Winter of 1838-1839

Chopin and George Sands stayed in the Cartuja, which at that point was a series of private residences. Now, they have a Steinway and the international Chopin festival. There is also a short concert at 12:30. However, on 28th December, 1838 it was not the case when 13 days post arrival George Sands wrote to Countess Marliani: "Chopin is playing a wretched Majorcan piano."

However, on it he composed the Prelude: the drop of water.

However, he soon received the Pleyel piano on which he composed numerous works including:

Preludes Op. 28
Ballad Op. 38
Polonaise Op. 40
Scherzo Op. 39
