2 Preludes through all the Major Keys, Op. 39, is a set of two preludes by Ludwig van Beethoven. Composed in 1789, they were published in December 1803, along with his Romance No. 1 for Violin and Orchestra, Op. 40, and a Serenade for Piano and Flute, Op. 41. Although the original autograph is lost, a copy from Artaria still exists in Berlin.[1]

[edit]The first prelude is 6 minutes long, which gives a substantial amount of time for key changes.[1] Each key occupies between 2 and 26 measures in length, starting and ending in C major. The original ending to this prelude is now its own composition, catalogued as Hess 310.[1]
