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.
