Chopin Raindrop Prelude

Last updated April 2, 2024


Winter semester was crazy busy, so I did not get much time to practice at all. Today was the first day in almost three months that I finally had enough free time to play a bit. I would like to get back to working on Moonlight Sonata, but since I had not uploaded in a while, I wanted to record something to keep my motivation up. I went with Chopin’s Prelude Op. 28 No. 15 in D-flat Major, nicknamed “Raindrop”, which was easy enough to sightread and also felt appropriate for today’s rainy weather.

More Moonlight Sonata Practice

Last updated January 7, 2024


The Third Movement of Moonlight Sonata seemed insurmountable to a young me. As of yesterday, I managed to learn all the notes, so this feels pretty great. Of course, I still have a lot more work to do to polish the piece and bring it up to tempo. Here is another nice section I was working on today—at least it is supposed to be nice. By that I mean I need to practice my tremolos so my left hand does not lose to fatigue halfway through.
