Let n be an integer greater than 2, and let the largest prime divisor of n be denoted by $\tilde{n}$. The terms of the sequence $(a_n)$ are defined for $n \geq 2$ as
$$a _ { n } = \left\{ \begin{aligned} 1 & , \tilde{n} < 10 \\ - 1 & , \tilde{n} > 10 \end{aligned} \right.$$
Accordingly, what is the sum $\sum _ { n = 15 } ^ { 30 } a _ { n }$?
A) 2
B) 3
C) 4
D) 5
E) 6
