By spanning almost his entire creative life, they give us a marvellous opportunity to see not only how his early works were already totally inspired and original, but also how his style and emotional maturity developed through the years.\\r\u003cbr\u003eThe four Impromptus date from 1835 to 1842. The title suggests improvisation; they might very well have been conceived as such initially, but we know that Chopin went through agonies when it came to writing a musical idea down. He would often spend six weeks on a page, only to return to what he had written in the first place. You wouldn\\u2019t know it listening to these pieces. They are full of vitality and freshness, and carry us along with great fluidity.\\r\u003cbr\u003eHewitt\\u2019s performances are every bit as fresh as one would expect from the pianist hailed as \\u2018one of the reliably mesmerising musicians of the day\\u2019, with \\u2018the ability to convey a spiritual seriousness that nonetheless does not exclude an utter charm\\u2019 (The Sunday Times).\u003cp\u003eNocturne in C Sharp Minor, Op.
