Impromptus Op. 29, 36, 51: Chopin National Edition

(PWM). Includes Impromptu in A-flat Major, Op. 29; Impromptu in F-sharp Major, Op. 36; and Impromptu in G-flat Major, Op. 51. The central section of each is characterized by the cessation of movement and effusive lyricism. The opening and closing sections, though full of movement, weave long-breathed arabesques with tranquility. The sound world of the impromptus sound is "bright", subject to euphony and beautiful rhythm. The National Edition of the Works of Fryderyk Chopin Published by PWM ...
