Chopin: Prelude, Op. 28, No. 4 | Khatia Buniatishvili at the Verbier Festival 2011
Показать описание
Amidst rapturous applause and cries of ‘brava!’, Khatia Buniatishvili plays the Prelude No. 4 in E minor, Op. 28, by Frédéric Chopin as an encore at the Verbier Festival 2011.
Frédéric Chopin (1810-1849) composed his piano cycle 24 Preludes, Op. 28 on the island of Mallorca between 1835 and 1839, publishing it immediately in 1839. Perhaps in imitation of Johann Sebastian Bach's The Well-Tempered Clavier (BWV 846-893), Chopin assigned each prelude one of the 24 major and minor keys of the circle of fifths. As such, each of the 24 resultant preludes is in a different key. Traditionally, preludes weren't a a fixed form in and of themselves but rather – as the name implies – had an introductory function, as lead-ins to larger works. Chopin's 24 Preludes, by way of contrast, are short, stand-alone character pieces.
The Prelude No. 4 in E minor is a melancholy, sustained piano piece, lent a melancholy air mainly by its descending chord progression in the left hand. What’s more, the final dynamic marking calls for ‘smorzando’ – literally ‘dying away’. Chopin composed it as his own funeral music. Accordingly, at Chopin's request, Prelude No. 4 was played at his funeral – in an arrangement for the organ.
With all its expressiveness, the Prelude in E minor No. 4 found its way into the soundtracks of numerous films and has also been arranged many times for other instruments. Chopin's Prelude No. 4 in E minor: a fleeting piano piece that leaves a lasting impression.
