Nocturne for String Quartet or Viola Quartet
You can listen to the string quartet version here, and the viola quartet version here. And you can find the score and parts for both versions on this page of the IMSLP.
Arrangement: J.S. Bach Adagio from the F minor Violin Sonata, BWV 1018, for String Quartet, Clarinet Quartet, or Viola Quartet
[The version for viola quartet looks a lot like the version for clarinet quartet, but, like the string quartet version, it is in G minor rather than C minor--the original key.]
