Added meaning to agree with Wesley's de-orphan on "Joust".
The term was coined in the first quarter of the 19th century, with pieces by two now ignored composers titled as such. The first impromptus of note were written by [[Franz Schubert]] in 1827, though published (and named) between 1827 and 1859. [[Chopin]] and [[Robert Schumann|Schumann]] were other composers of notable impromptus during the first decades of the [[Romantic period (music)|Romantic era]] and [[Gabriel Faure]] and others have written them since.
