Beschreibung
A great number of reminiscences of Dies Irae are found in Chopin’s works, in the preludes as well as in the entire work. The results are used to shed a light on the programmatic content of the Second Ballade. Five preludes are closely analyzed, occasioning critique of previous Schenkerian readings.
