Prelude in C minor

Frédéric Chopin

For flute and piano

In E minor, range E4 to G5

A slow procession through a dark town: heavy steps, loud at first, then the same steps again more quietly, as if moving away, and once more almost in a whisper. It is No. 20 of Chopin’s 24 Preludes, one in every key, which he finished on Majorca in January 1839.
