Prelude in A Major Op.28 No.7

A slightly longer version of Chopin's Prelude in A Major, Op.28 No.7, arranged for string quartet. Following the familiar opening, with the main melody being played on the first violin, the 'cello takes over, carrying the melody once more through its second iteration. This is accompanied by a gentle pizzicato in the other instruments, leading to a harmonic climax with the instrumental lines intertwining in a short fugal passage, before returning to a final repetition of the melody as per the opening. This arrangement is suited for a relaxed encore, a musical interlude or an educational performance.
