Impromptu, moment musical: despite their connotation, these and similar designations are not paraphrases of improvisation, but refer instead to the capturing of a moment in music, in the sense of a genre painting or a character piece. This sense at the same time tacitly implies a negative definition: ‘not a sonata’. In other words the genre of the moment renounces the demand for completeness, for perfection conveyed by the synthesis of the sonata form.
