This beautiful little E- prelude by Chopin adapts well into a tune format (see pdf lead sheet attached). The changes are interesting and fun to improvise on. I think it makes a great solo piece. The long sustained melody notes are perfect for vibes.

Gerry Mulligan recorded a version of this piece with his group. You can listen to it on Youtube.
