The Prelude Op. 28, No. 4 by Frédéric Chopin is one of the 24 Chopin preludes. By Chopin’s request, this piece was played at his own funeral, along with Mozart’s Requiem. The piece is only a page long and uses a descending melody line.

The melody starts with the dominant B and works its way to the tonic E, but halfway through the piece the descending line is interrupted and the melody starts over again. Only in the last bars does the melody dissolve in the tonic and go through a chord progression to the soothing and satisfying E minor chord.

Recorded on an E-Piano and sampled with a 1907 Steinway A Grand Piano, miced with a pair of Rode NT55.
