Product Description

Chopin wrote a number of preludes for piano solo. His cycle of 24 Preludes, Op. 28, covers all major and minor keys.

In addition, Chopin wrote three other preludes: a prelude in C minor, Op. 45; a piece in A major from 1834; and an unfinished piece in E minor. These are sometimes referred to as Nos. 25, 26, and 27, respectively.

This is no 6 in B minor.

I have transposed it up to C minor, to fit the range of the Bb clarinet.

Check out my original version In Bminor which has a Clarinet in A part

It is quite short - 28 bars long

This prelude was played at Chopin's funeral on organ.
Its melancholy melody is primarily given to the pianist's left hand.

Rather than giving the melody to the bassoon, I have given it primarly to the clarinet, with the 8 bar middle section given to the bassoon

Arranged here for wind quintet

NOTE: CLARINET PART IS FOR CLARINET IN Bb
