I am playing Prelude No. 4 in E minor by Chopin (op.28).

Chopin himself called this piece “Suffocation.” It is said to have been played at his funeral along with his famous funeral march. “Following a brief and ominous silence, three slow, muffled chords seem to mark eternity at the threshold of an open grave,” according to memories of Chopin’s students, its second name is “At the Grave” (Yudina).

Ivan Shapovalov, thank you
