Frédéric Chopin - "Raindrop... Lyrics & Chords

Frédéric Chopin wrote a number of preludes for piano solo. Although the term prelude is generally used to describe an introductory piece, Chopin’s stand as self-contained units, each conveying a specific idea or emotion.

Prelude No. 15 “Raindrops” is the longest of the twenty-four. The prelude is noted for its repeating A-flat, which appears throughout the piece and sounds like raindrops to many listeners.

This prelude appears in the “Crows” section of Akira Kurosawa’s film “Dreams”.
