Fantaisie Impromptu
Aug 24th, 2009 by oldfogey
The ‘Rainbow’ melody, mentioned in my previous post on Judy Garland, was Chopin’s - from his Fantaisie Impromptu Op.66. It starts furiously, as if in a storm, clouds scudding across the sky, then the melody arrives like sun through rain. It could not be more appropriate for chasing rainbows.
This is Christina Ortiz. She doesn’t sentimentalise the lovely melody, and it’s all the more touching for that.
