The Best of Classical Music. Le Meilleur de la Musique Classique

Description Français ~ English:
Les Préludes pour piano seul sont une œuvre de Frédéric Chopin. Ils consistent en un opus 28 de vingt-quatre pièces courtes (entre 30 secondes et 5 minutes), écrites chacune dans une tonalité différente en suivant le cycle des quintes, chaque tonalité majeure étant suivie de sa relative mineure. Chopin a également composé deux autres préludes hors de l'opus 28 : le prélude en ut dièse mineur op. 45 et un opus posthume.

Inspirés des préludes du Clavier bien tempéré de Jean-Sébastien Bach, ils inspireront à leur tour les Préludes de Claude Debussy et de Sergueï Rachmaninov.

Chopin les écrivit entre 1835 et 1839 en partie à Valldemossa, sur l'île de Majorque où il avait passé l'hiver de 1838-1839 avec George Sand et ses enfants, pour échapper au climat pluvieux de Paris qui aggravait sa tuberculose chronique.

Note supplémentaire: Serge Gainsbourg a repris le prélude n° 4 pour la chanson «Jane B.» interprétée par Jane Birkin en 1969.

Frédéric Chopin wrote a number of preludes for piano solo.
Chopin's 24 Preludes, Op. 28, are a set of short pieces for the piano, one in each of the twenty-four keys, originally published in 1839.

Chopin wrote them between 1835 and 1839, partly at Valldemossa, Majorca, where he spent the winter of 1838–39 and where he had fled with George Sand and her children to escape the damp Paris weather. In Majorca, Chopin had a copy of Bach's The Well-Tempered Clavier, and as in each of Bach's two sets of preludes and fugues, his Op. 28 set comprises a complete cycle of the major and minor keys, albeit with a different ordering.

The autograph manuscript, which Chopin carefully prepared for publication, carries a dedication to the German pianist and composer Joseph Christoph Kessler.[3] The French edition was dedicated to the piano-maker and publisher Camille Pleyel, who had commissioned the work for 2,000 francs (equivalent to nearly $30,000 in present day). The German edition[which?] was dedicated to Kessler, who ten years earlier had dedicated his own set of 24 Preludes, Op. 31, to Chopin.

Whereas the term "prelude" had hitherto been used to describe an introductory piece, Chopin's pieces stand as self-contained units, each conveying a specific idea or emotion. He thus imparted new meaning to a genre title that at the time was often associated with improvisatory "preluding". In publishing the 24 preludes together as a single opus, comprising miniatures that could either be used to introduce other music or as self-standing works, Chopin challenged contemporary attitudes regarding the worth of small musical forms.
