From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Frédéric Chopin's Impromptu No. 2 in F sharp major, Op. 36 was composed in 1839 and published in the following year. The dolcissimo melody occurs throughout the piece and there is an indefinite tonality.
The Impromptu begins with a nocturne-esque chord. The piece is in the less commonly used key of F-sharp major, which is used in very few major compositions in the Romantic era, such as Ludwig van Beethoven's A Thérèse sonata and Chopin's famous Barcarolle (Chopin).
