Prelude 20 In C Minor Tab

Frédéric Chopin
Prelude op. 28 n. 20 in C#m
Transcribed by Francisco Tárrega
 
Tabbed by Fritz
November 2014
 
*I know Prelude op. 28 n. 20 in C#m is the correct title, but UG won't let me change the name*
 
Hey guys, this is my first tab ever. It was time I made my contribution to the community.
 
I’ve changed some voicings so they’re easier to play (at least for my small fingers).
The voicings that differ from Tárrega’s version are marked with a * and the original voicings
appear below.
 
Make sure you notice every little melody and play them thoughtfully.
They are not always on the highest note so bear in mind that they should be perfectly clear
and audible.
 
I love playing this piece on piano too.
Btw I suggest you listen to Angra – Visions prelude — amazing arrangement!
 
st.: strum
