Chopin's "Raindrop" Prelude (Op. 28 No. 15): a calm, singing melody over a note that keeps tapping like rain, then a stormy middle section and the gentle return. Here it is a semitone up in D major, where the repeated note is the guitar's open A string. Ornaments and pauses are left out. About five minutes.
