This is No.6 from Chopin's set of 24 preludes each in a different major or minor key. The original preludes are for Piano, though this arrangement by Artur Akshelyan is for a woodwind quartet. Here is the full score of the arrangement, and the four parts for Flute, Oboe, Clarinet in B-flat and Bassoon. In this arrangement the bassoon carries the main theme throughout with just a little help from the clarinet.
Here is the original version of this prelude for Piano solo. The complete set of piano preludes by Chopin is available from Sheet Music Plus (US) or The Music Room (UK).
