Chopin Prelude 15 (Raindrop) used in Halo 3 "Believe" ad

Raindrop Prelude - The common and unsubstantiated nickname for FRÉDÉRIC CHOPIN'S Prelude in D-flat major (op.28, no. 15, 1836-39).
Legend states that Chopin composed the prelude while waiting for George Sand and her children to return from a shopping trip on the island of Majorca, where they were living. A slow steady rain was falling, stimulating Chopin's OSTINATO on the dominant A♭ of the TONIC key. The A♭ changes enharmonically to G♯ in the piece's middle section.
Chopin specifically denied this story, which was circulating already during his lifetime, but picturesque sentimental tales are notoriously hard to kill.

It sounds so... tragic. It's just me or is because I've seen the Halo advertisement?

Excellent piece, played expertly. Captured the emotion of the song perfectly, not only technically speaking but your ability to keep the dynamics of the piece so precise show's a lot of emotion. Which unforntunatly is missing from today's music....in summary i tip ny hat to you good sir
