Green notes: right hand, blue notes: left hand. Preview played right in your browser with the app's real piano (lightweight version). Inside Pianovera: full multi-layer sound, fingering display and Wait mode.
Sixteen bars, one phrase stated twice, and one of the most recognizable pieces in the repertoire: the whole MIDI holds 168 notes. This prelude is a mazurka in zero gravity: the Polish dance rhythm is there, but dreamed rather than danced, like a memory replaying itself.
Its brevity makes it ideal early Chopin, with one caveat: the next-to-last bar holds a wide chord that surprises everyone. It's the only real obstacle, and it rolls elegantly if your hand can't grab it whole. Everything else is a pure lesson in phrasing.
