Fantaisie-Impromptu in C-sharp minor, Op. 66
by Frédéric Chopin
PianoRomanticImpromptu~5 minadvanced
Published posthumously against Chopin's wishes, the Fantaisie-Impromptu is one of the most popular piano pieces ever written. Its technical challenge lies in the polyrhythmic interplay of four-against-three between the hands. The dreamy central cantabile section contrasts with the fiery outer sections.
