Chopin is best known for his music for the piano.
The Prelude in D flat ("Raindrop") is one of Chopin's Piano Preludes, Opus 28. #15. The genre is "Piano Prelude" or "Piano Miniature."
Chopin wrote secular music. All of it is for or at least involves his instrument, the piano. He wrote no sacred music at all.
Frederic Chopin wrote classical music and most of his music was composed for the piano. He was from Poland and considered one of the classical greats.
There were not as many genres of music in Chopin's time as there is today, or should I say that there weren't many styles of music by today's methods of classification. Such styles as chamberand church music would not be classified under the genre of 'classical' music as they are today, rather they would have been as different to people of the time as rock and rap music are to us (that is to say, people of the twenty-first century).Since every piece of music that Chopin ever composed had a piano part, we can assume that the piano was his favourite instrument. Therefore, the music that he enjoyed would have to be in some way related to the piano, so the piano concerto or the piano sonata may well have been his preferred type of music.
