... Prelude in E-Minor Opus 28 No 4 - one of 24 preludes that Chopin wrote.
In his will, Chopin instructed that this particular prelude should be played at his funeral.
It is the easiest piece by Chopin for piano and has a very
distinctive descending left-hand pattern, which has become common in
modern Jazz standards. Chopin was way ahead of his time.
...
The jazz standard played by Wes Montgomery that I provided yesterday – In Sensitive – was inspired melodically by Chopin’s prelude.
