Preludes (Chopin)

Prelude 15, page 1 (autograph)
Preludes Op. 28, by Frédéric Chopin, are a set of 24 short pieces written for the piano, one in each key, originally published in 1839. Although the term prelude is generally used to describe an introductory piece, Chopin's Preludes stand as self-contained units, each meant to convey a specific idea or emotion.
Chopin's Preludes have been compared to Johann Sebastian Bach's Preludes in the Well-Tempered Clavier. However, each of Bach's preludes leads to a fugue in the same key, and Bach's pieces were arranged chromatically, while Chopin's were arranged in a circle of fifths. Chopin wrote his Preludes between 1835 and 1839, partly at Valldemossa, Majorca where the composer spent the winter of 1838/9 and where he had fled with George Sand and her children to escape the damp Paris weather.[1]
Due to apparent lack of formal structure and brevity, the Preludes caused some consternation among critics at the time of their publication.[2] No prelude is longer than 90 measures (Prelude No. 17) and the shortest a mere 13 measures (Prelude No. 20). Robert Schumann said, They are sketches, beginnings of etudes, or, so to speak, ruins, individual eagle pinions, all disorder and wild confusions.[3] Franz Liszt's opinion, however, may have been positive — Chopins Preludes are compositions of an order entirely apart."[3] Since that time, the Preludes have become standard fare for the average pianist. Many major performers have recorded the set, beginning with Alfred Cortot in 1926.

In 1994, her book Night Journeys received the Argentina National Book Award. “This book is pervaded by the spooky sense of a woman traveling in many directions, most of them unrequested, journeying through shadows and mirrors, navigating the mysteries by shuttling between life and death”

Camden County High School (Camden, North Carolina)

Camden County High School is centrally located in Camden County, North Carolina.
When I was in a room on the upper floor, I had a toxic waterfall coming down the wall behind my screen. The roof was fixed several times, but the waterfall kept coming back when it rained. Not only was the air conditioning not working, but the heat was on in the room. Each building has a dish on the roof to beam things back and forth to the server dish on the library roof. The dish on our roof is placed so that there is no problem during the cold months, but in the spring when the leaves come oout, our dish cannot see the library, because there is a tree in the way. In the buildingnext to mine, when it rains hard, there is no way to put out enough buckets to catch the drips and streams of water coming through the roof.
