Why didn’t Chopin like Fantaisie Impromptu?

[chopineater]

I’ve been wondering why recently, about why Chopin didn’t like Fantaisie Impromptu? It’s one of his most popular pieces in standard repertoire. I guess it’s good for us that his publisher didn’t listen to him and still let it see the light of day. But for such a beautiful masterpiece, why didn’t he want to publish it?

Because it was stolen from a composer who was very well-known at the time:

He did this with some regularity. Among his most frequent "victims" were Moscheles (above), Hummel, Kalkbrenner, and Weber. Though he did also steal from composers who remain in standard rep; Chopin Ballade no. 1 coda for example bears a striking similarity to Beethoven's Sonata no. 23.

such a beautiful masterpiece

I dislike both the Chopin and Moscheles versions, though I actually like the Moscheles more...
