Fantaisie-Impromptu was published independently in England, France, and Germany (Due to the complex copyright laws in place at the time). This led to there being 3 First-Editions of Fantaisie-Impromptu, an English, French, and German Version.
Notes: Fantaisie-Impromptu is a work that was published posthumously (meaning after the composer’s death). It was published in a set named Œuvres Posthumous (Posthumous Works). According to available information, these were most likely published as a group and individually.
Here are the decorative covers for each of the first editions (Images coming soon)
