Frédéric Chopin's "Raindrop" Prelude, Op 28, No. 15
Музыка
Beginning in D-Flat Major, this piece focuses on inner confliction and the contemplation of the solitary self. The composition was born from the mind of Frédéric Chopin in 1858 during his stay at the Valldemossa monastery. Amantine Dupin once commented, "It casts the soul into a terrible dejection. Maurice and I had left [Chopin] in good health one morning to go shopping in Palma for things we needed at our "encampment." The rain came in overflowing torrents. We made three leagues in six hours, only to return in the middle of a flood. We got back in absolute dark, shoeless, having been abandoned by our driver to cross unheard of perils. We hurried, knowing how our sick one would worry. Indeed he had, but now was as though congealed in a kind of quiet desperation, and, weeping, he was playing his wonderful prelude. Seeing us come in, he got up with a cry, then said with a bewildered air and a strange tone, "Ah, I was sure that you were dead." When he recovered his spirits and saw the state we were in, he was ill, picturing the dangers we had been through, but he confessed to me that while waiting for us he had seen it all in a dream, and no longer distinguishing the dream from reality, he became calm and drowsy. While playing the piano, persuaded that he was dead himself, he saw himself drown in a lake. Heavy drops of icy water fell in a regular rhythm on his breast, and when I made him listen to the sound of the drops of water indeed falling in rhythm on the roof, he denied having heard it. He was even angry that I should interpret this in terms of imitative sounds. He protested with all his might-and he was right to-against the childishness of such aural imitations. His genius was filled with the mysterious sounds of nature, but transformed into sublime equivalents in musical thought, and not through slavish imitation of the actual external sounds. His composition of that night was surely filled with raindrops, resounding clearly on the tiles of the Charterhouse, but it had been transformed in his imagination and in his song into tears falling upon his heart from the sky."

Most versions of this aren't very well played. This one is. It's slow, relaxed, and it feels like it's not constrained to any real pace. It's entirely in the hands of the musician. Most people seem to rush this piece too much.

Cursed the ground where dead thoughts live new and oddly bodied, and evil the mind that is held by no head. Wisely did Ibn Schacabao say, that happy is the tomb where no wizard hath lain, and happy the town at night whose wizards are all ashes. For it is of old rumour that the soul of the devil-bought hastes not from his charnel clay, but fats and instructs the very worm that gnaws; till out of corruption horrid life springs, and the dull scavengers of earth wax crafty to vex it and swell monstrous to plague it. Great holes secretly are digged where earth's pores ought to suffice, and things have learnt to walk that ought to crawl. (From The Festival, by HP Lovecraft)

When chief lifts his head and activates the plasma grenade, I know I had to learn this song. Happy to say I still remember how to play it.

To me, Chopin signifies something more than music. Hidden within those delicate intervals and un-paralleled harmonies is buried a small part of our souls. Nestled in with those remarkable notes is a story we are all yet to unlock. The music doesn’t only speak to us: it teaches us. I am so thankful for the privilege to experience the immortality of Frédéric Chopin.

I see all these comments about some video game, or an app bringing them to this song. I was introduced to it by a Dear, dear friend of mine. However, it warms me to know that while video games are surrounded by some amount of controversy, they can still bring people to experience beauty such as this. I am truly thankful music like this exists, despite it being buried by current genres, and still manages to meet the hearts of people today.

The anime the big O brought me here. A lovely piece, not forceful or rushed, but relaxed and calming.
In 2015, my mother passed away from breast cancer. She was a tough Russian American lady, but had her moments of tenderness. Growing up, after I was in school, I'd come home to the apartment. Before opening the door, I'd hear her playing the piano. I'd stop in my tracks. I remembered how It used to give her such joy and jubilation playing Chopin. She'd play with such heart and feeling, and soul, the powerful chords, then the soft notes, the music the pieces were very much like her.. Anyway, I wouldn't open the door. I'd put my book back down, and sit on the carpet in the hallway outside our apartment door and just listen to her play, and play. When she was done, then I'd open the door, give her a hug and a kiss. Vechnaya pamyat, mommichka.

And I also like the pace. The others I find to be too fast as though the pianist is rushing through it. The whole melody of the piece reminds me of a sorrowful experience with bits of happiness in it. It's as though he was reminiscing an experience that brought both joy and sadness. A fast pace ruins it whereas this pace allows the pianist to fully express those feelings.

took me 5 years to study and learn Chopin, #15 is by far one of the nicest pieces of music ever to be created. Truly.
Metaphors within metaphors, if you get what I mean. He composed this during a storm, using the sounds of thunder and the sounds of raindrops dripping from the monastery roof as inspiration. But not only that. He was dying from tuberculosis, lonely, maybe even afraid of what his future held... As we hear the storm break, we experience darker emotions, reflecting the dark and terbulent storm of his emotions. A wonderful piece... Will always bring tears to my eyes.
The contents of this masterpiece is really well represented over the breath of this creation. Like the stages of life communicated. With light, high notes at the start, to represent youth and vibrance. Then darker, lower, almost dark keys in the middle of life, signifying a youth becoming a adult, and how hard that transition is. Finally goes back to light keys and brings us into old age gracefully and with respect. Letting us leave this world in the same place, we started.
"The composition was born from the mind of Frédéric Chopin in 1858 during his stay at the Valldemossa monastery." That's why he is best Romantic composer ever! He managed to compose pieces this beautiful even 9 years after his death in 1849! I bet nobody can achieve this ever.

Not many people will get this, but Happy Birthday Halo 3. 15 Years strong. BELIEVE. 117. 9-25-07 LEGENDS NEVER DIE. Thank you for everything Bungie, and thank you Chopin for this excellent track to compliment a truly Legendary trailer.

My grandmother used to play this on her Kawai. She always told me dynamics in this song are what makes it. All I can think about when listening are non linear correlations. So beautiful
brought myself here this piece is freakin amazing and I absolutely love it.
summer of 2007... halo 3 commercials... high school years... i wanna go back
Big things have small beginnings
This piece by Chopin speaks out within the depths of my soul.
Imagine going back to 1839 and trying to explain to Chopin a giant man in green armor fighting space gorilla aliens set to his music
I just love how it actually sounds like raindrops that's what I find so soothing and beautiful
It's incredible how Chopin was able to compose a piece of music that literally embraces the very essence of raindrops. A truly beautiful and dynamic masterpiece.

Actually this piece wasn't related to raindrops at all. That title was given to this piece after Chopin died.

this song always reminds me of the movie Tusk
The halo 3 “believe” ad brought me here and my music professor.
Beautiful! not all piano pieces need to be vivaciously complicated. This piece connects with you and lets you feel every note
Chief brought me here .. Believe.
So simple yet, just soooo beautiful in my ears...am i the one only submitted to this wonderful piece??? SO HEAVENLY ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I’ve literally cried while me grandmother played this… god rest her soul…
This was Kate Liu's last encore piece at her Gilmore recital yesterday, 4.28.19. A nudder excellent performance courtesy of an amazing young player.
Brings a tear to my eye. Not because it is sad, but because of the many wonderful memories this song brings to me. Sitting on my couch with a couple online friends in party chat trying to beat the Legendary campaign for the 3rd time that week, sending each other our crappy Forge maps (but we thought they were amazing lol), or just partying up for some team slayer. It may be 13 years ago, and I may be in my late 20's now, but I still fondly think back to that era. Every time I remember it, I always miss those guys. They may be gone but Spartans never die. They're just MIA.
i have been searching for this song for 3-4 years... so happy i finally found it!!!
Sitting down at my kitchen with a cup of warm lemon tea while watching the rain outside the window. What a life ☔☔
I brought myself here.

Love Chopin. He lighted up the world with music so deep and meaningful.
This piece was referred in a science fiction novel that I was reading set five hundred years in the future, I like to think humans will still be around to be transfixed by this piece of music
In 1858, Chopin had been dead for 9 years. (video description)

Big O brought me here. Small world I guess.
4:06-4:24 brings tears to my eyes every time I listen.
Chopin can tear your heart and put a smile on your face at the same time.
I heard this first in Halo 3: Believe, then Tom Clancy’s the Division after finding Heather Lau. It’s a wonderful piece.
For me that's the best Version here on KZread.
As the saying goes, Spartans don’t die. They are only missing in action.

I would buy the 'Believe' ad from Halo 3 on Blu-Ray.
