About the piece

Chopin finished his 24 Preludes, Op. 28, one in each major and minor key, in 1838–39, partly during a winter on Majorca, and they were published in 1839. The fourth, in E minor, was played on the organ at his funeral in Paris in 1849.

You play the melody of the first twelve bars, one hand, moved up a semitone to F minor to fit the 17 keys.
