Frédéric Chopin's Fantaisie-Impromptu in C-sharp
minor (Opus 66), is a solo piano composition and one of

In the original pioan version, the piece uses many
cross-rhythms (the right hand plays sixteenth notes
against the left hand playing triplets) and a
ceaselessly moving note figuration and is in cut time
(2/2). It concludes in an ambiguous fantasy-like

continuing with the sixteenth notes (semiquavers). The
piece resolves and gently ends on a C-sharp major
rolled chord.
Although originally composed for solo Piano, I adapted
his work for flute and Concert (Pedal) Harp.
