Chopin, Fantaisie Impromptu, Frederic Chopin

Chopin wrote his Fantaisie-Impromptu in 1834 and deducated it to Julian Fontana, who published the piece despite Chopin’s explicit request not to do so. The Fantasie-Impromptu draws many elements from Beethoven so called Moonlight Sonata, also in C sharp minor. It has been said that the piece is a rare instance in which a genius discloses what he actually hears in the music of other genius. Music from the site
