway outside our apartment door and just listen to her play, and play. When she was done, then I'd open the door, give her a hug and a kiss.

The contents of this masterpiece is really well represented over the breath of this creation. Like the stages of life communicated. With light, high notes at the start, to represent youth and vibrance. Then darker, lower, almost dark keys in the middle of life, signifying a youth becoming a adult, and how hard that transition is. Finally goes back to light keys and brings us into old age gracefully and with respect. Letting us leave this world in the same place, we started.

Metaphors within metaphors, if you get what I mean. He composed this during a storm, using the sounds of thunder and the sounds of raindrops dripping from the monastery roof as inspiration.

As we hear the storm break, we experience darker emotions, reflecting the dark and terbulent storm of his emotions. A wonderful piece... Will always bring tears to my eyes.

You can actually feel the sadness from this man truly a beautiful piece of art

[@joshsouthern123]

Never been a fan of classical music, ive got a much heavier taste... but after listening to this in GCSE music i kinda fell in love with it, its such a beautiful piece

[@JSPowersPhotography]

The draw to Chopin and his touching piece of work. What instilled the word believe in me as a kid, has now brought me peace. The music at this random pace sways as if the song is alive and has emotion, it tells a story.

This was Kate Liu's last encore piece at her Gilmore recital yesterday, 4.28.19. A nudder excellent performance courtesy of an amazing young player.

This piece was composed in 1839*

And 180 years later it's beauty hasn't faded in the slightest.

The perfect interpretation of how raindrops fall. The rise, the clarity, the transitions; so perfect.

[@ericausman2619]

Everybody here in you haven't already, should watch the movie "Impromptu". It depicts the occasion of how this beautiful piece came into fruition. It's sad but very meaningful. And if you all love this piece, try listening to Rachmaninoff's "Vocalise". We can't let another generation of bright minds be without these intellectual treasures. Passion NEEDS to persevere in this crazy world of ours. Thank you for sharing this wonderful piece of music and history with us.

This piece reminds me so much of this little town I was in in the Czech Republic called mariánské lázně. I had piano lessons every day at 2 and I waled up this big steep hill and the smell of these large waffle disks cooking would fill the street. It was a wonderful place.

[@blightybog7207]

I appreciate both of the robot women this song is associated with, greatly.

Fantastic musician & composer. My favorite classical composer. Great song. Loved reading the story that was on this rendition. Glad to find out that a video game used this song.

[@sophiesuploads]

The description is so wonderful, didn't know the story behind this piece!!!
