Frédéric Chopin: Fantaisie Impromptu Op. 66: Brass Band: Score and Parts

Published posthumously in 1855 the Fantaisie Impromptu In C# Minor Op. Post.66 is one of Chopin???s most frequently performed and popular compositions.There was initially some mystery surroundingthe piece and why Chopin never published it during his lifetime. James Huneker trying to explain why the piece was not published calls parts of it 'mawkish' and 'without nobility' whilst Ernst Oster writes that atechnical exploration would show why Chopin did not publish the work and that exploration shows that the Fantaisie-Impromptu and Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata ('Quasi una fantasia') are related.Themystery may have been solved in 1960 when pianist Arthur Rubinstein acquired the 'Album of the Baroness d'Este' which had been sold at auction in Paris. The album contained a manuscript of the Fantaisie-Impromptu written in Chopin's own hand and dated 1835. The title page for the manuscript states that the piece was 'Composed for the Baroness d'Este by Fr?d?ric Chopin' and from this Rubinstein surmises that the words 'Composedfor' in place of a dedication imply that Chopin received a paid commission for the work.This Henle Urtext Edition for solo Piano has been edited by Ewald Zimmermann and includes fingering by Hans-MartinTheopold.

This famous Chopin melody is here accessibly arranged in C major. Though a bit simplified it still achieves the rich open harmonies that support the theme. Known to some as ?I?m Always Chasing Rainbows ? perhaps because it plays so calmly after a stormy opening in the original version. Makes a great introduction to the world of virtuosic repertoire.

This delightful Chopin classic has been arranged for piano solo and is suitable for any intermediate level pianist.

Impromptus-Conform?ment ? ce genre cr?? par Franz Schubert les quatre impromptus de Chopin pr?sentent un fort caract?re d???improvisation tout en restant toujours parfaitement l?gers et ?l?gants. Ces qualit?s s???appliquent en particulier aux trois premiers morceaux du pr?sent volume les opus 29 36 et 51. Tandis que le premier d???entre eux date vraisemblablement de 1837 l???op. 36 fut compos? en 1839 et l???opus 51 trois ans plus tard pendant le s?jour de Chopin au domaine de Nohant appartenant ? l????crivain George Sand avec qui il entretenait une relation amoureuse. Le num?ro d???opus de la Fantaisie-Impromptu op. 66 est trompeur car elle fut compos?e en 1834 soit avant les trois autresimpromptus. Chopin n???avait manifestement pas pr?vu de la faire publier mais son ami Julian Fontana se chargea de le faire apr?s la mort du compositeur. La version imprim?e d?note toutefois des diff?rences tellement importantes par rapport au manuscrit autographe heureusement conserv? que l????dition Henle-Urtext reproduit les deux versions.
