Frédéric Chopin - "Raindrop" Prelude

It's summer in Florida, which means that it's the rainy season.  This year it's been really rainy: every day for the last couple of weeks and forecast for the next 10 or so.  At least the weather has been cooler.

I haven't posted much Chopin here which is a little surprising.  So here's his Raindrop Prelude.

Reminds me of the sound of rain on the camp roof at the lake, very soothing. I read the YouTube description and the story behind this composition is remarkable.
Thanks for the Sunday afternoon class BP.

One of my all time favorite pieces of music by one of the great musicians and composers. You can feel the storm start slowly and gently, then get stronger and pass over as the composition goes by. Finally ending in quiet, gentle rain.

Chopin died at 39. Such a waste.
