| Added by magataganm, 27 Feb 2024 Fryderyk Franciszek Chopin,was a Polish composer and virtuoso pianist of the Romantic era, who wrote primarily for the solo piano. He gained and has maintained renown worldwide as one of the leading musicians of his era, whose "poetic genius was based on a professional technique that was without equal in his generation." Chopin was born in what was then the Duchy of Warsaw, and grew up in Warsaw, which after 1815 became part of Congress Poland. A child prodigy, he completed his musical education and composed many of his works in Warsaw before leaving Poland at the age of 20, less than a month before the outbreak of the November 1830 Uprising. The Prélude in C sharp minor, Op. 45 is a piano piece by Frédéric Chopin that was written in 1841. Chopin's former publisher Maurice Schlesinger was impressed by the success of the 24 Preludes and the public concert and regretted that he had not published the collection. So he asked the composer to write another piece for him. Since Chopin was still in debt to Schlesinger and wanted to return to him anyway, he agreed. With the reception of the independent Prélude, the collaboration between the two was resumed and the publisher accepted Chopin's conditions for the publication of further works. However, the first edition was published in November 1841 in Vienna, by Pietro Mechetti, in his album - Beethoven, together with pieces by Carl Czerny, Theodor Döhler, Adolf Henselt, Friedrich Kalkbrenner, Franz Liszt, Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy, Ignaz Moscheles, Wilhelm Taubert and Sigismund Thalberg. The proceeds were intended for the Beethoven monument in Bonn. The first French edition followed on December 12, 1841 in Schlesinger's Revue et Gazette musicale de Paris. Chopin dedicated the work, composed in 1841, to the 15-year-old Princess Elisabeth Chernyschjowa ( Russian: ????????? ????????????? ?????????, * October 11, 1826, † February 11, 1902), who was his student. As Wilhelm von Lenz reports, she was a daughter of the then Russian Minister of War, Prince Alexander Chernyschjow (1786–1857). She married Lieutenant General Vladimir Baryatinsky (1817–1875) on October 11, 1846. In contrast to the usually short 24 preludes in his style-defining collection, this is a longer piece comprising 92 bars that cannot be easily assigned. While the mood and expressive intensity, performance marking ( sostenuto ) and the even, legato eighth-note accompaniment are reminiscent of a nocturne, it lacks the rhythmic refinements, virtuoso ornaments and the three-part song form that characterize this genre. The piece begins with an improvisational and thoughtful introduction of descending sixth chords. Apart from the A sharp, all twelve notes of the chromatic scale are presented here. After the C sharp minor has emerged as the actual key of the work in the fourth measure over the dominant G sharp major, the theme develops from a constantly flowing figure that rises in the low register, rises upwards and repeats this movement, which connects the voices of the left and right hands. The listener only recognizes the melody and the harmony characterized by the accompaniment at the beginning and end of the lines: While an ascending phrase ends at the top, a further sound event is already developing at the bottom, making it possible to hear two musical levels at the same time. Two further special features characterize this work: the diverse modulations, in which a phrase always ends in a different key, and the longing romantic suspensions at the end of chordal theme chains (bars 35 and 59), which are reminiscent of the emotional depth of late romantic music, such as the Gustav Mahler's expressive slow movements, including the famous Adagietto from his fifth symphony. After a short, tonally exquisite development and the recapitulation of the theme, the Cadenza (leggierissimo e legato) surprises from bar 80 onwards. There are cadenzas notated with small notes in Chopin's other works too - such as the Nocturne in B major op. 9 and the Polonaise in D minor; With its harmoniously finely drawn, chromatically sophisticated color palette, it represents a novelty. The parallel fifth and sixth movements increase dynamically and end loudly in a dark sixth fourth chord. The short and unanimous recitative that follows forms a wistful contrast in which the feeling of sudden loneliness and despair is expressed, a resignation that is soon withdrawn and gives way to a strange brightening in D major (dolce), which introduces the quiet and serious end.

Although composed for solo piano, I created this Interpretation of the Prelude in C# Minor (Opus 45) for String Quartet (2 Violins, Viola & Cello).
