Abstract

Chopin, the great Polish composer and "piano poet", produced many piano works during the Romantic Period in Europe. Twenty-four Preludes (op. 28) are called "the universe of the Bagatelle music" since Chopin's preludes played a role in linking the past and the future, and Bach can be seen in Chopin's preludes played a role in linking the past and the future, and Bach can be seen in the Twenty-four Preludes, while in Debussy and Rachmaninoff's preludes, you can see the reflection of Chopin's musical form.

Summary

Introduction

Chopin (Frederic Francois Chopin 1810-1849), the most famous Polish musician, is affectionately known as the "Piano Poet" and one of the few composers who concentrated his work on the piano.His compositions can be said to cover all genres of the piano, with the Op. 28 "Twenty-four Preludes" completed between about 1831 and 1839. The "universe of miniatures" for piano is a summary of Chopin's preludes by James Huneker, a summary that is recognized by many scholars and music lovers. Because it captures the character of the work directly and accurately. The preludes of Chopin's time were no longer "introductions" or preparatory to larger works. Each of his preludes stands on its own, and Chopin was not the first to make them independent, he was always at the forefront. In his article "The Problem of Form in Chopin's Preludes," refers to "raising the form of the prelude to a pinnacle of perfection that none of his successors have been able to surpass."
