Prelude in B major
The eleventh Prelude, in B major, is filled with an arabesque melody evoking the music of Chopin’s impromptus. This cheerful and songful ‘album leaf’ appears and then vanishes. It brings an idyllic character, diatonic melody and sanguine expression.Author: Mieczysław TomaszewskiA series of programmes entitled ‘Fryderyk Chopin's Complete Works’Polish Radio 2
