[Smt-talk] Pieces with improvisatory openings

[Michael Morse]

  I'm a bit confused by the terminology here. Are these Beethoven openings best described as "improvisatory"? Or are "rhapsodic" or "fantasia" more fitting? I'm not sure whether "improvisatory" is supposed to be literal or stylistically evocative..
