Impromptu No. 2 (Chopin)

Frédéric Chopin's Impromptu No. 2 in F major, Op. 36 was composed in 1839 and published in the following year.

Music

The Impromptu begins with a nocturne-esque chord. The piece is in the less commonly used key of F major, which is used in very few major compositions in the Romantic era, such as Ludwig van Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 24 and Chopin's famous Barcarolle.

gollark: It's a shame that the Internet's become structured so that direct P2P messaging doesn't really work.
gollark: Oh, and even if you're not concerned about privacy Google has a horrible habit of randomly dropping support for products like RCS.
