Detailed Description
SKU: A0.1471072
Composed by Frederic Chopin. Arranged by Ray Thompson. This edition: pdf. Romantic Period, Wedding. 13 pages. RayThompsonMusic #1048696. Published by RayThompsonMusic (A0.1471072).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 my arramgement of No.15. it is the longest and one of the best known of the twenty-four.
The key signature switches between D♭ major and C♯ minor
It is known as the "Raindrop Prelude" because an A♭/G♯ sounds throughout.
Arranged by me for wind quintet
The melody is taken mainly by the oboe, and the repeating A♭/G♯ is shared between the basoon and horn.
Enjoy!
