! + impromptu
by Sangyong Choi
The term ‘impromptu’ is a form of classical music that consists of sudden musical inspiration of its composer. It is also known as a sort of ‘character piece’ which means ‘improvised performing’; however, the ‘impromptu’ does not always follow its ‘impromptu’ic form as performed based on a fixed score, rather than that ‘everything is sudden.’
Schubert’s <op.90,42> and Chopin’s <op.26,36,51,66> are typical.
