The first study of this volume looks for reminiscences of Dies Irae
in Chopin's works. A great number of allusions and affinities are
found in the preludes as well as in Chopin's output. The study also
yields insights into Chopin's composition method. These
intertextual findings are used in an attempt to establish the
extra-musical content of the Second Ballade. Five preludes - A
minor, E minor, B minor, A major and C minor - are closely
examined, using diverse analytical approaches. A primary concern is
to critically assess previous readings, and Schenkerian ones in
particular. An analysis of the initial right-hand passage of the
F-minor etude from Methode brings up matters of idiomatic and
ontology.
