The Prelude Op. 28, No. 15, by Frédéric Chopin, also known as the "Raindrop" prelude, is one of his most famous works. It is in D♭ major and was published in 1839. The prelude is noted for repeating notes reminiscent of raindrops to many listeners. It usually lasts five to seven minutes, making it the longest of the preludes. The piece has a serene opening theme and a middle section that evokes a sense of procession and lugubrious prayers. The B section contrasts the mood of the A section, and the piece is often described as melancholic and poetic. Despite being a major key, it is not a "happy" piece but somewhat nostalgic, thoughtful, and wistful. The prelude presents technical and interpretive challenges and is considered profound and musically tricky.
