Talk:Fantaisie-Impromptu

This Moonlight stuff isn't exactly right. First off, it just happens to be in the same key as Moonlight, which is already going to cause similarities. Second, the Moonlight piece is written in very slow triplets, as apposed to Chopin's very fast sextuplets. Third,the right hand plays the triplets in Moonlight, and the left hand plays the sextuplets in Fantaisie-Impromptu. Lastly, The Monlight triplets are the melody backed by the right hand playing chords(harmony), and Fantaisie-Impromptu's sextubplets(Harmony) are played behind cut time sixteenth notes(Melody)

ahhhh its exactly the same, i was sad enough to check it. regardless of what context theyre in, theyre the same notes/melody. debussy can copy henry purcells melody but just change it into c minor and in 3 time.

the person who wrote the first para: you're talking about movement ONE of Moonlight sonata. the copy thing is directed at movement THREE.

I've been playing piano for 7 years and I can play both pieces, but I'm not sure about which stuffs you're talking. Could you please give me the numbers of them?

The most important thing?

I changed a sentence in the article. It seemed subjective and not entirely true. Original sentence: "However, the most important thing to consider was that Chopin wrote this piece at an incredibly young age." New sentence: "However, perhaps the most impressive factor to consider is that Chopin wrote this piece at an incredibly young age." Hope that was okay. Chavila 19:16, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

I've removed that whole sentence. It violates the neutral point of view policy no matter how it is phrased - stating that he was young when he composed it is enough. Graham87 04:57, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Okay, good. Chavila 19:56, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Can someone please get ride of the use of the term "semiquaver"? It may be standard British usage but hardly any Americans will know the term...and there are a few more of us...plus "sixteenth-note matches German and Polish terminology.
