- Notes
- Exhibited: The Beethovens on the Rhine (2020). Exhibition text: Chopin’s best-known Preludes, first published in 1839 as op. 28, included a cycle of works in all 24 keys. For this later Prelude composed for the Beethoven album, Chopin chose the key of C# minor, the same as Beethoven’s “Moonlight” Sonata, op. 27, no. 2. It has a similar melancholy affect, but no one could mistake this work for anything other than Chopin’s.
