Impromptu Op. 90 No. 2
$et in Eβ major, the piece begins with a lively scale-based and often chromatic #MELODY in triplets; it is in compound ternary form (the A section is in ternary form itself). The middle subsection of the A section is in Eβ minor and is naturally darker than the opening though still very lyrical. The section ends with two oscillating figures which act as an important bridge both here and later. The first subsection repeats but moves quickly into a codetta which reasserts Eβ minor and the darker feeling of the middle subsection. A #QUICK ascending scale leads to the B section in B minor which however contrasting, is based rhythmically on the implied accents in the structure of the A section (123123123123). This section is based on a figure alternating a widely spaced bare octave and an offbeat accented triplet. The alternation of octave and triplet becomes closer towards the end and the oscillating figures played at the end of the Eβ minor section return to lead back into the opening A section of the work. The coda is a modified version of the B section, starting in B minor but alternating that key with Eβ minor, in which key the work ends. It is one of few single-movement pieces that begin in a major key and end in the parallel minor.
