Beautifully Sad

Today, I met a teacher who was newly diagnosed with diabetes mellitus.
When I asked her how she felt on hearing the news, she replied "disappointed".
Disappointment, a mixture of sadness, hopelessness, and struggle.

Chopin's Prelude Op 28, No. 15, D flat Major "Raindrop Prelude"
Beautifully and sadly describes the struggle. Reference quoted that this song was composed in Majorca, on his doctor's advise to enjoy a warm dry climate, but he experienced some rains. The tranquility of the song peace depicts Chopin's contentment with his current situation. Yet the toil of his illness and I guess disappointment was brought out in anguish in the strong middle section of crashing chords. The piece ended with the same tranquility of raindrop effect though softly repeated notes at the background of a melody.

Hope my patient will be like this song, after the struggle, the peace regains.
