Prelude No. 4 in E minor, Op. 28 ‘Suffocation’ by Frédéric Chopin
Chopin completed a collection of 24 preludes 1839 which were given the Opus number 28. The 24 preludes cover the complete collection of all major and minor keys. Chopin began work on this collection in 1835. It is thought that the work was inspired by the “Well Tempered Clavier” by J.S Bach as Chopin had a copy of this collection with him while composing the majority of these preludes in Mallorca.
Each work was given an epithet by the publisher with the consultation of Chopin.
