this is one of my favourite Chopin works.... definitely needs to be shortened, as modern day listeners get bored very easily and you need to capture them within the first few bars or they've moved on.... a word of advice though, I would listen carefully to the key of each chord and to the start of your own composition... match the correct Chopin chord with your first bar of music  to make it blend it harmonically.   Also I would layer the beginning section of the Chopin with an alberti bass after say bar 4 .. the end of the initial Chopin statment... then after two more bars you could start to layer... vocal harmonies 2 part, 3 part then 4 part... then the melody;. at least this way you give a good build up. to the climax and entry of your own original work.. build the anticipation and colours... especially if you are to use a masterpiece such as the Prelude :)  enjoy !

Guess I could always throw the whole prelude on the end of the album.

why not remix...take the chords find a loop bring 4 on the floor in and then make it epic? turned chopin in Gm into a hip hop beat once...

Well played but i get to admit that I thought you would make a kind of remix like Disasterpeace with Continuum, in the Fez soundtrack. (Another Chopin masterpiece op.28)

Frédéric Chopin - Prelude in C Minor (op. 28, no. 20)

Manuel de Falla - Ritual Fire Dance from El Amor Brujo
The Miami Symphony Orchestra
Eduardo Marturet - Conductor

The pandemic changed the world. After a year like no other, we found ourselves in lockdown and hiding our faces from everybody. But, the hope was always there. Un Ballo in Maschera was recorded in 2021 as a reminder of what we faced and as a celebration of the beautiful future that lies ahead. The Miami Symphony Orchestra pays a well-deserved tribute to our devoted musicians' talent and dedication. It offers a repertoire inspired by the lockdown, with the hope of a new world, with us coming back stronger than ever!
