Fantaisie-Impromptu in C# minor (Op.66) composed by

Frédéric Chopin

performed by

Rousseau

Frédéric Chopin was a virtuoso pianist and composer.  He clearly stated that any music that was NOT published before his death was NEVER to be published. 

Fortunately for music lovers everywhere, this instruction was ignored – and Fantaisie-Impromptu WAS published.  It is one of Chopin’s most famous pieces.
