Impromptu no.1 - Op.29: Ab-major

Recording by Rubinstein

Having listened to all of the etudes, I am moving on to the impromptus; there are only four of them.

This first impromptu has a theme with several sections that sound unresolved, and this drives the listener to anticipate the next part of the piece. It also drives the music forward. As a whole, this piece flows remarkably well; the use of continuous triplets may have something to do with this.
