Publisher Desc.  The masterful and powerful "Prelude in C Minor" is now arranged for a brass band! Fredric Chopin originally composed this prelude as part of a collection of 24 piano preludes, with each being in a different key. Of the 24, his Prelude in C Minor is by far the most popular because of its rich harmonic progressions, deep emotional connections, contrasting dynamics, and thick chords. When arranged for a brass ensemble, this piece ranges from an intimate chorale to a bombastic declaration. Both loud and soft expressions characterize this Chopin piece. Your brass band can demonstrate both its explosive and intimate colors with this arrangement. This piece is a great concert opener or just for fun!!
