WHAT DOES IMPROMPTU MEAN IN PORTUGUESE?

Impromptu

An impromptu is a free musical form with an improvisational character. It can be written for any solo instrument, but the great majority is written for piano. The term was used for the first time in 1817, in the German artistic journal Allgemeine musikalische Zeitung, like way of describing a piece for piano written by Voříšek. It was not long before the first generation of Romantic composers carried this idea forward. Schubert published two series of four impromptus, and Chopin wrote three, plus Fantaisie-Impromptu. This form continued popular throughout the 19th century. In the twentieth century there are few examples of composers who have named their pieces by that name. An example is Fantasias-Impromptu written by Donald Martino in 1980. The English rock group Queen also presented in 1986 a song called "Impromptu" at their show at Wembley Stadium.
