The Prelude Op. 28, No. 20, in C minor by Frédéric Chopin has been dubbed the "Funeral March" by Hans von Bülow but is commonly known as the "Chord Prelude" due to its slow progression of quarter note chords. [1] It was written between 1831 and 1839. [2] The prelude was originally written in two sections of four measures, ending at m. 9.
IV-V-I-VI chord progression in C major: 4: Major I–V–vi–IV: I–V–vi–IV chord progression in C: 4: Major I–IV– ♭ VII–IV: I–IV– ♭ VII–IV. 3: Mix. ii–V–I progression: ii–V–I: 3: Major ii–V–I with tritone substitution (♭ II7 instead of V7) ii– ♭ II –I: 3: Major ii-V-I with ♭ III + as dominant ...
The progression is also used entirely with minor chords[i-v-vii-iv (g#, d#, f#, c#)] in the middle section of Chopin's etude op. 10 no. 12. However, using the same chord type (major or minor) on all four chords causes it to feel more like a sequence of descending fourths than a bona fide chord progression.
In tonal music, chord progressions have the function of either establishing or otherwise contradicting a tonality, the technical name for what is commonly understood as the "key" of a song or piece. Chord progressions, such as the extremely common chord progression I-V-vi-IV, are usually expressed by Roman numerals in
The chord is found in several works by Chopin, from as early as 1828, in the Sonata in C minor, Op. 4 and his Scherzo No. 1, composed in 1830. [2] It is only in late works where tonal ambiguities similar to Wagner's arise, as in the Prelude in A minor, Op. 28, No. 2, and the posthumously published Mazurka in F minor, Op. 68, No. 4.
Étude Op. 25, No. 12 in C minor is one of Frédéric Chopin's formal studies for the piano, opus 25, dedicated À Madame la Comtesse d'Agoult. It was first published in 1837 in French, German, and English.
This contrasts with the staccato chords played as accompaniment. A copy by Józef Linowski of Chopin's autograph reads cut time (alla breve) for No. 2, [7] but this seems to have been overlooked. The original (first French, German, and English) editions have common time. [8] Chopin's metronome marking for the piece is = 144 referring to quarter ...
The effect of the harmonic progression of this middle section is described thus by Leichtentritt: "A magnificent transition from E ♭ minor (bar 16) to the mildly shining E major (bar 21) [Chopin has changed the key signature here]; the exciting chains of sequences with their cross-relations (bars 29–32); the wonderfully sonorous decline to ...
