Written by Frédéric Chopin (1810–1849), Prelude in E minor, Op. 28 No. 4 is slow and in a minor key, with a wistful feel, in the Romantic style. The version here is level 2 of 5 (easy), in E minor and about 1:48 long. In the app it belongs to the Preludes & fugues collection. Note the pickup: the music starts with an upbeat before the first full bar, so count yourself in before the first note.

How to play Prelude in E minor, Op. 28 No. 4 on piano
- Learn each hand on its own before putting them together. In the app, choose Left or Right and the other hand plays for you, so you still hear the whole piece.
- Use Wait mode for the first few runs, then play along at 50% speed with the count-in.
- Work in short sections of four to eight bars rather than always starting from the top.
- Each hand has its own line here. Practise hands separately until both lines are secure; in the app, choose Left or Right and the app plays the other hand for you.
- Short daily sessions beat one long weekly one. Ten focused minutes a day is enough to make steady progress.
In the PianoKite app you can learn it with your own digital piano over Bluetooth or USB, or with any piano through the microphone: the score scrolls past a playhead, the keys light up, and every bar gets a score so you can see what's learned.
