Four Preludes, Op 28 for flute quintet

Frederic Chopin was always inventive, never more so than in this collection of Preludes from op. 28. They are truly little gems as they mix the sweet and the flashy. Originally for piano, they work very well for flutes and a piccolo. There are no major technical issues other than working up to tempo in the vivace sections and passing the runs smoothly between parts. Conductor-friendly rests are added between the four.
