Impromptu in C-sharp minorOp. 66

Also known as Fantaisie-Impromptu

Frédéric Chopin

Chopin wrote this impromptu in 1834–35 but never published it; Julian Fontana issued it in 1855 as the Fantaisie-Impromptu. Restless sixteenths in the right hand run against triplets in the left, framing a Moderato cantabile song in D-flat major. Edited from Herrmann Scholtz's Peters edition, with its fingering, and compared with Fontana's Berlin edition and Chopin's 1835 presentation manuscript.
