【Classical music and nature 古典音樂小站】Frédéric Chopin: Preludes, Op. 28 - No. 17 'Scene on the Place de Notre-Dame', No. 21 'Sunday'. This beautiful piece was played by Ivan Ilic. It has Creative Commons license (CC BY 3.0 DEED, Attribution 3.0 Unported) and is provided through www.musopen.org.

No. 17 'Scene on the Place de Notre-Dame' is one of Chopin's softest and most melodic pieces. This delicate and beautiful gem is said to have been a favourite of many composers; Mendelssohn wrote of it, "I love it! I cannot tell you how much or why; except perhaps that it is something I could never have written at all. There is a sense of floating, release, almost bliss in the piece as a whole. But even this bliss is open to interpretation. The piece feels slightly hesitant; you want to savour the moment of happiness and not let it go. In contrast, Arrau's hands make the piece sound a little tense and nervous, despite the serenity that is present.
