But it was published only after the composer’s death. The composer and pianist Julian Fontana, a close friend of Chopin’s, published the Impromptu Fantasie-Impromptu in . The work was published in 1855. Many musicians have questioned why the author did not present it to the public. For more than a century, musicians could not find unity in their own opinions. In 1960, an auction was held in Paris. Among the rare items on display was a music album that belonged to Baroness d’Este. Such a valuable item was purchased by the world-renowned pianist Arthur Rubinstein. It was in this collection that the original sheet music recording of the fantasie-impromptu was found. On the title page Chopin signed “Composed for Baroness d’Este by Frederic Chopin.“ The only mystery of the unpublished work was that it was commissioned. The Baroness was a great admirer of the Romantic composer’s work. She excelled on the piano and collected works from musicians well known at the time. Augusta Emma commissioned a work from Chopin at the first opportunity. The composer took great care with the task; he prescribed every nuance, phrasing, strokes and accents. The manuscripts, devoid of detail, remained in his desk. In 1962 Arthur Rubinstein published the Fantasia Impromptu in C-sharp minor with . In this edition, the pianist wrote his own foreword in which he suggested that Chopin did not want to publish the work as he had composed it to order, especially for the Baroness. P.S. There is a theory that Julian Fontana published Chopin’s unpublished works against the author’s wishes. Anticipating the imminent departure of Frédéric, Julian wanted to seek the composer’s approval to publish all manuscripts of works in separate editions, to which he received a firm refusal without explanation. After Chopin’s death he published seven posthumous opuses, including the Fantasie-Impromptu. 🔑Why I do it, and why exactly: Throughout my interest in classical piano music, as I listen to any piece I like, I look for the best performance for me among a huge number of recordings. What they all have in common is that in one way or another, I hear that a musician who has spent so much time achieving this extreme level of skill still fails to master the music from the first to the last note and doesn’t play the way he would like. The same problem plagued me time and time again as a pianist. Being honest with myself, I find that every time I can’t perform the music from beginning to end the way I hear it. And for me, the most important thing is the music, how it sounds, not how that sound is achieved. Then I decided to start recording music step by step and edit what was already been recorded but wasn’t satisfying. In this work I manage to keep mistakes and inaccuracies to a minimum. Literally - to bring every note, every stroke to the sound that I would like to hear in the end. This work is very similar to what Rachmaninoff, Prokofiev, Medtner, and other outstanding musicians did in the early twentieth century when they recording their piano performances on mechanical ampico piano’s rolls (for example, it took Medtner two days to record several pieces and two months to edit the roll; now I can spend a week for all of this work and this is even more than enough sometimes).
