The Prelude, Op. 28, No. 1, played on the piano, is the first of Chopin's preludes. It was published in 1839 and dedicated to Camille Pleyel.
This prelude consists of 8-bar phrases with a coda in the end of the piece and consists of arpeggios with four-part harmony. Throughout the piece, the piece shifts out of C major but doesn't modulate to a different key. Chopin did not publish any textual names for his preludes However, later pianists Alfred Cortot and Hans von Bülow created nicknames for this piece, Cortot naming this "Feverish anticipation of loved ones" and Bülow naming this "Reunion".
