There are 24 Chopin’s Preludes (although they are not followed by fugues). A series of very short pieces of varying difficulty – including the famous No. 15, the longest of the series and the only one to have the nickname “The Water Drop” – they reveal stylistic treasures in turn: nocturne, etude, funeral march or mazurka.
