Chopin's Preludes

Between 1843-1844, Chopin started working on a new masterwork, the berceuse. A berceuse, is a musical piece in 6/8, which has a lullaby characteristic. Chopin actually wanted to name this peice "Variantes", because most of the piece is base on variations upon a rocking-lullaby left hand chords, but for publicity reasons, the name was altered afterwards to "berceuse".
