Chopin: Preludes and Ballades
Prelude in E minor, Op.28, No.4
Two of Chopin's most characteristic traits are evident in this short example. The first is the freedom of tempo that is a result of his use of tempo rubato. The second is the way that the accompanying harmonies change subtly and almost imperceptibly.
