- This piece comes from a set of two Impromptus for piano that Coleridge-Taylor published in 1911.1
- This is a late work; Coleridge-Taylor died in 1912, the year after its publication.2
- Isata Kanneh-Mason’s album Summertime contains the world-premiere recording of this work.
- As you’ve likely guessed from the name, the genre of impromptu often implies an improvisatory character. Czech composer Jan Václav Hugo Voříšek published the first recorded works called “impromptus” around 1822.
