One of Frederic
Chopin's best known
works, Prelude, Op. 28,
No. 4, presents
emotion-packed
performance opportunities
for bands at all levels.
This new Ed Huckeby
transcription for band
provides an almost
literal translation of
Chopin's original work
with tremendous musical
challenges in both the
interpretive and dynamic
realms, providing the
ensemble an opportunity
to explore musical
possibilities which might
be less attainable in a
more technical piece. The
recognizable melodic and
harmonic structures will
make this piece a real
hit with concert
audiences and provides an
opportunity to teach the
musical styles of the
greatest 19th century
composer of piano music.
Great music!
