Chopin Fantaisie Impromptu

One of Frédéric Chopin's most well-known pieces, the Fantaisie-Impromptu, in C-sharp minor, Opus 66, is a solo piano composition written in 1834. It is one of the Chopin works, along with Opus 67 - 73, published after his death. The melody of the Fantaisie-Impromptu's middle section was used as a popular song in numerous movies, including I'm Always Chasing Rainbows.

Frédéric Chopin (1810 - 1849), who wrote mostly for solo piano, is generally considered to be one of the great masters of Romantic music. His work, often sounding like spontaneous improvisation, is characterized by beautiful rhythmic melodies expressive of heart-felt emotion.
