Chopin: Prelude No 7 in A Op.28 No.7 - wind quintet

Prelude No 7 in A Op.28 No.7

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 7 in A major

In the style of a mazurka.

It is very short - 16 bars

Arranged here for wind quintet

Transposed into Bb to aid performers.

Check out my Chopin arrangements of some of his other Preludes (including "Raindrop") and of Nocturne No.2.
