With the third movement, and I think the fourth movement there is some issues with the viola’s going out of range. Their lowest note is a C you have stuff going down to a B you could probably get that with the cellos.

Hello, I love Chopin's preludes, they are so great from a compositional perspective. Yours sounds nice. Perhaps there is still more to be written - just a rough sketch for now? More of a matter of subjective taste - I would have personally kept it non - minor a bit longer at measure 14 before going into your next idea. When you change the repeating note at measure 25, it feels a bit abrupt to me. For some reason, the G nat really sticks out. I don't know. A matter of personal taste again. Bar 52 feels very satisfying. I will share a video of someone else who has been inspired by chopin's rain drop prelude. Hayato Sumino - Raindrop Postlude

@Wieland Handke Thank you for the very in depth response! I actually did not know about this complimentary rhythm thing but I think it was something I was doing instinctively. For some reason I was actually avoiding it somewhat. I think I was trying to give the music room to breathe or something. And I think I might have focused too much on each line being independent and having a very coherent melody when played just by itself. At first your modifications sounded awkward to me of course I am used to my own version but after a few listens they do make a lot of sense.
