Frédéric Chopin’s Fantaisie-Impromptu in C-sharp minor, Opus posthumous 66, is a solo piano composition and one of his most well-known pieces. It was composed in 1834 and dedicated to Julian Fontana. Some aspects of this piece are similar to the third movement of Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata. Two measures after the melody begins, an abrupt run and down has the exact same notes as the cadenza in the presto agitato of the moonlight sonata, movement 3. Also the tempo marking is identical to the famous third movement.Despite Chopin’s request that the piece not be published, Fontana did so anyway.
