Frédéric Chopin (1810-1849): 24 Preludes, Opus 28 (1839)
No. 4, Prelude in E Minor

This is my own arrangement of the Chopin Prelude in E Minor, for mandolin and mandola (in CGDA tuning). I have kept very close to Chopin's piano score -- the mandolin plays the right-hand melody note for note except for a simplified ornamentation at the climax of the piece, with the mandola playing the ostinato quaver rhythm in Chopin's original octave (except for the final chords, which were raised by an octave). The chords were simplified to double stops, preserving wherever possible the descending chromatic chord sequence while at the same time looking for natural fingering on the mandola to ensure playability.

I am posting the score and parts in the classical forum at mandolincafe.com, in standard notation and tab.
