Chopin was seventeen years old when Beethoven died. Comparing that to Beethoven who was born twenty years after J.S. Bach died, it just gives you perspective on how rapidly the musical style changed, partially fueled by the evolution of the piano as an instrument. Fantasie-Impromptu, although much more Romantic in style, was in fact inspired by Beethoven's Piano Sonata Op. 27-2, nicknamed "Moonlight." Yet, it is still arpeggiated harmonic progression, and in that, it can be compared to the Bach preludes we looked at previously!

バッハの死後、ベートーヴェンの誕生まで20年の歳月が経っていますが、ベートーヴェンの死去の年、ショパンはすでに17歳でした。そう考えながらバッハ・ベートーヴェン・ショパンと曲を追っていくと、音楽様式の進化がピアノという楽器の発展とともに加速している様子が如実にわかります。
でも実はショパンの幻想即興曲はベートーヴェンのソナタ作品27−２「月光」に触発されていますし、分散された和声進行という意味では、バッハの前奏曲に遡って比べることもできますよね。
